Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Casio SL-100L Solar Calculator with Folding Hard CaseCustomer Review: Best Small Folding Calculator Around Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Size is the number one factor along with the ability to fold (Folded it measures 3.5 inches by 2 1/8 inches.)
The folding feature protects the LCD which is prone to crack on other calculators that don't have the hard folding cover like this Casio SL-100L. (I know this too well as I have destroyed quite a number of other calculators that had and didn't have folding covers.)
Ability to use both solar and battery is another major factor that makes this a top-notch calculator.
Your ability to do most any sort of common everyday calculation on the Casio SL-100L is another major plus. With the huge 8 digit display you can go up to 99,999,999. That's some serious numbers if you're talking money.
The ability to change the battery yourself is another major plus however you will need a rather very small screwdriver. This calculator can be found for very cheap so in reality if you don't want to deal with it you can just toss it and buy another one. Sometimes they can be hard to find because they sell out quickly. This is a testament to just how really great this little calculator is. Whether you keep it in your purse or pocket you never have to worry about damaging it though SITTING on it will probably crack the LCD. The batteries are insanely cheap. I bought a ten-pack on Amazon for $2.79 with shipping free. (Battery number: LR54/LR1130)
It comes with ridiculously easy to understand instructions on the back of the blister packaging paper card.
Easy to read 8 digit display (and I have pretty bad eyes.)
Large easy to read buttons.
Clip holds the folding calculator closed when not in use.
Lays flat on a desk or table with the display on top and the keypad below on the other half.
I've had this Casio SL-100 for years and years. They last a long time. (Update: Another reviewer AFTER me had theirs for 8 years before having to replace it.)
Disclaimer: I do not work for Casio.
Cons: Wished they came in more colors.
This calculator will pay for itself many, many times over. Whether shopping or doing business calculatons you will thank yourself for having this little Casio SL-100L in your pocket. I have corrected countless screwups by waiters and waitresses who think that people don't check (that's because many people don't.) I calculate my tip with it and always give exactly the right percentage (according to the level of service or course.)
You can't go wrong with this calculator. I know it's JUST a calculator but life in modern society is deeply entrenched in numbers so make sure the numbers are in YOUR favor...always !
