Pibow Coupé 4 Rainbow Case
This protective enclosure is built specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer. Five colourful cast-acrylic layers stack together to secure the board while keeping it visible. The design suits makers and tinkerers who want a slim, lightweight shell that leaves every primary port and the GPIO header fully accessible for ongoing projects.
Heatsink Cutout and HAT Clearance
A 40x30mm opening in the lid accepts a small heatsink or Fan SHIM for passive or active cooling. The super-slimline profile maintains full compatibility with HAT add-on boards and works with standard standoffs. Laser-etched port labels on the acrylic help identify connections quickly during assembly or troubleshooting.
Raspberry Pi 4 Exclusive Fit
The case fits only the Raspberry Pi 4; it will not accommodate other board models or form factors. Builders needing an enclosure for a different single-board computer or a larger cooling solution must choose an alternative product. The fixed layer stack also prevents internal modification once assembled.

Questions about this item
Will I need to replace the acrylic layers if they crack from heat?
The case is made from high-quality cast acrylic designed to protect the Raspberry Pi 4; it does not contain active cooling components that would degrade, so the layers themselves are not a scheduled replacement part.
What is the first thermal limit I will hit when running the Pi 4 continuously inside this case?
The lid includes a cut-out sized for a 40x30mm heatsink or Fan SHIM; without adding one of those, the enclosed acrylic layers will trap heat and the Pi will throttle first.
How much fan noise or extra power draw should I expect if I add a Fan SHIM to the cut-out?
The case simply provides the 40x30mm opening; any noise or power consumption comes entirely from the specific Fan SHIM you choose to install.
