Which KKSB Case Fits Your Raspberry Pi 5? A Buyer's Guide
The right Raspberry Pi 5 case depends on what you put on top of the board. A bare Pi 5 needs a much lower case than a Pi with an NVMe SSD or two stacked HATs. This guide sorts the KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 cases by build, so you can pick the one that fits.
Bare Raspberry Pi 5, no HAT
- KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case Aluminium Black: a compact sandblasted aluminium case with room for the official Active Cooler, an integrated power button and GPIO pin labels etched on the lid.
- KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case with Aluminium Heatsink: for a silent build. The large heatsink cools the board passively through thermal pads, so there is no fan.
Raspberry Pi 5 with the M.2 HAT+ and an NVMe SSD
- KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5 and M.2 NVMe HAT: made for the official Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ and HATs with a similar form factor. HATs with side-facing connectors are not supported.
- KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 HAT Case: fits the M.2 HAT+, the Raspberry Pi AI Kit and many NVMe HATs.
- KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 M.2 Industrial Case: a powder-coated steel case with VESA 75 mounting and DIN rail mounting with the KKSB DIN Rail Clip (sold separately).
All three leave room for the official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler. A 40-pin stackable header is included so air can still flow between the cooler and the HAT.
Raspberry Pi 5 with HATs and add-on boards
- KKSB Raspberry Pi 5 Case with Space for HATs, Add-on Boards, Cooler and NVMe HATs: fits most HATs and NVMe HATs, with 18 mm and 20 mm spacers for long and short GPIO headers and a removable top.
- KKSB HAT Case for Raspberry Pi 5: a black anodized aluminium case for most standard HATs and NVMe HATs.
- KKSB Tall Aluminium Case for Dual HATs and NVMe HATs: the choice for two stacked HATs, with a clear polycarbonate side and a removable top.
Raspberry Pi 5 with an audio HAT
- KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi DAC+ and DAC Pro: with cutouts for the RCA and headphone outputs.
- KKSB Case for Raspberry Pi 5 and DigiAMP+: with cutouts for the speaker terminals and the DC power jack.
Raspberry Pi 5 with a touch display
For the official Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 in 7-inch and 5-inch sizes, see the display cases and stands. They come as desktop stands, adjustable stands and panel-mount housings.
Mounting options
Several cases have pre-cut holes for the KKSB DIN Rail Mount Clip, the KKSB Camera Holder or a tripod bracket. Each product page lists which accessories fit under “Mounting”. For server racks, the rack-mount panels for Raspberry Pi hold several boards in a 10-inch or 19-inch rack.
