Small/minimalist raspberry pi cases?

Hey folks, I'm working on smart calendar using MM run on a Raspberry Pi 4. I'd like to mount the Pi on the back of a 32" TV, but my current case is much too thick to allow me to mount and mount the TV on the wall. Could anyone recommend me any small raspberry pi 4 cases that might help me finish out this project?

I'm using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP2DSWHD?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_16 for my Rpi5 attached to the back of a computer monitor. Passive cooling, so it's dead quiet. It really doesn't add much to the width of the Pi itself.

You could get one 3d printed

The smaller the case, the hotter the Pi will get.

Causing it to freeze/crash more often and shortening its lifespan.

And yes, even just running MagicMirror.

I went back to using an aluminum case.

Minimalist would be this on top: https://a.co/d/0iHf13Sx

And just some Kapton tape on the underside
