hmm good call.  I did see this comment though. I ordered a couple and we'll see 
how they turn out. Also apparently the 3-5 free shipping turns into 7-25 day 
free shipping at checkout :)

        is this an arduino clone?

        Hi, Rick , this one is not arduino clone.

It's a clone. The labeling in the photo doesn't match the description. It 
doesn't say Uno on the front and it is missing the branding on the back. You 
have to be careful with the clones. They aren't nearly as reliable.
For that price though, you could by 5 and hope that one or two last.

I saw these Arduino Uno R3 w/ usb cable for $5.87. 
 
Has anyone ordered from this company, or see something I'm missing as far as 
this being a true arduino? It seems fairly cheap for a non-clone new arduino w/ 
free shipping.
