The Argon NEO - Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Camera Mount

When searching far and wide for the perfect Pi enclosure to keep your Pi safe from external damage and other similar problems, it’s not always an easy choice, given the vast number of Pi Enclosures available on the market – with each offering subtle differences and specialising in their own unique ways. However, sometimes you may not need an ultra-fancy case to keep your Raspberry Pi safe, and instead may just be looking for a basic Pi enclosure that offers a good level of functionality, a great level of protection, and a few extra features to add the cherry on top and give you a little more bang for your buck.

Well, The Argon NEO Enclosure is quite an impressive case that perfectly fits those criteria, with a rugged and durable aluminium shell that both keeps the Pi safe and passively cools it, while offering some handy extras that help convenience and a touch of functionality too. This includes a nice magnetic lid that maintains a sleek appearance while simply sliding out of the way when necessary, and sliding this out of the way reveals two small gaps, for both the CSI and the DSI cables, as well as the classic 40 pin GPIO cut-out so you can easily access all of the IO pins you need with minimal effort. And of course, a good sundae isn’t quite complete without the cherry on top, and the cherry for this case is the fact that it also includes a tiny camera mounting point on the top of the case, designed to fit most standard Pi Cameras and adding that finishing touch that no other Pi enclosures offer.

Although this case doesn’t include active cooling, it is an excellent case for simplistic functionality, with clever cut-outs and gaps to make your life as a Pi Maker as easy and convenient as possible, and a strong aluminium casing to keep your Pi both cool and protected as it powers through the various tasks you  give it.

Finally, having a second opinion is always a good thing, and so we’ve included this cool Argon NEO Case Review by ETA Prime, which covers the basics, the installation and setup, how it performs when compared to similar cases, as well as what applications it’s best suited for:
