The more of a hobbyist you are, the more safe you might want to keep your boards. Protecting them from dust and filth is essential. You don’t want to spend money on your boards just because you were too lazy to take care of them.
So you recently bought an Arduino board and now want a case for it? You have come to the right place for we have compiled for you a list of best cases for Arduino that you can store your Arduino in.
10. Arduino Mega Case Enclosure by SB Components ($12.25)
Designed specifically for Arduino Mega 2560. The case snaps around the Arduino board. It has small windows that provide access to all the ports of Arduino.
This case is worth the money. The case is made up of 2 pieces i.e The top of the case and the back plate. This way you can quickly gain access to the whole board. There are slits on the case which do not prevent debris from entering. Sturdy and secure with integrated ON/OFF switch.

8. SB Components Arduino Mega Case ($7.99)
The case specifically designed for Arduino Mega 2560. The case snaps around the Arduino and has an integrated switch for turning ON and OFF. It can’t be used with the shield because of no space!
You can leave the top on if you use extra-long headers so they slip through the slits and plug onto the board’s headers.
Recommended for self-contained Arduino projects.
Available here.
7. GeauxRobot Arduino Mega Enclosure Case Box Clear ($10.99)
This case is compact and solidly built for Arduino Mega. The reset button resides outside hence it is easy to access. The case also has rubber feet so it does not slip. A guide to assembling it step by step is included. The acrylic comes with a peel-off plastic. The board does not screw itself with the case but suspends inside the case.
Overall a great buy.

6. Arduino Uno & Ethernet Shield Transparent Acrylic Case ($12.95)
Glossy and transparent shield for Arduino UNO and Ethernet Shield. This case comes unassembled in 6 pieces. Precisely machined and made using high-quality acrylic. The box assembles easily although there are no instructions.
“The front panel with the connector openings may be removed to get the boards in and out. The power jack may be slightly misaligned relative to the opening in the box, apparently due to variability in its position on the PCB.” – Amazon customer review
The case can be fragile too. But once together, it holds on nicely.
Available here.
5. Uno Case Enclosure by SB Components ($8.99)
