Pretty impressive
So far pretty impressed with this one - solid, clear instructions, and currently while under stress testing the Pi is showing cooler temps than the previous case ( Argon Poly with the fan ) showed at *idle*. Doesn't just cool the cpu either. The one I have comes with full size HDMI ports, which must be a recent change.Fan control software is only set up to work out of the box under Raspbian or Ubuntu, anything else you'll have to roll your own for ( fortunately you can just dig the actual code out of the install script by the looks of it ) & as it looks like it inserts the fan between the board GPIO and the case GPIO Im not yet sure what effect it'll have on GPIO use in general. Also haven't tested whether the case shields bluetooth to any unworkable extent yet - it's good enough that even if it does I'll probably get an external bluetooth dongle rather than swap case, I've never had much luck with the onboard bluetooth on any Pi version anyway. As this one is going to be a media device & not a lab donkey the bluetooth issue is the only one that matters to me.It *is* expensive. If you've got airflow in the location you're installing the Pi into and no need for any of the features from this ( full size HDMI, the optional M.2 expansion port ) then you might consider a completely passive case, but this one is pretty ideal for me.

Excellent case - the new standard for Pi cases and peripherals.
Easily the best Pi case I've seen or used. The addon board that moves the side slots to the back is incredibly useful and frees up space you usually need for cables coming off two sides.It was very easy to assemble and even comes with a tiny screwdriver for attaching the Pi to the case. Took five minutes to assemble. (Note: if you've added your own heat sinks to the CPU/GPU already, as I had, you'll need to remove them, as the case itself is one big heatsink and mounts directly onto the chips.)The power switch and fan scripts are a godsend, and I really love the magnetic GPIO port cover - it's simple and elegant.I was able to overclock my Pi and the temps on the CPU remain extremely low. The Argon One gets warm but not hot at all, I could easily hold it in my hand even when the CPU is really ticking over.As I'm using an external USB drive, I think I'm going to build a little mounting bracket to hold it to the bottom of the case - I'd love to see Seeed Studio design that sort of addon for it. I suspect these will become the standard to which all Pi cases and peripherals will be judged from here on out.Cannot recommend it highly enough.

One of the best cases you can buy
Had this for some time now these are top quality cases great for keeping PI cool .

Nice case, a bit pricey and maybe overkill for most
Nice case, good quality - I’m only using my Pi4 for low power apps - PiHole/VPN and a bit of programming- probably overkill for me, but it looks nice, solidly built, the hat works nicely exposing GPIO for little projects.

Sleek and stylish
As the title suggests this is the perfect addition to any pi set up. The cool (both meanings: stylish and cold to the touch) case is exactly what I had in mind for my retro gaming set up. It has an easy to assemble set up. If you already have heatsinks in place; remove them from two chips. This build incorporates internal heat sink “towers” that disperse heat into the outer shell (as well as a practically silent fan).There’s also a PCB to easily attach to the Pi to divert the headphone port and micro hdmi(x2) round to the same side as the USB ports. This only adds to the set up i.e. all ports on the same side!! Certainly improves the overall look.Even though you are technically increasing the size of the mini computer; you won’t regret it. My main reason for getting this case was to improve cooling and it’s certainly doing that.

Superb case
Sturdy modern look and love the daughter board moving all the connections to the back and the power button. The full size HDMI sockets are a bonus. My only gripe is that the magnetic GPIO header pin cover doesn't sit well when a cable is plugged in. It came with a soft drawstring bag. Haven't a clue what that's for! I am using for Homeassistant which has its own OS so doesn't look like I can install the software for the fan. Hopefully the fact the whole of the aluminium body is a heat sink will be sufficient.

Utterly awesome!
I have many Raspberry Pi units, and have tried many cases. My favourite to date has been the Seamuing Raspberry Pi Case with Fan (which I would still rate 5 stars as cheaper/more compact than the Argon One and well suited to my installations). BUT NOW ... as my "office" Raspberry Pi case, I am simply astonished at how good this case is. It is so well made, everything "just works", and a proper multi-function power switch (on, soft power down, hard shutdown, reboot), and aligning all the Pi ports along one side of the case rather than two, easy access to the SD card slot ... and I am simply blown away by the GPIO access.I was concerned at the price, relative to other cases for the Pi, but now that I have one I truly appreciate the adage "you get what you you pay for".This review may seem too good to be true, but honestly I haven't felt so good about a technology purchase in many years ... and it's just a case! No, not 'just a case', the best case I have come across by a long way and I must have 10 or more variations.

Keeps Pi4 cool and looks great
This is a super case for Pi4. I have the 8gb model and I wonder if it is even better for a 2 or 4gb - the ram is moved on 8g, but works well on PiOS and Ubuntu 64.With this you can overclock to 2GHz and GPU to 750MHz - just make sure you install software and set fan up.I love that there is now an on/off button - some prefer Pi to boot on power up.The GPIO pins are labelled. WiFi works well - or not impeded by Aluminium case.Great kit.
