Casio SL-200TE Solar DualLeaf Pocket Calculator, Sep 14 2005

I was looking for a pocket calculator with a lid to keep out dirt and dust and protect the keys that also is capabable of withstanding some rough use.
This is a very nice calculator. Exactly fits the bill. It's basic without square root or other trig functions but for $10 it's a solar powered calculator that should last a very long time.

I already have one, for my briefcase, and just ordered another one for my desk. I searched for a long time to find a good quality little calculator with a snap-close cover and this one fit the bill perfectly. Not only does it work very well, but it is attractive and the buttons are a nice size. The LED screen is also nice and large. Two thumbs up for Casio on this one!

OK_ but slightly big for an "ideal travel" calculator, Mar 24 2009

This Casio 200TE folding pocket calculator is OK.
Pros:
Nice slim/Sleek design. It's Big enough if you need to see large numbers and you will Not lose it in a bag or pocket. The real dimensions in the (closed position) is about 4.5" x 5" (Amazon has the wrong dimensions listed- theirs may be the package sizing, Not the product)
Cons:
I would not consider it "Travel" size. I have the folding Casio SL-100L (Now this is a travel calculator!) It will fit into your hand bag, shirt/pants pocket, etc with ease. Closed Dimensions are about 2" x 3.5". Both the 200 and 100 are basic calculators. The screens are both the same size. The 200 has bigger buttons & frame.
-Although the 200TE is advertised as having a Tax & Exchange rate feature, it is Unnecessary! It takes the same number of button pressing to calculate tax or an exchange rate as it takes to press the codes. You are only multiplying or dividing. If you had to convert between 3 different currencies (1 being the U.S.), all within the same exact session, on a daily basis, perhaps it could save you "some" time ~1 less button press.
When it comes to travel, the more compact 100 does the trick. Amazon's price at (9.99) is a little on the higher end than what I found, but the risk is not finding it in the store.
