Great 8 digit solar calculator with plastic cover…
Great to drop in messenger bag/backpack/briefcase or even carry in portfolio. 8 digits handle most calculations. Three key memory (m+, m-, cm). square root and percentage keys. Standard calculator, battery/solar powered. Good price. Should last a long time. Button size generally good fo such a compact calculator. Blue soft buttons on a light grey background.

Great basic calculator that lasts several decades
I first got this calculator model some thirty-odd years ago. It still works, I have never changed the battery, and the solar panel is great. Even after being in storage for several years, it charged up off the solar panel in the ambient light in the room and was working in a few minutes. It is thin, light weight, easily fits in a pocket or pencil case, and does the basic computations. I most recently bought this one for my toddler niece who wanted to keep my original, but I didn’t want to give it up because I still use it for quick computations at my desk, even with my (much more powerful) computer around. The display is still clear, the buttons are much more responsive than many of the “dollar store” varieties, and it has a useful memory function. Being limited to the basic four functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), this is definitely not a substitute for a scientific calculator or a graphing calculator, but if you just want to tally your bills or check your addition on your homework problem, this is just the thing. The new model is nearly unchanged and even came in a nice little protective case. My niece loves her new calculator, and it is perfect for her to learn her numbers and basic math. I hope it will also serve her well for her studies and basic computations as mine has for me for many years. Mine has certainly stood the test of time!

Great size.. to fit in a small bag_
Perfect size + hard shell case to fit in a small bag. Overall the form & function are great. I personally would prefer a black case, but this works for me.

Best pocket calculator ever
I love the size of this calculator and the hard protective cover keeps the device clear of dust and debris when packed in my briefcase or purse. The buttons are the perfect size and the display is very clear.

Ideal Calculator For Simple Operations
If you want a VERY BASIC, SMALL calculator that only adds, subtracts, divides, and multiplies, and has a memory, square root key, plus/minus key, and percent key, this is the one to get. Most important is that it has a CE (“Clear Entry”) key: If you’re adding or subtracting a lot of numbers and enter an incorrect value halfway through, you can delete it from the display by pressing CE without disturbing the calculations that you’ve already done. NEVER BUY A CALCULATOR THAT DOES NOT HAVE A CE KEY, because if you enter a wrong number somewhere along the line, you’ll lose all your work when you press the only Clear key, which clears everything! (As you can tell, I made this mistake.) The buttons are a good size (not too small or too large), the calculator takes up very little room on a desk or in a purse or briefcase, and it calculates quickly. The cover is attached and unobtrusive if you just want to leave it on a desk. After seven years, the calculator is still working fine. At this low price, I’d have no problem replacing it once a year if necessary.
