Good case and yes you can add a fan on the inside
First i want to say I like this case and have had no issues with it.Second I want to correct the person in the Q&A section who said you cannot mount fan. I did on the inside with minimal modifications. The only thing i had to modify on the case itself was remove some little plastic tabs that stick out which didn't seem to have a purpose unless they were for some other accessory that i don't have. Either way see my photos attached for my internal fan and a pic of the modified area.Also you have to have the right size fan or in other words it has to be small enough. The one i used came out of a laptop I think. I did have to modify this particular fan because it had a bunch of unnecessary housing and metal connected which was to connect it in its previous device but was not necessary for the fan to work. Therefore i removed all extra stuff leaving just the fan and its basic housing and wires. It actually had 3 wires (red, black, and yellow) but only black and red are used so i also removed yellow wire so it wouldn't be int the way. Finally as you can see in the pics there is tape around the wires since i didn't have any actual gpio wire at the time so i used tape so the wires could slide down around the gpio pins and make a good connection. I also used hot glue to mount the fan to the case.Tested with fan and everything works. Fan runs when device is turned on.Photo 1 shows inside case with fan.Photo 2 shows case closed with fan showing through ventilation holes.Photo 3 shows the pieces of case that have to be removed to mount fan.

Fits like a glove and the price is right
I love it. I like the look, and you can't beat the price. Also some very nice design features, which I haven't seen other cases. There are three pieces, which I will refer to as the top, middle and bottom.The board goes into and out of the bottom easily if needed.The top part slips onto and off of the middle easily. It is designed so that it leaves a small gap (1/16 inch?) between the top and the middle on all four sides; very smart design feature. This allows a little airflow for cooling.It also makes it easy to connect a ribbon cable to the 40 pin connector for whatever purpose and/or connect a camera or display .Good job, folks. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product.Now this is just a personal note; nowadays everything is black. My computer, monitors, keyboard,laptop, 55# widescreen TV, tablet, and even my alarm clock. Look around and check out your own stuff. Due to this, I spray painted the middle part white. Check my pictures. I think it adds a nice personal.Maybe I'll paint racing stripes on the next one.

Cleans up the look of the Pi
This is a great piece and conceals my RasPi very well. Unfortunately my unit arrived pretty scuffed up and some of the plastic is warped so it doesn't close up perfectly. My Pi is tucked away and all I really care about is that it's alive and on the network, so the aesthetic blemishes don't bother me much. The added heatsinks were a nice touch and my Pi is running cooler than before. I'd buy this again if I had more RasPi's.

Good protective casing
Does its job, and does it well. A simple enclosure to keep the internal components of your pi safe and dryAs an added bonus they come with a heat sink you can attach to the CPU to keep it nice and cool. Very much exceeds the value of the purchase, good product

Good case for Raspberry Pi 2 Model B
As intended. Works with Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. No complaints. Will buy again if needed.

Works as intended
It does take a little work and patience to assembly this Rpi case, but when completed it provides sturdy protection for my Rpi 3B+. Be aware that you will need a pair of tweezers to get the SD card out of its holder once the Rpi is installed in this case.

This is a great starting case for your Pi
This product does not fit the v1.2 B+ model. If you have that, you cannot install the smaller heatsink as it doesn't have the correct cutout. Otherwise, it works as expected.
