has nice cover that snaps on to the front to protect screen and buttons when not in use and thrown in her bag at college.

The protective cover easily snaps on the back when in use, or back over the front when not in use

-Keys have good tactile feel and register every press (as opposed to a lot of other competitors)Cons:-Funky cover, (clip on vs. slide) but not a big issue at all

He did say the cover was a little annoying to take off and put on, but he's satisfied with everything else

The cover is a pain to taken on and off, though.

In case you haven't noticed, the Casio FX-115ES scientific non-graphing calculator is clearly superior and performs many functions that are omitted on the TI-30XS.Pros: Affordable scientific calculator, dual-power supply (Solar and battery), TI interface (intuitive for existing TI users), nice displayCons: Funky hard-cover (doesn't slide in place like all other TI calculators), lack of a large number of important features

My screen finally got a dead spot after several years of not using the protective cover

Good school calculator but my son lost the cover.

Stepping down to this hunk-o-junk made me realize just how much I like my 84.

I have the TI-84 plus and my teacher recommended this cheap-o calc for a college course.
