Pros & Cons
Pros
Simple and easy to assemble. Just make sure to put the bottom screws, bottom plate and standoffs on first, not in the order listed in the instructions. This is to protect it from scratching during shipment.
I suppose it's up to you whether you include the fiddly little reset button-presser piece. I needed to really shove and adjust some of the pin headers on my board to get them to fit through the case's openings. Everything else fit.
protects your arduino mega2560 or clone from being shorted out by stray jumper wire ends. Only real issue i have is the 5v regulator onboard blew a hole out it side. The only thing i'm concerned about is the ams1117 5. V that gets up to 190 deg f when... Read More
Cons
The sunfounder shield has 2 small plastic tabs that interfere with the break out pins on the arduino. It cracks very easily. Support the innovators and avoid copycat kits such as this.
Don't buy these poorly made knockoffs. Terrible quality. Save your self the trouble and the money. Fortunately, amazon prime, as efficient as ever gave me a full refund!
If you power it through the voltage regulator (not usb) it puts 5 volts out at the 5v pin. The reset button is in the wrong place and the slots for the headers are cut wrong. It didn't work and ran into the dreaded timeout communicating with programme... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Quality product at a very reasonable price.
Quality is good but not as good as the arduino brand (which i always recommend you buy an arduino brand of each new type you want to try.
Didn’t take long to figure out that you need to build it upside down, starting with the top.
It wasn't the easiest to put together (especially with needing to peel the backing off every piece of acrylic) but it was a bit... Read More
Shipping
I only give it four stars because the packing is not sturdy enough was crushed during shipping.
Packaging/appearance
Upon arrival, i opened the uno, and found that the 328p chip was completely dislodged and loose in the package.
Competitiveness
It is a decent case, costs twice what the competition charges.
I recent purchased several elegoo mega 2560 boards.
Less than half the price of the arduino 2560.

I had to make sure which of the reset button location
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I am worried a bit about overheating as i haven’t built anything yet and it doesn’t really have air openings

Also youll have to remove the protective paper backing from all the acrylic parts prior to assembly

Fortunately i had some spare rubber feet i was able to apply to the bottom
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I had asked if it would and got a response that it would not that it was the wrong size

And when you put on the top piece the little plastic piece that is a spacer likes to fall out
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You can fix that by putting a piece of tape on top of the top piece and over the hole the little plastic spacer piece is in so that it holds the spacer up
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once its all assembled just pull off the tape
