Duplex MMDVM & Raspberry Pi4 & 3B+ | Room for 0.96” Screen | Zebra DRPi-1S (Black Ice)

I got this to replace the really, really cheap clear plastic case that came with my PI 2 based Hotspot. I put it in this case and now I'm proud to have it in my shack. I like the clear cases; I want the electronic guts to show through a bit (looks cool). This case does that very elegantly. The stacked design holds the boards in securely without the need for standoffs, and once all screwed together it's very, very sturdy. Rubber feet are a nice touch, if you lay yours on your bench. I will likely get a C4 case for my next little project, a Pi Zero based Hotspot for mobile use.

Very good case, good quality, and easy to build. Would recommend if you use a Raspberry Pi B + board with MMDVM dual band hat.

I was trying to get the holes in my Pi 3B+ to align with the bolt holes in the case, they do not. The Pi 3B+ and Hat sit in a snug space within the case. Please check the assembly instructions as steps 8 and 9 on my instructions appear to be reversed. It is the best designed cases I have ever seen. I am planning to purchase another one for another hotspot.

Using this with a raspberry pi-4 and a MMDVM modem.Bit of a puzzle to put together, but it does make a nice unit.Sort of like building a log cabin, as the pieces stack on to each other.It also looks pretty cool on my desk!I would have given it 4 stars but the instructions are a bit ambiguous and you may need to file a tiny bit to get everything to fit. Don't sweat that though, its worth it.

Great product

While the product looks impressive once assembled, I've encountered a significant issue with heat retention. Without the option to add a fan, the case's internal temperature can rise substantially. This is especially problematic given my ambient room temperature, which typically ranges between 65 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. I imagine most folks are going to find themselves in rooms warmer than this. I'm running a Raspberry Pi 4, which runs warmer than a Raspberry Pi 3 3B, but the issue with heat retention is too much for me to overlook.I also agree with another reviewer about the instructions. Since they only provide pictures (no text) you have to look carefully and pick up on the subtle differences between the pieces.

This product arrived quickly. It is priced reasonably. It is well-packed in a sturdy cardboard shipping container. It is made well. The directions for assembly are simple, straight forward, and thought out in an understandable manner. The customer service is evident in the enclosed materials which include a business card and wooden, laser-cut coaster.

I have been using Raspberry Pis for many years and one thing I have never understood is why so many cases for Pis have to be as complicated as possible with as many parts as they can possibly envision instead of simply making a box with four sides, top, and bottom. This box is completely ridiculous. It does perform the function it was designed to perform albeit in a Rube Goldberg design. In summary, I bought three of these and spent probably an hour and a half putting together a box that was made with as many parts as possible and made as complicated as possible for no reason at all. I absolutely would not buy this again.
