Does anyone know of a non-metal case that will work with this RPi with GeeekPi N07 PCIe M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD PCIe Peripheral Bottom Board? I would prefer a plastic case so that it won't affect WiFi speed. I bought a RPi 4B in April 2020 and didn't keep it long. I am really please at how much more capable the RPi 5 is!

Shop around for a bit, plenty of sizes, and thicknesses of lids, etc from several manufacturers. You have it in hand and can take some measurements for best fit.
I looked at a bunch of YouTube case videos and on Amazon. The ones that might fit all seem to be metal . If someone would post WiFi speed in a metal case, then it would help me make a choice. I had it in a RasTech plastic case with a USB M.2 adapter and that was fine. But, but it won't work with the M.2 bottom setup. BTW, the SSD speed has about doubled!

Thanks for that link! I had looked at one like that with more features, but it was on Amazon for around $60 to $70. After watching a few videos about it, I decided not to get it. The one you linked had the same M.2 bottom board that I have installed. I was able to find one without that on Black Friday deal for ~$27, and ordered it!
