The best balance of all factors for choosing a case for your Raspberry Pi.
Brought my Temp down by 10°C-12°C
This Argon Neo case is the best balance of all. It is refined and professional looking, while still offering access to the GPIO and camera ports. It looks like a finished product, not a project.
I've had the CanaKit case, the "Official Raspberry Pi Case", the Argon One and the Flirc - all for Raspberry Pi 3 B+'s. All those cases have there pluses and minuses. (And I'd be fine to use any of them)
See below:
-Canakit - Cheap, good airflow, well made and allows access to GPIO and ports - a little cheesy looking though with the Raspberry Pi logo cut out of the lid
-The "Official RPI Case" by Adafruit - same as above but much nicer looking - although the new ones for RPI 4 seem to only come in pink/white (yuk) - My only real dislike of this case is that the top is curved so you can't stack them (if that even matters)
- Flirc - Awesome build quality and similar to Argon Neo for cooling - more work to get to GPIO (4 screws) but has a slot that you can route a ribbon cable through. - I consider this case best for when you know exactly what the RPI's purpose is and you don't need to get inside anymore. (It's silver - I personally prefer the Neo's charcoal)
- Argon One - The best if you are using your RPI as a desktop computer or game console - has the best cooling in the form of the case being a heatsink as well as having a fan. The Argon One also has the benefit of a little add-on board the moves all connections to the rear of the case - this is both a cleaner look as well as reducing wear to the plugs on the RPI itself. The Argon One also gives you a power button on the back so you don't need to be always plugging and unplugging power. The only potential drawback to the Argon One is that it is near twice the size of the other cases, but that shouldn't matter if you're using it as intended.
