X1202-C1 Metal Case

Neat pi case. Well made and easy to setup.

Okay this looks cool when you see it. It is segmented into many parts and it is very annoying. The case has an option for a lower UPS that uses batteries that are specific and NOT included. Specifically the type that do not have a bottom on top. It also offers a hat that can be one or two NvME slots, then it has a momentary additional pushbutton that is difficult to find on their site. It would be much better in kits that have the parts you need and then separately the items that could be changed or added at a later time. Overall this is not a product I would recommend nor will I use again. I can find a use, but it was a very poor experience.

Looks and fits nice. Came with the necessary hardware. Some improvements; it makes the SD card impossible to remove. It's more of a pi5 issue as the SD card slot doesn't pop out. Now it's flush with the case and the entire thing will have to be disassembled to remove the SD card. The cover is not on the same side as the batteries. This means should you ever have to replace the batteries, once again completely disassemble. Though the ad is clear, it doesn't include the $2 case switch. It should be included since the gaping hole has already been cut. If not, leave it like an electrical box where we can remove it if we want the switch.
