Manufacturer description

The Geekworm P122 is an aluminum alloy armor case for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It cools the board passively, with no fan, and has an open design. It fits every Pi 4B memory variant: 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB. With no fan, it makes no noise, so it suits media centers, home servers and desk projects where a small fan's whine would bother you. The case is compact at 88 x 56 x 20mm (3.46 x 2.20 x 0.79 inches), so it fits in tight spaces. Geekworm says the reinforced aluminum is light and durable. The open frame means the metal won't block your Pi's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal. All ports and slots…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Geekworm P122 fit my Raspberry Pi 5 or Pi 3?

No. Geekworm lists the P122 as compatible only with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB). Other Pi models have different layouts and are not supported.

Does the P122 case have a fan?

No. The P122 is a passive cooling case. The aluminum alloy body draws heat away from the board with no fan, so it runs silently. The listing does not give temperature results, so check the product reviews for real-world thermal reports.

Can I still use GPIO pins and HATs with this case on?

Yes. The P122 comes with two 2x20 female headers that extend the GPIO pins, so you can connect a GPIO ribbon cable or add-on board while the Pi stays in the case.

Will a metal case hurt my Pi 4's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?

Geekworm says the P122's open design does not interfere with the Pi 4's Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signal, since the antenna area is not fully enclosed in metal.
