The case is plastic that was provided in the Canakit. The holes make the shape of the the pi logo; cute. I took the lid off and the temp dropped 5C, to about 66°C. The ambient air temp in the cabinet is warm due to the router. In the prior location the room temp was about 24°C, and the pi3B+ was upper ~59°C. I am going to move it to another location based upon the information below because 70°C appears to be about an upper limit. A search yielded the following from '*this website*' (https://www.rs-online.com/designspark/how-does-raspberry-pi-deal-with-overheating): To keep costs low, the Raspberry Pi is built with commercial-grade chips which are qualified to different temperature ranges; the USB and Ethernet controller of the Pi 3+ (Microchip LAN7515) is specified by the manufacturers as being qualified from 0°C to 70°C. The SoC (System on Chip – the integrated circuit that does the Pi’s processing, a Broadcom BCM2837B0) is qualified from -40°C to 85°C. This effectively means that the maximum operating temperature of Raspberry Pi’s key components is 70°C and 85°C respectively.
