      Mods said to move my questions to their own post.
      Is there a good case solution for a Pi5 with an M2 SDD Hat?

      I bought a Vilros case and it didn't fit
      488c36d1-c8f7-47cf-8173-c938068f0a0a-1732366739043-361979b6-3191-4920-a063-8796f65d0eb8-image.png

      @capcob suggested the official Pi 5 case, did mean this one?
      82d022c5-f47d-492f-81a5-332f8e7ce5ef-1732366663838-8c687847-4db4-42fe-91b7-724b815c2df2-619rwmpkoql.ac_sl1500.jpg

      It doesn't look big enough, but mentions having expander part, and stacking, which I can't seem to find.
      Specifically
      "HATs can be mounted to the enclosure with stand-offs and GPIO header extenders
      (not included) "

      Thank you!

        Take a look at the Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVME case. I have the simpler one, without the M.2 support and it's very good.

          @Jiryn yes that's the one - here it is with the Active Cooler replacing the one that comes with the case.

          You have to remove the transparent plastic insert that comes with the case and then the lid fits on OK.

            I think I Hardcore derped...

            I've yet to open my HAT, but have built and put the pi in the case shown.. ..
            This is what I had bought for my SSD

            I didn't realize it went beneath the PI.. will that cause any issues?
            I've not bothered doing anything since I am waiting for the PI5 Pre-Made Build
