Customer Questions & Answers
What are the exact dimensions and weight of the case, and what is included in the box when you buy it?
The Retroflag Nespi case measures approximately 143 mm x 114 mm x 53 mm and weighs around 191 g. The box includes the case, mounting screws, heatsinks, wiring for the power/reset buttons and an installation manual. The Raspberry Pi board and power supply are not included.
Which Raspberry Pi models are fully compatible, and what external connections does the case provide?
The case is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, 3 B+, 2 Model B and 1 Model B+. It provides access to HDMI, audio and Ethernet RJ-45 ports, plus four external USB ports (two accessible on the front cover). The side slot allows the microSD card to be removed without disassembling the case.
Is any special installation procedure required to enable safe shutdown, and is there any specific software to install?
Yes, to activate safe shutdown you need to connect the button wiring to the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and run a script provided by Retroflag on the operating system (for example, via shell in Raspbian). Official documentation is available; without the script, the buttons will only work as mechanical switches.
How does using this case affect heat dissipation, and what alternatives are there to improve system cooling?
The Retroflag Nespi case prioritises retro styling over active ventilation, limiting airflow space. It includes room for heatsinks, but not for internal fans. In high-performance tasks, temperatures may rise; fan-equipped or metal alternatives offer better heat dissipation, although they usually sacrifice the retro design.
Which Raspberry Pi models is this Retroflag NesPi case compatible with?
It is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, B+, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+.

The safe shutdown function protects the SD card during shutdown and reboot, helping to prevent damage and data loss.
