Neat!

This case is really close to the mini nes classic edition that we all are trying so hard to get ahold of, well aside from the black stripe across the front and top by the vents. The screws take a little common sense to figure out. Just apply a little pressure when screwing them in and you are set. When properly configured it honestly feels like you could have bought this from a big box store as an official product from nintendo almost. The lid opening is amazing as well and from a distance it really does look nice. It’ll get people talking as well when they see it.Suggestions would be to add functioning buttons to the front as well as add that black stripe for cosmetics. Cool item and I have bought a couple for friends as well.

The hinge on the front (that covers the USB ports) feels nice and functions perfectly

All of the plugs matched up perfectly to my raspberry pie B+.The halves fit together really well.The hinge on the front (that covers the USB ports) feels nice and functions perfectly.They even sent extra instructions on how to get RetroPie installed and setup.If you are building an emulator using a pie product this is a nice way to make it look nice and clean next to your tv. Without this it would have been a fragile looking computer chip sitting on the entertainment center.I would by another if I ever had the need for 2 of these I would by another.

Great Case for Retro Pi, as well as Great Customer Service.

This case fits the Raspberry Pie like a glove. Unlike the 3D printer cases, this case can pass as an OEM case. Well manufactured product. The case provides ample room for ventilation, as well as for adding items to the GPIO (e.g., led lights, fan, etc.). I had an issue with my original order and the seller customer service was outstanding. I will definitely be buying from this vendor again. Very satisfied with overall purchase and superb customer service.

Tiny powerhouse for a RPi3!

This little case is excellent! There is a lot of space for components inside. The screws hold the board securely. My only tiny complaint is for as big as the case is, I wish the “cartrige” door had just about a quarter of an inch gap between the door and the USB ports to put micro USB bluetooth receivers (like Logitech’s) under the door and have it completely close.Highly recommend. I was not paid or given free product to test for this review, but I would love that chance. ;)

Neat case, always grabs guests’ attention!

Awesome looking case for Raspberry Pi! I built a RetroPie and was looking for a case, and this one fits the bill perfectly. I also added a Pimoroni Blinkt to the GPIO of the Pi, edited the crontab to have a basic rainbow python script running at startup and now it looks really neat and adds an unexpected splash of light! **Note, if you intend to do this with this case, you’ll need to install a 90 degree header adapter as the way the case mounts together conflicts with the overhang of the blinkt.(My only complaint is that the screws that hold the case together have very small heads, and I don’t have a screwdriver this small. I think you’d need eyeglass screwdrivers (Phillips) to tighten down the screws properly)

Great Case! Even Better Customer Service!!

So Amazon’s delivery service messed up the first time I ordered this case and I never found it, even though it said it was delivered at 10:09 pm (??). Amazon was quick to rectify the problem and issue me a refund which was nice, but Joep from Old Skool Tools took it even further and sent me a free one! Such a nice gesture and the case is super cool. Really, it looks pretty rad. It fits my Pi 3 Model B nice & secure and functions well (i.e. front hinge, porthole sizes, vent, etc.). Old Skool Tools is there if you need their technical support and they also offer a tutorial regarding what goes inside the case upon purchase. I’m not sure if the price is a tad high (I could see how someone may think that), but given the customer service they provide on top of a really cool case it is well worth the cost.

These are what I am looking for.

These are what I am looking for. The best product, high quality and low price . They preformed there duty with honor and respect. In the hot summer, they will be better.

could have been perfect

unless you have a screwdriver with a tiny head and a big grip, it’s not going to seat properly. i have a tiny screwdriver with a small grip and it gets to the point where you just…

It’s a good little Rasberry Pi 3 box

It’s a good little Rasberry Pi 3 box. My friend loves it (gift). The perfectionist in me doesn’t like that it doesn’t line up perfectly and the hinged front is too loose.

Looks awesome. The tiny screws easily strip especially since it takes so much force to secure the 2 pieces together.

Five Stars

Its badass

Love it

Very nice repo in a tiny size. Pi fits great and haven’t had any overheating issues. Still easy to get to the sd card.I would say don’t even include the heatsinks.
