If it’s located near the USB port, then the case can be applied to your board. Package Includes 1 x Mega Acrylic Case Review: Great product but tricky to assemble - Very good quality at a reasonable price. I've very pleased with this case for my Arduino Mega 2560. However, it was a devil to assemble even with so few separate pieces. The instructions made no sense (just a scrappy piece of paper with sketches and a few numbers) but this didn't matter too much as, looking at the bits and pieces out of the box, it was quite obvious it would fit together. The main problem during assmebly was that the various slots in the casing were extremely tight and, in the end, I had to (very carefully) physically bend different parts of my Mega 2560 board to make it fit. For a while, I could get one side of the board in, but not the other. Then, when I gave more attention to the problem side, the first side would pop out of its slots again. I even found it hard to peel away the protective paper from the pieces of casing before starting the assembly. This perhaps doesn't bode well for my embryonic career as a robotics fiddle-about-erer. But I still give this product five stars. Now it's assembled, with my board safely inside, it not only looks great but it has a really solid feel. I reckon you could drop it out of a window and the board would still survive. Review: Very good (almost) - I use the enclosure with an "ELEGOO MEGA 2560 R3". The enclosure is very useful. It helps in avoiding short circuits or damages to the MEGA2560. I found the enclosure well made. The instructions are a little bit difficult to decipher but the SunFounder website shows a photo that helped me to assemble the enclosure correctly. The only problem I had was with the position of the ICSP hole. It was slightly off-centre and a little bit too small (I use and AVR AVRISP mkII). I had to file enclosure to remove some material. Not the end of the world especially considering that who buys an Arduino-compatible board is likely to have some DIY skills. I recommend the SunFounder Mega 2560 Case Enclosure. It is an affordable solution that does what promises well. ## Features - Protective case of Mega - Fastened by eight screws - Made by premium acrylic - Provides excellent protection, and fashionable appearance - Compatible with Mega with pin leakage, which provides easy connection to other components ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HNMZ2L0 | | Brand Name | SUNFOUNDER | | CPU Model | 210 | | Compatible Devices | Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3, Genuino Mega 2560 Rev3 | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (530) | | Manufacturer | SUNFOUNDER | | Manufacturer Part Number | Mega 2560 | | Memory Storage Capacity | 1 TB | | Model Name | Mega R3 | | Model Number | Mega 2560 case | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Operating System | all | | Processor Brand | Atmel | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Speed | 1 KHz | | Product Warranty | 12 months | | RAM Memory Installed | 1 GB | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | Total USB Ports | 4 | | UPC | 649318597187 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SUNFOUNDER - **CPU model:** 210 - **Memory storage capacity:** 1 TB - **Model name:** Mega R3 - **RAM memory installed size:** 1 GB ## Images ![SUNFOUNDER Mega R3 Compatible with Arduino (Mega Case) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qoJm3Hn-L.jpg) ![SUNFOUNDER Mega R3 Compatible with Arduino (Mega Case) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Mtq30K12L.jpg) ![SUNFOUNDER Mega R3 Compatible with Arduino (Mega Case) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71j8wJ9Q9jL.jpg) ![SUNFOUNDER Mega R3 Compatible with Arduino (Mega Case) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RGMCzyC5L.jpg) ![SUNFOUNDER Mega R3 Compatible with Arduino (Mega Case) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711pWcf6OfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the technical differences between the SunFounder Mega 2560 and the Arduino Mega 2560?** A: Sunfounder is the company that makes the board, the name of the HW platform is Arduono. If they are both Mega they are the same, you should check the revision in the details to confirm, the Mega I bought is a R3 Mega. There is also an Arduino Yun and it has Wifi built in, the Mega does not you need to buy a shield separately that costs about 75$. **Q: I purchased the Mega kit. However, I did not receive the free tutorials and the project code. How can I get these materials?** A: My kit had a small booklet and a small CD with all the code, instructions, and a PDF of the manual. We've completed about half of the demos and except for a few small typos in the manual, it's been working great. **Q: Is the physical size and hole placement the same as the Arduino brand?** A: Yes, same size. I compared it to a friend's Arduino Uno from Arduino. **Q: Can I use my arduino books with the Sunfounder mega? Or will the projects not work right with this board?** A: Yes, you can use your arduino books. All arduino projects working right with this board. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product but tricky to assemble *by P***L on 26 March 2017* Very good quality at a reasonable price.

Spent a while looking for a case for the Mega 2560 before stumbling on this one. The SunFounder Mega 2560 has excellent build quality. Assembly is a breeze and the end result looks awesome. However although there is a slot for the ICSP connection I was unable to get my AVRISP mkII to fit. Not a problem if your using the Arduino boot loader but if you need to reprogram the device then you may need to dissemble before doing so. Four stars rather than five only because of the connector issue. ## Frequently Bought Together - SunFounder 2560 Case Enclosure Transparent Gloss Acrylic Computer Box Compatible with Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3 R3, Genuino Mega 2560 Rev3 (Mega 2560 Board not Included) - ELEGOO MEGA R3 Board ATmega 2560 + USB Cable Compatible with Arduino IDE Projects RoHS Compliant - ELEGOO 120pcs Multicolored Dupont Wire 40pin Male to Female, 40pin Male to Male, 40pin Female to Female Breadboard Jumper Ribbon Cables Kit Compatible with Arduino Projects --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72683040-sunfounder-mega-r3-compatible-with-arduino-mega-case](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/72683040-sunfounder-mega-r3-compatible-with-arduino-mega-case) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
