The Cyntech housing is characterized in that the Raspberry Pi is stable and clean packaged and yet there is a possibility of the connections of the board to gelagen.Besonders well like this, that all connections are clean and accessible many of the connections before first use by Plastic covered and remain protected so that, if you do not necessarily need.
In my case, the Raspberry Pi is a small web server which is why I need the Lan port and second USB port. Accordingly, was swiftly removed this cover with jiggle slightly back and forth. Furthermore allows the housing through a narrow slit access to refer to the GPIOs. For this, a ribbon cable is best suited since it is otherwise difficult hinauszufädeln several jumpers.
The SD card of the Raspberry Pi sits neatly in Hub, which is positive to note that in some other cases it may happen that the SD card is deformed by the spring force of the contacts on the board, which may result in malfunction. This I could not observe in this case.
As it is in most cases also in this case, the SD card.
Important details are I would like to point out that the housing Lichtfänger has the status LEDs, which is why the status lights are displayed perfectly. A big plus for me, as I like to orient myself on this, to determine whether it is running the Raspi clean.
The fixation of the housing works by four screws which must be tightened at the bottom. This argues against a rapid opening of the case in order for example to work with GPIOs, but you can see the screws for such work also at times be resolved and simply stuck to each other, the two halves. This should work for those more than rich, otherwise you should deliberately get a housing can be opened quickly. For this purpose I, the acrylic casing of Vullers Tech recommend (but this has for the disadvantage that the clip connections like break after repeated use, because the acrylic glass, the stresses not indefinitely withstand)
The housing of Cyntech can be well fixed by two screws on a surface, it is ensured that the screws do not get contact with the board.
All in all a solid case, which I can happily recommend. The only thing that might be more desirable would be an optimized ventilation of the housing option because it requires no holes o. Ä. are given. In addition, it would be convenient if the SD card could be justified plugged to the housing (not overlooking) and when the case is already closed with screws, would rubber feet or similar practical to prevent possible scratches on the surface, on which the case is filed.
Accordingly, a solid four star rating with some room for improvement, but for this price you can get the casing like. Satisfied we will therefore quite safe.
