Flirc Raspberry Pi 4 Case Security Cover

A well made, nice feeling case. All cables can connect properly to the pi with this case. Very happy indeed,

Case looks lovely but is only partially compatible with my raspberry pi 4 model b. Continually fails to boot pi os 32 or 64 bit correctly when Wi-Fi enabled. Works fine with Wi-Fi disabled or case not used. If I boot without Wi-Fi and then try to enable in the pi desktop it instantly crashes and attempts a reboot failing multiple times. Oddly If I boot from SSD then there are no issues.The edge of the metal casing is very close to and runs parallel to the antenna which is situated next to the micro USB socket. Maybe the metal casing is just too close? I liked the idea of passive cooling and no fan but i don’t like the Wi-Fi being compromised so I will be returning this product.

I have had a regular case with a pi3 enclosed in it for absolutely ages as a media player. When my SD card gave up the ghost I decided to upgrade to a pi4 and managed to snag a pi4/8 a while back. Finally got round to putting it together and the final touch was a new flirc case. However when I cracked the case open there is a large circular divet on the top of the heat sink. The heat pad spreader will hopefully fill that in but it is annoying as I will be suspicious of any throttling that occurs. Will see how it goes.
