Corkea Raspberry Pi Aluminium Enclosure for Raspberry Pi 3/2 and B + Sliver Review: Very nicely made enclosure - Very nicely made enclosure, fits the Raspberry Pi very well, no problem with Bluetooth and wifi connectivity when used with the Pi3 (there is a small slot machined in the case which corresponds with the onboard antenna). Review: Decent case, everything else shoddy. - A well designed case let down by poor packaging and some quality issues. Firstly, packaging. This thing came in a cardboard box, rattling like a box of loose bolts. Not a good first impression. The side plates were inside the outer pieces, free to rattle around, leaving scratches and scuff marks the inside of the case, and some minor (thankfully hard to see) problems on the edges and sides of the side plates. The acrylic label was unprotected, looked like it had been ripped manually from a sheet, and was completely ruined by scuff marks and scratches by the loose pieces. Not a good start. The screws don't all quite fit flush, despite careful adjustment of the plates -- maybe some minor production tolerance issues. The bundled screwdriver's handle was loose, but it did the job. No big deal. The 'light hole' doesn't line up properly with the Pi 3 lights, meaning the power light is not easily visible from outside the case. Fortunately, always-on red power lights annoy me, but this could be considered a serious flaw by some. The rubber feet and label on the underside look cheap and nasty, but you don't see them when it's on your desk. There was a spare screw. Intentional thoughtfulness, or just another bit of slapdash packing? Despite the above, the main pieces fit together well, it looks good once fully assembled and it does it's job. But "premium"? Give me a break.

Looks good
Looks good but the mounting points for the board aren't 100% correct and one of the ones I bought could only get 3 screws i, others were a bit of a bodge.

Very Well Designed Case
This is a beautifully made case that fits the Raspberry Pi 2B perfectly. It is a snug fit and does not increase the size of the Pi significantly. The SD card does not protrude out of the case bur rests just within its protection. The Pi is easily mounted on four welded, threaded, posts with the screws supplied. There is no fan, which I prefer, but a pair of heatsinks are included in the kit that attach to the tops of the ICs with double sided tape. I am unfamiliar with the efficacy of using double sided tape in place of heat-sink compound but I applied them anyway. I bought this case for full price with my own money - it WAS NOT supplied free so I could post an honest review - I hate reading those reviews. I bought a second case, this time red, and it perfectly fitted a Raspberry Pi 3. I was concerned the onboard WiFi would not work but it seems ok, although my router is only 8 feet from the Pi. I have not tested Bluetooth.
