For my use case, I need access to the GPIO pins. The blurb on the Flirc says that access is possible but I don't see any opening. Can you confirm that GPIO access I possible?

I use this case: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/aluminium-heatsink-case-f...

Doesn't look as flashy as the Flirc case, but cooling performance is supposed to be similar and you can access all the pins.

The gpio access requires a header cable routed out a slot in the base of the case.

I have several pi in flirc cases, one is a pihole and one runs CI jobs (slowly) for PhotoStructure, and they don't get too hot even under sustained cpu load.

Flirc cases are great.
