This calculator does the job for what I need. No batteries needed and it is solar powered. Only problem I have is the cover case. It is not slide in / slide out cover cases like most calculators. It is more of a snap it on / snap it off. Other than that it does help protect it from dust and getting the screen scratched.

Ugh, I just opened this calculator and I'm sorely disappointed. I wish I had read the reviews more carefully, particularly the 2 and 3-star reviews. I bought this calculator because it was one of the bestselling basic calculators and had a 4-star average. I wish I had read the lower star reviews a bit more carefully. Like several other reviewers have noted, the main problem with this is the keypad. I just tested the calculator with a few basic calculations and it frequently does not register a key strike. I bought this calculator so I could do basic math for my tests, and there's no way I'm going to rely on this calculator because it's very easy to hit a key, think you punched in a number that doesn't register, leading to a wrong answer. It's entirely unreliable.I got this calculator because it was relatively inexpensive and fit my needs, but I will end up spending more money just to buy another calculator that actually works properly.

I've bought this calculator 2x because its the only ones they sale around here and both times I've been so disappointed. The keys suck and sometimes you'll hit a number and it wont even registar. I HATE THIS THING!

As I said in the title. The picture is a blue one, but I received an orange one.

I didn't take math my senior year of high school and didn't know where my calculator was when I started college. I bought this one because it was cheap, compared to the TI 83 that I wanted. I used it for 2 years before it was damaged (my fault, not a product defect).I bought a cheap calculator to replace it and have been very disappointed. I plan on getting another calculator like these before my statistics class next semester.

Good price, product received as described. This is a great calculator for middle school and high school students. I also bought one for my elementary school child.
