Excellent build quality and materials selection. No visible defects whatsoever. No sprue remnants, no split lines, nothing. Flawless. 2. Every bit as attractive IRL as in the published images - possibly more so. It's really the finest looking gadget-related accessory I've purchased in recent memory. 3. Very tight (in the sense of exact) dimensional tolerances. All port openings line-up perfectly with the ports on my test device. 4. Functionally, the case cools the CPU as advertised. One could only hope for additional heat-sinking of the other IC's, but it's not clear that it matters in my application. CONs: (Hard to cite any...) 1. Instructions concerning the installation of the heat-transfer pad were lacking. Not a big deal. There seems to be some confusion about whether or not to remove both the paper adhesive-patch cover AND the clear, thin adhesive-patch cover on the other side of the pad. FWIW, I removed both. I do not get the sense that it matters which side contacts the CPU and which side contacts the aluminum heat-sink. In fact, it may be acceptable only to remove the paper backing from one side of the conductive foam and to leave the very thin plastic on the other side, if future disassembly and access to the Pi are expected to be necessary. 2. Instructions on exactly how to pivot the Pi into place would have been helpful, given the precision fit. In my experience, it worked best to assemble the unit by (1) removing the SD card so that it does not protrude, (2) removing the backing from one side of the heat-conductive foam and adhering it to the CPU, followed by removal of the backing from the other side of the foam for mating with the top shell heat sink protrusion, (3) holding the metal case upside-down with USB port cut-outs to the right, lowering the farthest (connectorized) edge of the board into place, permitting the power, HDMI and audio connections to mate with the cut-outs in the aluminum case, (4) pivoting the board into its final position lowering the nearest edge gently onto the screw mounts, (5) placing the bottom plastic cover into place, (6) screwing the bottom shell, Pi and top shell together with the four included screws and finally (7) re-inserting the SD card. For me, attempting to insert the Pi3 by other strategy resulted in it binding into an incorrect position and almost refusing to yield for re-positioning. Alternative to my method might be the attachment of the conductive foam to the interior protrusion from the top aluminum cover, if preferred. I haven't tried it. Pleased with the thermal performance, ruggedness and aesthetics, I have purchased two of these cases so far, and I plan to purchase several more of them for use in my application. Review: High Quality Case and Excellent Product Support - I'm writing this for an all encompassing view on my ordering and thought process. I have seen this case before when considering cases for my Raspberry Pi 3 and 3B+, but never had the chance to check one out until recently. Like many others have mentioned, it is well built and has an inner portion of the case that acts as a heatsink that spreads the heat evenly throughout the entire case. I wasn't sure how to place the Pi 3B+ inside at first, but I found a video that suggested you place the board with the HDMI port first, then lay down the other side naturally to get the correct alignment and fit. The included thermal pad seemed to stick and work to hold the Pi in place as I reached for the screws, but I was a bit surprised to see that the included hardware did not fit properly. They would not screw in all the way and I did not want to use excessive force to try to get the screws in: they simply would not go in. Others have been reviewing and reporting the same thing, but do NOT let this stop you from getting this case. I reached out to customer service and was quickly helped by Jason, a representative from Flirc. After describing the issue, he informed me that it was a "tolerance mismatch" and that replacement screws would be on the way. After a little delay in the mail (out of our control), the screws arrived and I was curious to try them as they looked similar to the included hardware. They fit perfectly and screwed in smoothly and precisely. At first, I was concerned looking at the bottom black plate that is under the main body of the case as it sat lop-sided a bit without any hardware. But, after thinking about it, I realized that it must be like this on purpose to compensate for the board once it's inside. After screwing down 3 screws, it was still not sitting level but the fourth screw did the trick with a satisfying clamping action and leveling of the case. The end result is a beautifully crafted piece of hardware that looks great and has a good weight to it in the hand. If some reviews of the screws not fitting properly are detracting you from purchasing this case, do not let this stop you. Reach out to them and they will reach out to you to make it right. I highly appreciate the level of support from Jason from Flirc. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was up and running with the correct parts. Moving forward, I will definitely look to replacing my current set of Pi cases in favor of this Flirc case.

