Specialist Flirc teamed up with the Kodi Foundation to create a case for the Raspberry Pi 5. This “Kodi Edition” case was designed based on community input, with initial ideas collected from users on the Kodi forums.

multimedia centers They are one of the most interesting use cases among the dozens of projects that can be done with our popular single board computer. Years ago, Kodi, one of the best entertainment software, collaborated with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to create custom boxes. Now it comes with another chassis, in this case exclusively for the latest version of the SBC, the 5.

As you know, these computers only come with the electronic board, so using a chassis is a good way to protect it and improve its visual appeal. The Kodi Edition chassis for Raspberry Pi 5 is manufactured in aluminum and promises to make your computer ‘cool’.

The case comes with a thermal pad and four screws for easy assembly. It has rubber feet that lift it off the surface and allow users to access the GPIO pins and SD memory card without having to take it apart. Buyers have easy access to the Raspberry Pi 5’s power button and activity lights. The box also works with Flirc Skip 1s and USB universal remotes.

Let’s just say that development has been collaborative from the start. Six designs were presented as a final choice and the community chose the one that was eventually produced. Flirc noted that it will continue to work with the Kodi community to release new designs every three months for limited builds.

A portion of the money from each sale of the Kodi Edition for Raspberry Pi 5 chassis will go directly to support the Kodi Foundation and its development work. You can buy the chassis in the Flirc online store at a price that everyone can afford: $16.95.
