Freenove Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 B, Protective Case, Adjustable Speed Cooling Fan, 32 GB SD Card, 3A Power Supply with Built-in Switch

This is a great support kit for the Pi4, a bit fiddly to assemble but all works very well. The value for money varies with the price, when I bought it with a Pi4 2Gb the whole was under £50, but can go up by £10 on that when not such good value. The fan does its job well, just turn it right down, and the on/off switch is a great addition.

Positives:Case is in six parts, and takes a little bit of construction. Kit includes all items required, posts, screws, and nuts, to complete this, plenty of space to access the memory card slot on the underside. Transparent acrylic allows you to see the red and green LEDs of the Pi board.Fan and switch board seem solidly made, and the included fan is very quiet, and reacts well to the variable speed settings.Power, power plug, and power daisy chain cable to run fan and switch board as well as Pi are all include.Samsung 32 GB microsd card appears to be the genuine thing. 13MB/s transfer speed achieved when installing Pi OS.Full guide to help assemble the kit and get started with your Pi are available online.Negatives:The included MicroSD card adapter with my set would not function properly with my Windows 8.1 machine. Two alternative adapters I have already worked fine with the SD card, so possibly just my bad luck.If you intend to purchase additional hardware boards for your Pi (HATS), you may want to avoid this kit, until you have the hardware, and buy something which better fits your needs.Overall, despite my niggles, a great addition to a new Pi users ownership. Please do not let my experience with the card adapter put you off this great kit.

Received a Raspberry Pi4 for christmas (just the board) and needed several bits to get it up and running , this provided all of them (I'm typing this review from the browser on the Pi)It's a bit fiddly , but if I,as a fat fingered 50+ year old can do it most people should be able to.I love the fact that the way it is built means that you effectively have a power on/off button rather that having to actually unplug the power or switch it off at the mains .I was so impressed that I subsequently ordered a starter Pi/electronics kit from the same firm .

Good kit, but should be cheaper. If you get it on a deal max of 15 quid, then ok. The Acrylic case feels like a 3D printer one, the cuts are not even, but it's ok.

A little bit "fiddly" to assemble, but the end result it excellent. The variable speed cooling fan is a fantastic innovation, and after-sales service was above and beyond expectation. Cannot recommend highly enough. Overall a truly great purchase experience.

The case is fragile and difficult to assemble.

The case is quite flimsy to put together and requires patience as it is a bit long, but the tutorial steps are well put together and easy to follow.The fan is actually quite loud and I don't think the fan speed adjustment actually does anything, seem to be only a single setting. It would of been nice to adjust the man programmatically. With the fan off it hits around 53c and with the fan the CPU is around 32c. Over its a decent case and good amount of kit.

Even on the lowest setting the fan is loud. Also the case is in lots of tiny parts with very annoying paper stuck on that you have to remove.
