RETROFLAG64Pi Case for Raspberry Pi5, SD Card Storage, Safe Shutdown and Safe Reset, MetaData in Emulation Station auto Saved

This thing looks great. It fit well with my pi. It's a bit fiddly to put everything together, thanks to the small size, but nothing too overwhelming. My only mild complaint is that the heatsink provided doesn't quite cover all of the chips that are covered by the official heatsink / fan. Still, i haven't had any issues with overheating or anything.I love the rerouting of the USB to the front - that's what sold me on using this instead of just 3D printing an equivalent case. My DIY one wouldn't have looked as nice, and wouldn't have functioned as well, so i'm happy with this purchase.

The raspberry pi 5 fits perfectly in this case. It can get a little tricky trying to push the wires into their designated spots, but its straight forward. The case feels sturdy and strong. Highly recommended.

I never had an N64, but this looked awesome so I bought it. Fits snug and was pretty easy to get together with the Raspberry 5 8Gb. One screw was a bit of a struggle to get in, but other than that it looks great. The cooling seems to be OK, it did get pretty hot to the touch running Batocera and playing Mario Golf on N64.

Bought this on a whim, I didn’t really need it, but glad I bought it.The case is the usual from retroflag, so a well made product it is. If they made other colors I’d probably buy a red one for another room PI emulator.I’ll also add this if it helps anyone.The pi 5 case I was using before this one, it was a heavy metal cnc made case. I was having lag via my Bluetooth controller without an external usb Bluetooth dongle. With this case being plastic, I do not have the Bluetooth lag any longer.Also, I wish retroflag would post an updated safe shutdown/reset script. The script on their GitHub for other cases works for shut down, but not the reset button. I found another script on another GitHub that now allows the reset button to kick out of said running emulator.

Very quality case but the instructions were not useful at all. Got there in the end inspite

All my friends love this case. They’re so impressed I have a mini N64 emulator running via HDMI on my TV. The case is great, it never overheats the pi and the built-in USB ports in the front are just the cherry on top.

Ordered this case to house a Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB), and there are several concerns I have with it.Installing the heatsink thermal pads, and the heatsink itself were easy. No problems there. Removing the fan plug-cover, and installing the fan. Fiddly but straightforward.The case itself is where I started running into issues. The TLDR is this. The case is WAY too small for a Pi 5 to fit -comfortably- into place without feeling like the board is bending.Plugging in the 10-pin to power/reset cable was a tremendous pain. While I appreciate that they tucked the wires under the PCB I definitely needed a couple more mm of length in order to be able to ensure that the plug was fully seated. Nitpicking here: the instructions could also be clearer about which end of the GPIO pins to plug into (hint: the cable only reaches one-side). The USB plug was also pretty fiddly, and I had to route the wires in a way that felt way too snug to me, but eventually seemed to settle into place.Wanting to properly align the USB-C power, and micro-HDMI ports I put that edge of the board in first, and is held nicely by a tab. After that I had to press uncomfortably hard down onto the rest of the board to even get the screws to make contact. Once I had a couple of threads into each screw I noticed that the screw head for one of the PCB's was actually pushing down on the heatsink. So I removed it. That meant that the heatsink was able to fit a tiny bit better.At this point I am certain that the heatsink is absolutely smashed up against the fan, and the top case was hard to screw together. If the whole case was made to be a bit larger (add a couple of mm height) it would be pretty perfect. I am just hoping that stress over time doesn't destroy my brand new $120 Pi 5.

This is a great case for your Raspberry Pi5. The fit and finish is amazing. I want to get another one, but it was no longer available.
