I've just received an update that my order has shipped !! so I guess they have stock...

Here's hoping it works for you too and we can compare notes

I have the version of this case for the 4B board, very nice although the bottom plastic part is made from very thin plastic, not going to survive any kind of drop or blow, it would shatter. I wish the bottom were metal, or just a better quality plastic, something more durable like ABS.

Anyway, the case works quite well in dissipating heat passively, I did not connect the fan and the Pi is running Moode at about 40℃. I think the fan would only be necessary for graphics or video intensive applications.

I did see one YouTube video that showed use of the fan, it was whiny and much too noisy for my purposes, so if in fact it were needed I would search for a better quality quieter fan than the one they include.

I do like the re-orientation of all cable entry/exit at the rear, a big aesthetic improvement if the streamer is to be located in plain sight for instance in a living room.

In the U.S. Amazon has this case for $25, though they seem to be out of stock on the case alone, but they do have a bundle including a SMPS available for $35.
