Personally, I think the TrimUi Brick Hammer really brilliant. The original TrimUi Brick already felt like a premium product, but with the Hammer , TrimUi has literally hit the nail on the head. The metal casing, the finish and the way it feels in your hand make this one of the most stylish retro handhelds you can buy at the moment. -xxx- Jorne

The TrimUi Brick Hammer is the premium version of the popular TrimUi Brick, crafted from CNC-machined aluminium.
This version feels solid, cool and luxurious, and offers noticeably improved heat dissipation during longer gaming sessions.
With its powerful hardware and crystal-clear screen, this is the perfect choice for retro fans who value quality and craftsmanship.
I already thought the Brick was brilliant, and all my friends have one now, but I just had to have this one too – what a cool bit of kit! – Jorne

I ordered the TrimUI Brick Hammer (metal case) and received the TrimUI Brick (non-metal).
The support team offered me a solution within 10 minutes of my message late at night, which I was happy with.
I’d give 4/5 stars, but because the person who replied late at night dealt with this quickly and professionally, you’ve earned 5/5
★☆☆☆☆
I was sent the TrimUI Brick instead of the TrimUI Brick Hammer.
A huge disappointment.
I’m waiting for a reply via support@retrogear.nl and will update or rewrite the review afterwards.
★★★★★
I’d already bought a Trimui Brick from RG, but I liked it so much that I bought another one. The service is always top-notch; I’ll definitely be staying a customer.
