Does the job beautifully
Very impressed with this little housing. Great, sturdy, no frills, black-box housing. Excellent fit, nicely toleranced and well designed. Good instructions too (albeit very small photos and print). Wish I'd got one years ago. Go ahead and protect your Pi.

Perfect case for your rpi3
Its cheap, easy to assemble, the only screws involwed are for hold rpi in place and for the fan. Case is easy to open for future cleaning from dust etc. Easy acsess for gpio and thumbs up for acsessible sd card slot from outside.

Almost perfect - so close
This is an excellent piece of kit - incredibly well made and supplied with all you need, including a screwdriver. What stops me giving it five stars are two little 'niggles'. Firstly the instructions are truly, utterly, AWFUL. Too small, too brief. The colour photos are tiny, and the steps are not described in enough detail. I have experience of building this kind of thing so it was not a major drawback, but a beginner could have a hard time. The photos on the Amazon page are VITAL when it comes to matching the pins for the fan. The other drawback is that this case has no port for the power/drive lights! Even worse, a big tab to hold the case together comes down right in front of them, so cutting a hole is not that easy. (Oh, and don't over-tighten the screws - the plastic is soft!)OK; pluses? Extremely high quality construction, and looks like something far more expensive. The fan is whisper-quiet in 'slow' mode and everything fits securely. No forcing was required. Nice touch that an extra screw of each type was supplied - they are so small one can easily get away. Blu-tak to hold the screw on the screwdriver is a must (and so is a magnifying glass for connecting the fan pins).Improve the instructions and this is a winner all the way. Sadly without this I can only recommend it for those who are experienced.Reluctantly - four stars instead of the five it really deserves.

Effective cooling from a high quality case
I resurrected a Pi 3 to run OSMC (a Kodi based media player). Temperatures were getting a bit too high even after fitting a processor heatsink. This resulted in a warning “red thermometer” appearing and causes the processor to throttle down.So I looked for a case with a fan. Didn’t want to spend much as there is other hardware available quite cheaply. This case fitted the bill nicely. That it also included three heatsinks for the price was pleasing.The case is well made and fits perfectly. Very easy to put together and feels very solid.I use the fan on the quiet setting and it is pretty much silent.The Pi sits inside a cupboard with a bunch of other media kit so the environment is pretty warm. Resting temp is around 40c going up to 70c playing back media. This is a significant improvement.I’m very happy with this case which offers great value for money. This would now be my first choice of Pi case.

Well Thought Out...
Just stuck my Pi 3 B+ into this (so good news for those that have been bitten by the B+ changes) and it's very good. Aesthetics wise, yes it's plastic, but it's a tenner, what do you expect? Anyhow, as plastic goes, it's a nice matt finish, slots together well with no gaps. You get 10 screws, 4 will hold the Pi to the base place, 4 will hold the fan to the top plate, so, yes, you get a spare screw for each! That alone will bump it a star in my book.Assembly instructions are concise, so please read them, they do tell you everything you need to know. The fan will mount either way up if you have a preference but I'd go for the illustrated way. Looking at the temperatures it's saved a few degrees, so that's what you get. A nice case with a fan, well designed, easy to put together, that does have some cooling effect. All in for a tenner, not bad at all.[update] Reading a few of the other comments, yes, the instructions are in 0.01pt font, but as others have pointed out, the Amazon pictures make it clear, or if your eyesight is like mine, use your phone camera. Possibly not obvious for those that have not come across it, the copper heat sink is for the RAM on the underside of the board. Also with respect to possible stripping/breaking of the screw holes, a threadlocker (Loctite Blue is easy to get) will solve any cludges here. Some reported the case covers pin 6, there isn't a lot of room but I had no problems.That's my tuppence worth, in short, recommended.

Does not fit the PoE pie Hat
fits the Pi 3 BUT does not fit the PoE hat for it

Very nice case for a Pi Server
The instruction book is a bit small, I used the fan wiring diagram from the Amazon product page as it was larger and clearer.Using this with a new Pi 3B+. I love the way the case is constructed, very nice and compact. Fan and heat sinks supplied seem to work, did a lot of heavy copying tasks when I was transferring content to new drives and I was running a MAINFRAME emulator and OS, ssh and VNC connections etc and the temperature didn't exceed 46C degrees. My old Pi in it's old fanless case would rise up further temperature and begin throttling the CPU.Highly recommended.

Super value for money
I bought this purely as it facilitated a fan. So looked for the cheapest possible case. However, it's actually really impressed me. For a tenner, it comes with all the screws, heatsinks and of course the fan. Great fit, looks high end, and suits my requirements perfectly. The instruction leaflet, albeit small, is actually very useful and concise. Well happy, and would recommend.
