Testing new Raspberry Pi 5 Cases - $7 to $79
Since the Pi 5's launch, a number of Pi case redesigns have launched, and there are a few new entrants with something to offer. Like Fractal's 'Baby North'... which, unfortunately, is only a prototype designed for their displays at Computex, and is not being planned for sale. At least not for now! I'll write more about this case later in this post.
The Pi 5's thermals are close enough to the Pi 4 that old cooling solutions work okay, but the port layout and inclusion of a power button means at least minimal redesigns are necessary.
Here are a few of the Pi 5 cases I've been testing (most for over a month, in various places), and my thoughts on each.
Raspberry Pi 5 Case (official)
The official case for the Raspberry Pi 5 is like a saltine cracker.
