I got this along with a screen off vine. Unfortunately when I got the case I didn't realize the screen was an 8" instead of 7. From what I could see the case would work pretty well with a 7" touch screen. Everything looks like it would line up nicely on the RPi and would clear a screen. Screen would be wide open without the case interfering

This is a good case and after putting my Pi display in it I like it even more. It's a great all in 1 solution if that's what you are in the market for. My only real issue was that the directions to put everything together was not laid out well so I'm not impressed with that. Took some trial and error and just plain guessing. Either way, it's done now and everything seems well.

It is very well made and everything fits very well. My only complaint is it that it does not provide any means of leaning it back so that the screen is more easily visible. That should be included. I had to rate it down a star for that.

Build/Teardown/Rebuild is a pain, especially as the very first instruction is the part that forces the orientation of the case around the Raspberry Pi Touch Screen. Precisely as shown, the screen will be oriented so that the top is where the USB and Ethernet ports are. If you are fine with this, great! Keep in mind that the built-in switch will then be on the bottom (don’t try to just set the screen on its bottom and use the device if the switch is installed). Anyway, one direction is the USB/Ethernet ports, the other is the switch. If looking at this, also find some sort of stand for it (vesa, tablet, etc).
I don't work with raspberry pi computers, but I have friends who do and I thought I'd see what they could do with this. It seems to work well and has a nice look to it. The ports all do what they are supposed to, and for the price I think it both does a great job and does so in a very clean package.

Well Thought Out Pi5 Case
This case allows you to create an all in wonder Pi box. The case was well thought out with openings and labeling for inputs and outputs. It came with tweezers and screws to mount your board and the ribbon cable for the screen. Speaking of which, it wants you to mount the board directly on a metal sheet. Hmmm. I am not sure about that. I am accustomed to using slight plastic spacers. The jury is out on that.
You will also need a Raspberry Pi 7″ touchscreen, purchased separately, to complete this build. Of course that is in addition to the Pi5. All in, this setup will cost around $200 which is not bad. The case even has mounts on the back so you can hang it on a wall. You will still have a power cord dangling but it is a neat option.
Maybe I'm missing a piece, but mounting the Pi board directly on the metal frame seems wrong...
As mentioned in my headline — the instructions told me to mount the Pi PC board directly onto a metal sheet, and the Pi board came with many, many warnings about exactly that, because of the danger of shorting the leads on the bottom of the board. Maybe there was supposed to be a plastic piece and it was missing from my kit, but the instructions didn’t mention it.
Speaking of which — this really is just a case, as the description makes clear, but all the photos do not. All the photos (except for the one that shows the on/off switch) show components that are NOT part of this kit. No display, no fan, etc.
I do like the on/off switch — most cases don’t bother with one, but just leave a hole in the case that you need to poke at with a toothpick or something similar. That’s a nice feature.
Overall, good quality case. Everything fits and feels solid, it looks nice, and the ports light up correctly, etc. But the idea of bolting the PC board right on to a metal plate makes me anxious!
The aluminium case designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 and the official 7″ touchscreen is a commendable product that marries form with function. It does not include the Raspberry Pi 5 or the touchscreen, which is clear from the product listing and price point. However, it stands out as a well-crafted housing that not only enhances the aesthetics of your setup but also contributes to heat dissipation—a crucial factor for the high-performing yet notably warm Raspberry Pi 5.
Pros:
Sturdy Construction: The case is solid and well-made, providing a sleek and professional look.
Heat Management: Aluminium build aids in cooling the Raspberry Pi 5, which is beneficial given its tendency to run hot.
Perfect Fit: Accommodates the Pi and touchscreen seamlessly, with precise cutouts for easy access to ports and components.
Expandability: There’s ample space for additional hardware, such as the official active cooler and SSD add-ons, which can leverage the Pi 5’s PCIe slot for enhanced performance.
Cons:
HDMI Port Access: A minor design oversight is the tight space around the HDMI ports, which may lead to cable disconnection issues.
Conclusion: For enthusiasts looking to create a mini “all-in-one” system with a Raspberry Pi 5 and the official 7″ touchscreen, this case is an excellent choice. Despite the slight HDMI port issue, its benefits far outweigh this inconvenience, especially for those utilizing the touchscreen functionality. It’s a product that promises to elevate your Raspberry Pi experience.
Good space
I purchased this item for my Rasp berry pi, and it have enough space for a HAT I purchased and a battery.
There is a little inconvenience with the space between the HDMI ports of the board, and the case, it is less than an inch, but it can make the HDMI port to disconnect if you use cable.
Besides that, since I am using the touch screen, it works really good.
Ne ho provati decine e decine di case e nessuno mi aveva mai lasciato soddisfatto, aveva sempre quella piccola imperfezione che mi dava fastidio. Poi girando tra le inserzioni ho visto questo che faceva al caso mio rendendo, dalle foto, il Raspberry come un piccolo PC con monitor annesso.
Quando l’ho ricevuto non ho trovato (colpa mia) il manuale di istruzioni e cos mi sono cimentato nel montaggio guardando le foto nell’inserzione: il risultato a dir poco strabiliante, tutti i pezzi combaciano alla perfezione, lo spazio per il dissipatore presente e il monitor si adagia perfettamente nel suo alloggiamento. La chicca il pulsante di accensione, davvero molto comodo.
Ovviamente tutto in metallo.
Consigliarlo? Sicuramente al mille percento.
Ricomprarlo per un altro Raspberry? Senza nemmeno pensarci due volte
The first thing to note is that this does NOT come with either the Raspberry Pi 5 nor the touchscreen – that should be fairly obvious from the listing and price, but it’s worth saying anyhow to set the right expectations.
With that out of the way, what this IS is a really nice and well-thought out case for the Raspberry Pi 5 and the official 7″ touchscreen. It’s well-made out of aluminium (which will also help with heat disipation, which is important for the Pi 5 as it’s the best performing Pi yet but also the hottest by far) and when put together is quite a solid piece that just looks great and works great. You can easily fit the Pi and touchscreen in and all the cutouts match just like they should – you also have room for the official active cooler (which is highly recommended in general) and other hardware too – I’ll be working on fitting one of the SSD add-ons inside for my next project as with the PCIe exposed on the Pi 5 for the first time, you really get a speed boost using an SSD.
So if you’re looking for a great way to make your own mini “all-in-one” with a Raspberry Pi 5 and the official 7″ touchscreen as a package this is a GREAT way to do just that. Give it a try today!
This is well-made. The edges are all smooth. Bends are all folded cleanly and accurately. Cut-outs are all clean. They put effort into getting this right, so your final machine is going to look nice in this case. I wish I had one of these that fit an Orange Pi 5 instead. You get far more capability, for the money, with an Orange Pi, but the port layout is different, so the port cut-outs won't line up in this case. I think I'll look for an Orange Pi 5 case instead. Enjoy.
