Raspberry Pi 5 Secure Case (Fits 8Gb and 4Gb)
RPi 5 Secure Case - Aluminum Case CNC Manufactured to fit your Raspberry Pi 5
The SECURE Case closes off public access to the critical I/O ports of the board. This protects the RPi 5 from manual restarts or physical interruptions and is intended for use with business integrations.
- Closes off access to the GPIO pins, SD card, and Power/Reset Switch.
- Fits both 8Gb and 4Gb versions
-
Direct Thermal Heat Transfer and Dissipation throughout the entire Case
- Pulls heat from all 5 of the main IC's on the board (CPU, RAM, RP1, PMIC Power Regulator, and Ethernet Transceiver)
- Includes Thermal Grease, 4 screws, 4 rubber feet, and 1 Allen wrench
- LED light pipe through to the top of the case for easy viewing
- Side ports are fully accessible. USB's, RJ45, Power cable, and HDMI's
- Closes off the GPIO pins. They are secured inside the case
- Closes off the SD card. It is secured inside the case
- Closes off the Power/Reset Switch. They are secured inside the case
- Totally Silent
- Strong - Aluminum keeps your Raspberry Pi 5 protected
A direct thermal transfer of all 5 IC's allows this case to cool your Raspberry Pi 5 like no other! Other cases will only pull heat from the CPU and don't bother with the other 4 heat generating chips.
This case is the result of over 10 years of my research and development in Cooling Case Design for Small Board Computers. Starting with the original Raspberry Pi in 2013, I've developed a silent, customizable, Aluminum Case for every major release of the Raspberry Pi board. This is the newest release for the Raspberry Pi 5, and by far the BEST one yet.
CNC Manufactured in the USA with very tight tolerances here at Barch Designs, this case fits AMAZING. There are 5 internal pillars that come down to touch the main IC's of the Raspberry Pi 5 board allowing the heat generated to be pulled quickly away and dissipated throughout the entire case keeping your board running smooth and cool.
This case fits the 8Gb, and 4Gb versions of the Raspberry Pi 5 board. The light from the board's LED is pulled to the surface through a light pipe for easy viewing. The GPIO and SD card are closed off and secured inside the case. All side ports are accessible when the case is fully assembled. Four rubber feet are included to help with air flow around the case.
The case comes with clear plastic and neoprene inserts to protect and support the Raspberry Pi when putting the case together. These ensure that the board is supported under the IC's when the pillars make contact. Another upgrade this year are rear positive stops for the PCB to set the board exactly where it needs to be for the pillars to maintain proper contact with the IC's.

Please note that if WiFi signal is crucial to your project, I recommend using an external USB WiFi dongle as radio signal strength of the on board WiFi is reduced inside the case. However, this can be a desired trait for those wishing to reduce overall interference from the RPi board to nearby peripherals such as HAM radios.
