Overview
CUBE Pi Protective Case for Raspberry Pi 5 is a multifunctional metal-and-acrylic enclosure designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5, featuring a 270° panoramic transparent design. It combines a metal chassis box with highly transparent acrylic side plates, a programmable RGB colorful light bar, a blue cooling fan, dual-pass cooling ducts, and dust-proof magnetic nets to help keep the Raspberry Pi 5 protected, clean, and well-cooled while maintaining a quiet cooling experience.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5: Port openings match the Raspberry Pi 5 layout; not compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 / Raspberry Pi 4B / Raspberry Pi 3B+.
- 270° panoramic view: Transparent acrylic panels provide a wide view of internal components.
- Cooling system: Blue cooling fan + dual-pass cooling duct for efficient heat dissipation.
- Dust protection: Top and bottom dust-proof magnetic nets (magnetic baffles) help isolate dust and support easier disassembly/cleaning.
- RGB lighting: Programmable RGB colorful light bar supports multiple lighting effects.
- 0.91 inch OLED included: Displays CPU temperature, CPU usage, memory space, RAM usage, IP address, and other information.
- M.2 SSD support: Space is reserved to support installing an M.2 SSD for storage expansion.
- Active radiator support: Space is reserved to install an active radiator (optional); cooling fan is included by default.

Details

A metal-and-acrylic enclosure made for Raspberry Pi 5, built around a wide 270° panoramic transparent design.

Programmable RGB lighting, OLED status display, dust-proof magnetic nets, and a dual-pass cooling layout keep builds tidy and cool.

Clear side panels keep ports and components easy to view while maintaining a protective metal frame.

Port cutouts are aligned for Raspberry Pi 5; the enclosure is not compatible with Raspberry Pi 4/4B/3B+.

The perforated base and open airflow path support cooling while keeping a clean, minimalist cube profile.

Compact dimensions make it easy to fit on a desk, lab bench, or portable setup.

A structured interior separates the driver board, Pi 5 mounting area, and adapter board space for neat cable routing.

A mixed metal chassis and high-transparency acrylic panels combine durability with visibility.

Magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom lift off for quicker cleaning without tools.

RGB light effects pair with the included cooling fan to add both function and a clean build aesthetic.

Extra internal space supports adding an optional active radiator while keeping the included fan in place.

The 0.91-inch OLED can display live stats such as CPU temperature, usage, RAM, and IP address.

An M.2 expansion option supports NVMe storage for Raspberry Pi 5 builds that need faster or larger local storage.

Integrated driver boards provide dedicated headers for GPIO, RGB light bar control, OLED, and dual fan connections.

Full access to USB, Ethernet, dual HDMI, and Type‑C keeps the Raspberry Pi 5 I/O easy to reach after assembly.

Connect a monitor and peripherals to turn Raspberry Pi 5 into a compact desktop-style workstation.



The driver board spec lists STM8S003F3U6TR, IIC communication, DC3.3V/DC5V input, and PH2.0-3P plus dual XH2.54-2P outputs.

The flexible WS2812 RGB light bar measures 97 mm long and uses a 3-wire PH2.0 interface (VCC, GND, signal) with about a 150 mm lead.

The 40×40×10 mm cooling fan drawing lists key dimensions like Ø3.4 mm mounting holes and a 13.5 cm lead length for easier fit checks.

The 0.91-inch I2C OLED module includes a dimensioned drawing and a simple GND/VCC/SCL/SDA pin definition for wiring.

The CUBE Pi protective case features a ventilated top and precise side openings for easy access to USB and HDMI ports.

The CUBE Pi Case (basic version) package includes a metal chassis, cooling fan, dust-proof magnetic nets, acrylic plates, screws/standoffs, and an OLED module.

The CUBE Pi cooling protective case kit includes a metal chassis, Pi5 adapter and driver boards, a cooling fan, dust-proof magnetic nets, and mounting hardware.

The CUBE Pi protective case kit includes a metal chassis, Pi 5 adapter and driver boards, dust-proof magnetic nets, cooling parts, and an M.2 SSD setup.
