Description
Argon Poly+ for Raspberry Pi 4: the ventilated ABS case that accepts official HATs
L'Argon Poly+ is Argon40's entry-level case for the Raspberry Pi 4 : a shell in black ABS with a contemporary design, vents on the lid and a secure cover tall enough to house an official Raspberry Pi HAT inside. A smart choice for getting started or for protecting a project Pi 4 without giving up access to the connectors.
Highlights
- Protective cover : it shields the GPIO pins and the camera and display connectors when you are not using them.
- Compatible with official HATs : the top cover houses a Raspberry Pi HAT inside the case.
- microSD card and USB ports accessible without opening the case.
- Ventilated lid : the vents allow you to add a small optional Argon fan.
- Lightweight and affordable, ideal for beginners according to Argon40.

Which one should you choose?
| Model | Material | Cooling | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Argon Poly+ Pi 4 | ABS | vents, optional fan | getting started, projects with a HAT |
| Argon NEO Pi 4 | aluminum | Passive through the case | compact metal protection |
| Argon ONE V2 | aluminum | passive + fan | mini PC, full-size HDMI |
| Official Raspberry Pi 4 case | plastic | Optional fan | simple official solution |
Our advice: the Poly+ suits evolving projects, with a HAT or GPIO wires. For a Pi 4 running continuously under load, an aluminium case dissipates heat better.
Compatibility and pitfalls to avoid
- Raspberry Pi 4 only : it is not suitable for the Raspberry Pi 5, whose port layout is different.
- No fan supplied : for intensive use, plan for cooling or a metal case.
- HAT : Argon40 validates official Raspberry Pi HATs; for a thick third-party HAT, check its height.
- Power supply : the Pi 4 requires a 5.1 V 3 A USB-C power supply to remain stable with its USB peripherals.
Recommended accessories
- The official 15.3 W USB-C power supply : the 5.1 V 3 A recommended for the Pi 4.
- The official micro-HDMI to HDMI cable: the Pi 4 outputs via micro-HDMI.
- The Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT: an official HAT for powering the Pi through the network cable.
- The Raspberry Pi 4 4 GB, the board to protect.
- A SanDisk Ultra microSD card for the system.
Uses and projects
- Introduction to programming in the classroom or at home.
- GPIO projects with sensors and HATs, with the cover removed when needed.
- Lightweight server : Pi-hole, VPN or home automation.
- Secondary workstation for browsing and office work.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Argon Poly+ compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5?
No, it is designed for the Raspberry Pi 4. Argon40 offers a specific Poly+ 5 for the Pi 5.
Can a HAT be installed in the Argon Poly+?
Yes, the top cover can house an official Raspberry Pi HAT inside the case.
Does the case come with a fan?
No. The vents in the lid allow you to add a small Argon fan, sold separately by the manufacturer.
Can I change the microSD card without opening the case?
Yes, the microSD card and the USB ports remain accessible.
Does the Poly+ protect the connectors?
Yes, its cover protects the GPIO and the camera and display connectors when they are not in use.
Which power supply should I choose for a Pi 4 in the Argon Poly+?
A 5.1 V 3 A USB-C power supply, such as the official 15.3 W power supply. With a HAT and USB peripherals, an undersized power supply causes undervoltage warnings and instability.
Is the case suitable for a classroom?
Yes: lightweight, affordable and easy to open, it protects the connectors from repeated handling while keeping the microSD card accessible.
