Interesting Approach and good looking
The case is very good looking. The fans actually do n't blow on the Pi chips. They are thermally attached to the case to and the fans blow air across the case fins. They seem to work, but I will test them later. I marked this a 4 star because I had difficulty getting the case halves to properly seat on the Raspberry Pi. Also 4 of the screws were very hard to tighten no matter where I tried to use them. I eventually discarded them in favor the screws that came with the fan cages I purchased. If you sell a case with fan(s) why don't you include the fan cage. I also didn't like the power connector which is a molded two pin unit. I makes it impossible to run the fans off the 3.3v power pins (the 3.3v pins are not next to a gnd pin like the 5v is).

Can be hacked to fit a Raspberry Pi 3b, but its LOUD.
I bought this without noticing that it was for the 4 instead of the 3b, amazon search failed me again. I used a dremel, hacksaw and a file to get the case to fit on my 3b. It took about two hours. I also had to hack away the fins on a basic heatsink so that i could use it as a spacer between the processor and the heatsink case. I really don't like that these cases are designed to be used with garbage thermal pads. if I did the mod again I'd grind down the corners where the screws thread in to bring the heat sink into contact with the processor.This cooler is so G-d loud. if they had shipped it with separated wires, I'd put the V+ on the 3.3v pin in in the GPIO. it is obnoxiously loud. I'm glad I have it in a closet where I don't have to hear all the time.

works good had to be modified for pi3+ to fit propperly all in all keeps it really cool
was good but for my pi 3+ i had to dremel the aluminum to make it fit for ethernet port and sound port and hdmi ... i got it to fit and the fans work good it does keep my pi cooler then before so it was worth the tinkering all in all its a good quality item ... the paint on the item i think is of good quality so i shouldnt have to worry about static stuff on this specific make of case

Cant access POE pins
While it is a very nice case with good heat dissipation and quiet fans, the opening for the POE headers is completely insufficient. A standard 4-pin female header will not fit in the opening so this case eliminates one of the features of the newer pies.

Quietest fan I ever did not hear.
Not sure how I feel about the amount the pi is exposed in this "case".But I wanted a new fan. This has 2 fans. Double the protection in a failure of 1.The fan is SUPER QUIET..........!

Amazing case!
Well built, badass looking, great protection for chips/ports, and the GPIO's are so easy to reach and connect.Ofc, the main function is the disipation of heat, and my stats (Using an RPi2B are a consistent 35°C - 38°C range (nornal use, not heavy processes like live streaming or compiling)Do not hesitate to buy this case.

Seems to keep device cool, but its loud.
easy to assemble, feels like good construction.it's loud, not like jet engine loud, but sounds like the fan is already full of dust.

Noisy
Went to together easy enough and you can pick up the Pi and feel the heat on the metal casing, but after 1 day of use one of the fans started screaming. It does keep the temp down but now I have to replace a fan, that is if I can find a replacement!
