I've had a few experiences with non-official Raspberry Pi cases (only plastic ones), and generally they're very flimsy. I will admit that my expectations were low for this case when I bought it, but I will say I'm pleasantly surprised for a number of reasons:
1. The layered design of this case is pretty cool, and keeps the Pi very secure. All of the interfaces are well supported on the sides. Kudos to whoever thought of this design.
2. Due to the layers, I would assume that it's strong.
3. The dual voltage/speed of the fan is a nice touch.
4. I haven't tested the speed difference, but that's another nice touch.
5. It's very quiet. I was expecting a noisy crappy fan, but it's so quiet, that I can't imagine it bothering anyone. I don't know about how much air it moves, but anything is better than nothing.
6. Having the switch (on the power brick) close to the Pi is another great feature. Much better than having to pull out the connecter each time.
7. Very clear installation instructions (for case assembly, heat-sink application, fan and speed installation, and mounting of the Pi). Nice work!
The downsides are minor, but I do want to bring them up. They are:
1. With the top installed, it's a bit tricky to see the PWR LED and "disk" light. It is possible to see them, but you need to hold the case at an angle, and look through the long slot between the fan and the short edge. Having another slot, or hole where you could see the LEDs directly from the top would be nice, but definitely not a deal-breaker.
2. If you need to get access to the inside of the case frequently, this will be a bit of a pain. This is due to the layered approach of the case itself. The install instructions show having the screw go from top to bottom, but if you do that, then you need to take off a lot of the layers. I recommend having the screw heads at the bottom, and that way if you need to access the inside, you'll only have to take off one layer.
3. The switch on the power lead is reversed than what I would expect. With the button down, I would expect that power would be ON, but it's not. Power is ON when the button is up. You may also want to put a small white line on the fan so you can easily tell when the fan is on, because the fan is very smooth during operation, and it can be hard to see that it's actually running.
Other than the minor items I listed, I'm pretty certain that I'll be buying again from Miuzei. Quality product all the way!
