Been a fan of those Flirc cases for a while. They do a good job and look/feel top quality.

There is an even better take on the whole-case heat sink concept, although it gets pricey:

Quite ugly if you ask me!

Might as well go all the way to AstroPi[1] at that rate. Though I wonder if Flir couldn't make a copper-top version for less money than either, really...

In which way is this "all" more than the flirc case? The Flirc case makes physical contact with the CPU and radiates heat all over the case. Don't let the black (removable) plastic top fool you - it's one solid piece the whole way.

I didn't meant the Flirc case so much as the machined, high-dollar one. The Flirc one looks great, esp. for $15.

How do you use that with a GPIO cable?

There is a small gap between the bottom plastic and metal body you should be able to get a ribbon cable through but I haven't tried it on mine.
