Raspberry Pi Bumper for Raspberry Pi 5 review: Silicone protection for your silicon
We did not test if it bounces, nor should you.
Raspberry Pi has been releasing a slew of products in 2024. We’ve had the Raspberry Pi Pico 2, the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB, a new AI Camera, as well as two AI boards (the Raspberry Pi AI Kit and the Raspberry Pi AI HAT+). That's in addition to new Raspberry Pi branded A2 micro SD cards and SSDs. But a $3 Raspberry Pi Bumper for the Raspberry Pi 5 was something of a curveball.
This one-piece flexible silicone rubber bumper is exactly that. Not a case, more of a means to keep your Pi 5 stuck to the desk, and not shorting out on that errant screw you left sitting out.
But does it work? Does it interfere with the Raspberry Pi 5’s cooling? Is it any good? Let's find out in what could possibly be my shortest ever review.
