Retro Power NES Retro Brick Raspberry Pi Case (307 Bricks) for 2B, 3B, 3B+, RetroPie with 2X Nintendo NES Controllers

I've played with Legos for most of my life, so I thought I would be disappointed by 3rd party building blocks... But I was dead wrong. These sets are just like real Legos. All the pieces are perfectly compatible with Legos. The packaging and instructions are fantastic! I had a lot of fun building these. I used the Raspberry Pi 3b+ in all my cases and it fit perfectly. I actually had so much fun building the first one I also bought the SNES and Sega cases from Retro Power too. The controllers are pretty basic but work. For all the Lego pieces and the 2 controllers it's an AMAZING deal! Will definitely buy again if I need another case for the Raspberry Pi.

I saw this unit in action on a YouTube channel and just had to own it - right after I watched the video I bought this kit along with a Raspberry Pi 3. It made a great family project as my kids (12 and 9) built the system while I set up that Raspberry board. Instructions are just like that OTHER brick toy company and extremely easy to read and understand. Like I said, my two young children put it together without any issues. Slide in your Raspberry Pi during construction (it will be a tight fit), finish it, and you're done! The included controllers are ABSOLUTELY worth the extra money from the version that doesn't come with them. They don't feel 100% like I remember the NES controllers of my childhood, but they're quite good, responsive, and don't feel overly cheap or squishy. All in all, this is an excellent product and the controllers put it over the top as an amazing experience.

Awesome case for the pi. The build quality was great, and I'm glad after watching LGR and ETA primes videos on the product I had to have it. I'll probably be buying the SNES one soon.I heard a little discoloration with one of the flat tiles on top, but the team reached out wanting to know how I like the product and were super quick getting replacement pieces sent out.The controllers are not a strong suite, but for only a little bit more they are adequate. All the buttons feel great, but the Dpad doesn't have a pivot to it or anything so you can press down the whole thing at once instead of having a bearing or something in the middle.

The product that showed up was exactly what I was expecting it to be like from the photos. The generic bricks are easily of a higher quality than a lot of the cheap ones I have come across, however, which with the $25 this is currently listed at including two NES-styled usb controllers is a good deal. The controllers are on the lighter side in terms of weight so that could potentially bother some people however for myself I consider it to be a perk.Positioning of the computer inside is... strange cosmetically. In a practical sense it works just fine for me with easily accessing ports. The hinge has a gap (perfectly positioned for extra air flow! Perks with a 3B) that could bother some folks when it comes to accuracy to the reference console.Only reason I would not 5 star this product is the included bricks & layout do not allow for an easy modification for accessing the AUX port. Other reviews have been understating/putting it lightly. At least in my use-case there is no physically possible way to plug in an aux cable without modifying the brick layout (which also, to be cosmetically similar, would require 1-3 other *not included* gray bricks to clear up enough space for most jacks.)Overall I am extremely pleased, and I plan on using it with my newly purchased 3B+ on a semi-permanent basis.

This is by far my favorite case that I've owned for my raspberry pi, the bricks themselves are really solid and sturdy and click together tightly. Once it's assembled you have a very nice looking (and functional) model NES. The assembly instructions are easy to follow along with, they've made it so that anybody could build this. Finally the controllers that come with it are good and exceeded my expectations. I 100% recommend this case.
