   I don't know about cases, but the rPi5 £5 official active cooler is   
   good. Good in that it cools passively, with the fan only spinning up   
   momentarily at startup and under extreme load (in my case only under a   
   stress test).   
      
   The cooler provides quite a lot of protection to the top of the board, I   
   assume the nvme-base will protect the base.   
      
   So the need for additional case protection just comes down to the 40 pin   
   gpio, and how much you want to press the on off button (tricky without a   
   case).   
      
   I got rid of my desire for an nvme with my opi5. Due to being PCIe 1   
   lane, it wasn't that much faster, and there was significant additional   
   effort installing the OS, compared to a micro SD. Obviously, you may   
   have a different use-case.
