Sockets don't look like "snap" into their palce, but do they stay in their palce if I carry the case, drive somewhere else or so?

Yes the case they come in is very secure. I have had mine for years, and am still able to carry by handel with no problem.

There is a hole in the bottom of its case. I placed it where I wanted it on top of the computer's case, marked the hole's location and bored a corresponding hole in the case - being sure to catch the metal shavings. Then, I bolted it in place. (I ran the drive cables up the back of the computer case where they are exposed and have been knocked loose.)

Hi! I recommend buying the incase cover that zips on top if you have a hard shell case. Otherwise it's a really tight fit. You can also keep your power cord in the case too which is nice for travel. Hope this helps.

The socket comes on the board in this configuration as I ordered it. Since I am not an expert solder-er, I decided to order them pre-attached. It sounds like you are having the same problem that I had prior to replacing the board and socket, so this purchase and about an hour of laptop disassembly will fix your problem.

You may have a different socket than I. I bought two, both fitted easily into the sockets. I would call the manufacture.

There is a ring that holds the sockets in place. If you want to make it easy to remove the sockets just squez the ring with pliers

I haven't had any issue with my power connector staying put with this case. I can pick up my RPi from the power cable and it won't fall out. You may have a loose USB connection on the Pi side or a cheap cable?

No they do not hold sockets firmly in place. I used mine in drawer of my tool cart where there is no chance of tipping.

Yes, I actually use a socket and impact driver with mine. Never had a problem. I'm very happy with them

Yes, I did, because of the tight fit (too little space). Was hard to work it in and out of the socket!

Yes, the sockets fit the plugs perfectly. The plugs are nice and tight in there without being overly tight.

My sockets were so old they had gotten out-of-round and the inserts wouldn't fit. I straightened the sockets as well as I could and then forced the inserts in. I then took a drill with a 1/2" bit and went through the insert to take out the distortion (from being in the out-of-round socket) and it worked fine!

No clue. You need special tools though to open the case (or a slim knife and a VERY careful hand). After that, good eyes, steady hands and a gentle touch. Some of the connectors are DAMN SMALL. Youtube has full breakdowns so you can see exactly what you are getting into beforehand.

Mine is still fine no problem. The one thing I did notice is that it won't snap shut with the insert in it. (usb)

Unless you get a new motherboard. Its unlikely that the socket will be the same.

Where the handles tuck in if you're not using them, there's velcro closing a "pocket" on each side that is as big as the whole sleeve. Putting cables in would kinda ruin the lines of the case aesthetically, but they would definitely fit. I keep my mouse in there.
