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.

Amazon did not treat me right on this order. It was in stock at Anazon with no notice of 2-3 day shipping so I ordered it on my Prime account with 2 day shipping as my kid needed it for school in 5 days. Now its over one week, and it has not shipped so the other day I purchased him the same one at a local store. Amazon did something else a little disturbing, 4-5 days ago they switched the order record to non-cancel because its ready to ship so I could not cancel the order even though they apparently were not shipping. I have received good service and poor service from Amazon during the hundreds of products I have purchased from them, this product and the Amazon service rate a one star.

This Calculator would be excellent except that when you use the tax +or- feature to prepare a ticket it will give the total with the tax included but in order to enter the tax amount to the ticket you have to then subtract the total from the subtotal to find out what the tax amount was. I wish it would display the total and what the figured tax was so it could be easily transferred to the ticket. I do like the clam shell design and will probably buy another if something happens to this one.
