C4Labs - Zebra 4 Interior Fan Case for Raspberry Pi 4 B
A**N
Cheap fan but otherwise a good product!
I bought this case for my smart TV project, along with their VESA bracket accessory so I could mount it to the back of the display. I've had almost no issues with it, except the fan started to get a little noisy after a few months of use. I decided to purchase a Noctua 5V/40mm fan to replace it, and I just had to make a few modifications to fit it in the case and connect it to the Pi. Despite that, the case itself is solid.

A great case, but can require finesse
I've bought this case for the half-dozen or so Pi's at my company. The fan is good, and keeps the Pi cool. My only "complaint" is that some times the laser printing of the individual pieces can be a little too fine, and they won't fit together perfectly once the Pi is in place. Also, one specific piece (step 4) is thin enough that I consider it to be too fragile.Nonetheless, I love this case, and highly recommend it. Just be patient when putting it together, and maybe keep a nail file handy.

Good case, cheap fan
This is my 3rd C4Labs case and like the other two I love the look of it and it's houses my RPI 4 quite nicely. However, unlike my RPI3 fan case the fan on this case failed in under 2 weeks. My disappointment is limited, though. I really didn't expect the fan to last. At this price point, there's little chance of including a high quality fan.So based on my expectations regarding quality being met, I'm going to rate this mainly on their case design and the goodwill they've engendered with my other two RPI cases.

Amazing case and performance
The case comes with everything you need, including a cool wooden stand. The instuctions are clear and easy to follow. If you like legos building this case will be fun for you (it was for me). The fan needs to be tilted to pop into place. After letting it run for 30 mins at load encoding video in a 24C room the case stayed well below thermal throttle limits. This case is indeed a underdog newness wise but is now my new favorite for the Pi4 and I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a 'legit' case for thier project.

C4Labs: a great company to deal with
I have nothing but positive things to say about this company. I had trouble assembling my case, mostly due to my impatience and fatigue that night, and they offered to assemble it for me for no extra cost. If that's not customer service, I don't know what is.

Decent
I've bought three of these. Two came with the wrong I/O shield for the micro hdmi, aux, and usb-c ports. Build quality is decent, about what you'd expect from a home-3D-printed product. Really only bought these because they support 40mm fans and I put Noctua's in literally everything.Would buy again I guess.

Unexpected heatsinks included
Looks good. Very easy to assemble. A nice surprise of the inclusion of 4 heatsinks for the chip set.

Perfect case for the Pi4
I've got 2 of these already. Great cases! Carefully following the installation guide is super-important, and well-worth it. Pi runs nice and cool, and the case is great to look at as well. If you need access to the pins while it's in the case, this case won't do it for you.
