GeeekPi GPIO Screw Terminal Block Breakout Board HAT with Case for Raspberry Pi 4B Only

I have still yet to find a case for a Raspi 4 that has a gpio breakout with enough room to include a fan. But this is very well thought out and made. My complements to the engineer that designed this one.

The case cannot be well closed after the raspberry pi was installed. Screws can only be inserted at one end then on the other end the shell collides with the Pi.

Unfortunately, whoever assembled the case, completely disregarded the fact that screws are different from nails! One side with four screws was fine, the other had screws nailed in. As a result, it was near impossible to take the case apart to place the board inside. I had to use a number of tools and eventually bent the case, and broke the screwdriver, but was able to put everything together. Unfortunately, I had to push the screws in, since the case had the threads stripped by now. What was supposed to take 5 minutes, took a good 40.I dread taking it apart now. Disappointing ...

#1 complaint: Paint in the threaded holes. The eight screws that hold the two pieces of the case together came installed. They were almost impossible to remove (paint acted like locktite). The four holes that are used to hold your Raspberry Pi board were full of paint. I broke three of the four brass standoffs trying to carefully install them.#2 complaint: No rubber feet for the case.#3 complaint: Assembled case interferes with Wifi.Currently testing with the case top off, one fully attached standoff, three standoffs attached to the breakout board only.Not what I expected for the price...Edited ** The seller has offered and given me a full refund.

Low quality machining. Hole don't line up. Screws don't fit right. LEDs light up really weird

The concept of having terminal access to the GPIO and also having LEDs to display the GPIO status is cool, the the mechanical layout of the metal case was just enough off that the video connector doesn't engage far enough for its pins to connect firmly. The result is that the video display is intermittent or non-functional. My solution was to take an exacto blade and carefully trim some of the plastic molding away from the shielding so that the shielding can be inserted further into the connector. (SEE THE PHOTO OF MY MODIFIED CABLE)

I go this device to monitor the IO lines but the device does not have any labels stating what LED goes to what pin. There is no user manual and nothing online. It is useless for my application unless I want to trace everything back to the Raspberry Pi and make my own LED pinout.

Good case, but I couldn't loosen one of the screws from when it was shipped. I ended up striping the screw and having to break out a dremel to cut the metal case and screw to get it open. Not pretty, but now it is functional with a pi inside.