If using a Raspberry Pi 3 (Not the 3 B+) then what I did on mine was using a copper shim of 1mm and applied arctic silver thermal adhesive between the copper shim and the Flirc case, after fully dried then apply thermal paste between the now permanently glued in shim in the case and the Raspberry Pi 3 cpu. On both cases, it was the perfect solution to achieve the maximum overclock that the chip can without overheating and using a passive heatsink solution (no fans). **Q: Can you see the leds now for the pi 3?** A: Yes, but they are blocked if you are using any generation before. It was too difficult to support both, and most users are buying pi 3's now. **Q: There are 2 chips on the Pi that seem to need heat sinking. This case only sinks one? Is the 2nd chip not heat sinked?** A: Only the CPU, and it's arguable if the other chip needs a heat sink, really depends on your room temperature, never had a problem with any of mine. **Q: Whenever i touch the siding of this case when the device is powered on, i get shocked and my raspberry pi 3 resets. what can i do?** A: I have not this behaviour on my Flirc case... My you check the screws, which leads through the board. Have you also inserted the cooling pad? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, Solid, Functional. *by D***L on March 3, 2018* PROs: (Basically everything...) 1.

It looks quite good, and acts as a passive heat sink for the processor. I run LibreElec on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, and connect to video, music, and image shares on my home network. As a result, when in use the Raspberry Pi works quite hard. Previously, I used only the small heat sinks that came with the kit. Every now and again I would get the "Overheat" icon. Since installing the RPi into this case, I haven't seen that icon. I can tell that the case is working because it gets warmer than if it isn't turned on. I periodically check the temperature in "Settings/System Information/Hardware". At idle, the RPi 3 B+ runs 106F (41.1C). The highest I've seen is about 130F (54.4C). With the standard case and heatsinks, it would occasionally get to about 170F (76.6C), and would throttle down the processor. PROS: + Good looking case, looks quite commercial/professional. + Works very well to control temperature of the processor (see the 1337Ninja review of this item). This case uses passive cooling (silent) as opposed to active cooling (potentially noisy fans). + Reasonably easy assembly (see CONS below) + Reasonable cost. + Excellent access to all ports/connections (but see CONS below) CONS: - The case assembles around a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B quite well, and you are able to use the included thermal pad to maintain contact between the heat sink pillar on the case and the processor on the board. HOWEVER, you CANNOT use the pad with a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. The pad is too thick. The pillar seems to be the right length to use a thick consistency thermal paste INSTEAD OF the pad to make good contact with the processor on the RPi 3 B+. That's what I did, and so far it seems to work just fine. - Difficult to see the status LEDS on the mainboard. However, if you are so inclined, it is possible to carefully file away some of the case in front of the LEDS so you can see them. See the attached photo. - The GoBeavers review mentions that it isn't possible to fit standard 40 pin cable connectors to the GPIO bus on the board. It's true. I too tried just to see if it would work. For my purposes, it doesn't matter since I won't be connecting to the GPIO with my LibreElec system. I don't think this case would be a good choice for those who plan on using their systems for breadboarding. That being said, with a little hand work, it should be possible to fit a standard 40 pin cable connector and cable to RPi3s mounted in this case. SYNOPSIS: The CONS seem to overwhelm the PROS, but they are very minor compared to the benefits of this case. This is a good looking, well designed case for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B(+) series boards. It does all that is claimed, but has some very small, easily correctable issues. I have several other RPi3s and will purchase these cases for those RPi3s that aren't used for breadboarding. One huge benefit for me is the silence of the system when in use. There are no fans at all, hence no noise. I highly recommend this case. ## Frequently Bought Together - Flirc Raspberry Pi 3 Case - CanaKit 5V 2.5A Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Power Supply/Adapter (UL Listed) - New Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Board (3B+) Raspberry PI 3B+ (1GB) (3B Plus) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://bahrain.desertcart.com/products/44320577-raspberry-pi-3b-case](https://bahrain.desertcart.com/products/44320577-raspberry-pi-3b-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bahrain* *Store origin: BH* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
