        mighty tempted to buy one of these i do like that they kept 2 of the pis onboard usb ports accessable as i use a pi drive and had to mod in a rear usb port to keep the cables tidy that being said still happy with my nespi case might purchace on my next payday make myself a collection of mini's

        personally im glad they did a jap/eu model not trying insulting you yanks but ive always found the us model to be absolutly hideous :P

          i would love to get one, but i dont want the controller. they should have one with just the case to make the price point a little lower.

          dont want something i will not use.

            Is there any way to buy this case outside of Amazon? Or is this Amazon exclusive?
            I want to pay via PayPal and Amazon does not accept PP.

            I'm like you, prefer to use PayPal, FYI, it's available via eBay, I ordered one a couple of days ago, should arrive early next week.

            Unfortunately, though I don't think it'll fit my existing 3b+ with the dual fan/heatsink so might have to swap that out.

                Just found out about this. Nice, so now I have to figure out if I want to buy a case like this, butcher my little borther's PSone that he doesn't want any more, or build something out of LEGO. decisions, decisions, decisions.

                  I created a video review of the SuperPi Case in Dec. (Unbox, Assembly, install shutdown script, test a few games, etc.) It's a pretty awesome case if you prefer the SNES style controllers!

                    @ExarKunIv They do have one without any controllers.

                      I love these cases. I have a Superpi (SNES) case for my RPi 3b+ and a Nespi Case+ for my daughter's RPi 1b+. They have made shutting down the systems so much simpler and they have made my retropie setup look so much cleaner and organized. I am seriously considering buying the MegaPi (MegaDrive) case and setting it up with 8bitdo M30 (six button Sega Genesis) controllers.

                      MegaPi:

                          i have a megapi case and can definitly reccomend it somthing to keep in mind before you splash out cash for a setup with one is when it comes to cooling the pi is mounted upside down in the case and unless you have a really low profile heatsink trying to fit a fan isnt possible as it will hit the heatsink when fitting....my friend found that one out the hard way :P

                          personally i think you can get away without a fan as my setup does not have one and ive yet to recieve any thermal throttling/heat warnings and i use my system for all sorts of things and it certanly didnt complain when it was compiling code for almost 2 hours non stop
