Somewhat related: For USB C cables, get a CaberQU pin/line checker: https://caberqu.com/

The current model displays active lines, but there's a Kickstarter for one that shows more information: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electr/ble-caberqu-a-di...

Wow that is some massively overpriced crap right there. Forty dollars for a USB continuity tester with a basic plastic case that only does type-C cables. Meanwhile you can get one, with acrylic case, that does types A, B, C, Micro, and Micro 3.0 for $17 off Amazon or $11 off Aliexpress.

Not sure I would highlight that "acrylic case" as a selling point... it's just a flat lid, with plastic standoffs... which you need to assemble yourself. No sides or even bottom.

This is what I was expecting when you said acrylic case: https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-case/

You're correct, but I felt the need to mention it as the OP's one is just a bare circuit board unless you pay extra for a similar acrylic frame.
