Good solid case

Overall seems like a great case and a quality build. It was meant to use it for Radxa 5b plus since I believed the form factor remained the same. Some ports have been reshuffled though so you won't have access to front USB-C (frame has mini HDMI cut) and SD card if you have the 5b+ board. Other than that which is not KKSB's fault but my oversight, the case feels sturdy, well beilt and there is a passive heatsink included. Only two down-sides are that you can't access bottom M2 slots easily since you have to disassemble the whole thing. Also the buttons (power and restart) are simple cuts in the frame located a bit further from the board buttons and need force pressing. Could be a bit more haptic friendly with some quick fitting plastic add-ons. In any case I used the two rubber drop-shapped stickers that came along in order to gap the space between the metal sheet and the actual button on the board and works great for the time being.

KKSB ROCK 5B Case with Heatsink review

I really like KKSB ROCK 5B Case with Heatsink. There are however 2 concerns, I'd like to address. The first one is regarding the passive heatsink, which seems to be just adequate. However, a larger passive cooler with wider dissipation area might work even better. My second concern is regarding the inaccessibility of NVMe SSD slot after you put the whole case together. There is simply no other way but to dismantle the whole case if you want to change NVMe SSD.

GOOD!

GOOD!

Best available right now, but could be better

I think your case is decent, but honestly, I'd love to pay more and get something like FriendlyARM does for their devices like NanoPC T6 or NanoPi R6C. It's a solid block of aluminium(I think?) that's machined. Looks great, works great, very solid. In comparison your thing makes me worry about dust and moisture getting into the device.

I don't know if you have the capability to do machined cases, but I would certainly be interested in buying one(and maybe more) like that.

Great case

Works as intended with low tempratures
