if you have an Uno kicking around loose and unprotected on your workbench, you really need one of these enclosures. You cannot beat it for the price! Pros: protects your Uno while giving you visibility of the LED's and access to the reset button and all connectors. Cons: feet are not included, four rubber feet would have been nice. The top cover sits above the shield connectors which may cause problems with shields that have short pins or long leads on the board which reduces the pin insertion length. If you load programs without the bootloader, you may have difficulties if you need access to the six pin ISP headers since the hole size may not be large enough for your plug type. Since the material is acrylic sheet, you can easily open the holes up with a file or rotary grinder. Finally, if your Uno is a clone with both the standard female headers and male pin headers for the I/O connections, the male pins are not accessable. Overall, this is a good protective box for a standalone test board but it's probably not a good idea for a long term installation, especially if the base Uno needs shields plugged in on the top surface - as it provides no protection for the shield(s).
