Frequently Asked Questions

Which Raspberry Pi models does the JBtek Jet Black case fit?

It is designed for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Raspberry Pi Model B+. Newer boards such as the Pi 4 and Pi 5 are not listed as compatible.

Does the case come with a Raspberry Pi?

No. The listing says the Raspberry Pi is not included, so you get only the enclosure and need to supply your own board.

Do I need screws or tools to assemble it?

No. It is a two-piece injection-moulded ABS enclosure that snaps together around the board, so you don't need tools.

Can I still plug in USB controllers and an Ethernet cable with the case closed?

Yes. The case gives full access to the USB ports, the Ethernet jack and the side ports, so controllers, a keyboard, network and power connect while the Pi stays enclosed.

Does the case include a cooling fan or heatsinks?

The product listing does not mention a fan or heatsinks. If you plan to overclock or run heavy emulation for long sessions, check the listing for current package contents and consider separate cooling.
