Discover the perfect case for your Raspberry Pi 5. FLIRC has made the power button accessible and improved it with LED support. Enjoy the familiar aluminium core heatsink you've come to love, nestled between two matte black soft-touch panels. Customised to fit into your entertainment system. Built-in Heat Sink This is the first affordable Raspberry Pi case made from aluminium. FLIRC wanted to ensure that form didn't take precedence over function, so they used the aluminium body of the case as a built-in heat sink. Included with the case is a thermal pad and 4 screws for easy assembly. Stability and Access FLIRC has built in rubber feet to elevate the case so that it simply floats under your TV. In addition to the built-in heatsink, small ventilation slots on the bottom ensure that the Raspberry Pi stays cool. The GPIO pins are accessible via the slot at the bottom of the case, and the SD card does not need to be disassembled to reach them. Power Button and LED Support The power button of the Raspberry Pi 5 is natively supported by the FLIRC housing. The activity LEDs are also clearly visible.
