So back in December, Arduino SRL (the ones from Italy (Arduino.org)) held a christmas contest. The contest was to design something Arduino based, I entered a prototype 3D printer controller I designed around the DUE. I did not win the competition but for my participation I was awarded an UNO WiFi board and a "Developer Edition" one at that. I thought I'd snap some unboxing pictures and share them here, in the future I will post a page with my thoughts on the board after I play with it more. So Here we go

Charming congratulatory letter

Developer Edition, complete with fancy packaging sticker, like a true nerd I preserved this sticker by opening the other side of the box, hey its not often you get something special like this.

Unboxed! The big surprise was the included case/holder for the board itself. I think its a wonderful addition to be included, and I really hope Arduino.cc takes note and comes out with a similar included case. Also the manufacturing quality of the board is superb, its amazingly clean!

Side labels printed on the headers themselves, no janky stickers that peel off and get lost.

Closer shot of the board itself.

Bottom view of the case, its got mounting holes, ventilation, and holes for screws to go through the case, the board, and any shields you may have.

Good impression so far, I'll see how well it works, I really wanna give the new IDE and software from Arduino.org a try. I have to say the highlight of this kit over the others I have gotten in the pas was the nice acrylic case. this is something all makers of dev boards should spring for, its simple and cheap injection molded plastic and goes a long way in my book. anyways hope people enjoy this unboxing.
