Flirc Raspberry Pi Zero Case

I bought this for my Pi Zero2w to replace the standard case as the processor was running at 50 degrees. The inbuilt heat sink appealed to me as well as the looks. The heat sink dropped the core temp by over 10 degrees. Was really easy to put together and components plugged in with no issues.

Best case that I had in years, easy to assemble and use.

These Flirc cases are the business! Beautiful construction not only giving protection to the Raspberry Pi but also providing a superb passive cooling heatsink.The case comes with a couple of thermal pads for the main chips to conduct through to the case body and plastic tops/bottoms held with four screws.I have designed and 3D printed other hat attachments for a Pi-Star based MMDVM using the Flirc case as the base with a cover ontop for the MMDVM board. I have others allowing my Flightaware, WebSDR, Weather Balloon Tracker, Pi-Hole and other Pi's to all keep cool passively without any moving fan parts to wear out and create noise.If you need a case for your Pi Zero, 3 or 4. This *IS* the one you need.

Very easy to use and fit my Pi Zero. Looks good and having the thermal block is great and has helped to keep cooler.

Solid case with excellent cooling characteristics. Pi Zero 2 W fits without issue and runs about 4deg C cooler thanks to the case acting as heatsink.

I have some of the larger Flirc cases (and the IR dongles) so had to try out the baby brother. It's just as nicely made and great to protect your pi on a messy desk like mine. It suggested this could also turn a pi zero into a keyring and I quite like that idea though have not tried myself. I've not found a nicer made case for any of my pis than the Flirc ones and look forward to what they made next.

Note that you can't change the SD card while the Pi is in this case. That may be an issue for some people but in my application it's a bonus.This case is reassuringly solid compared with Raspberry Pi's own case, and the metal does seem to help with cooling. Since I wanted to fit-and-forget the Pi in a confined space, it's just what I needed.

It's as much, if not more expensive than the Raspberry Pi Zero.But the quality is incredible, aluminium surrounding which doubles as a heatsink, and seperate cutouts if you have or don't have the GPIO connected.Unfortunately the only thing I thought could be improved is you can't access the SD card when you screw it all in place. Only the ribbon cable port can be accessed.Great otherwise!
