Pros & Cons

The case is very snug to the 2560 and it took me about 20 minutes to adjust the connectors so that they fit through the cutouts. Also, i needed to really shove and adjust some of the pin headers on my board.

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

The arduinos look much like the ones in the pictures including the unevenly soldered pins

Funny that they advertise it for stem education but the silkscreen on the mega2560 says steam
