Sharp EL243SB Handheld Calculator with Hard Cover

My old calculator bit the dust and I needed a new one for balancing my checkbook. I purchased this one solely on other customer's reviews. It does an excellent job of calculating. It's not as comfortable in my hand as my old one, but I can always lay it on the desk while using it. I'm very satisfied for the amount of money I paid.

This is a very good little Calculator and it's Hard Shell really helps to protect it. I really enjoy mine.

I needed a lightweight calculator to compare prices of different packaged items where no price per ___ is displayed.

For the price, it seems pretty good and with the cover, I'm hoping it will protect it while in my purse from getting damaged... but then I've only used it a few times, we shall see what happens when the battery runs out...am hoping that when I use it in the store, the flurorescent lighting is mimicking sunlight and the solar part is kicking in.

Need a calculator that fits snugly into the palm of your hand? This is one. The LCD display clearly shows the numbers in most lighting. The rubberized keys make for non-slipping of data entry. This device easily fits into a pocket.

It's a good calculator for a good price. The cover protects the keys and folds flat to the back when open, so it's out of the way. It has all the basic features and it's small. Just what I was looking for.

I bought this calculator for use at home with balancing the check book. It is a good product, I like the cover that goes over the keypad.

This small size Sharp Pocket Calculator for it's size performs like a giant. Manipulating the keys is done easily and the projected numeral figures on the calculator screen are large and sharp to read. I can carry the calculator in my shirt pocket. I would recommend this calculator to anyone who needs a small, pocket, hand held, calculator for basic math calculations, for everyday, life style, occurrences. This calculator does a man size job, anywheres, for the quality and price while going about your daily activities.

My son uses this at school. It is heavier weight (better quality) than most, and has lasted nine months. More than I can say for anything else he takes to school!

I had to have this for clinicals and classes, it's perfect. Fits right into the pocket on your scrubs without interfering with everyhing else a nurse has to manage! The only complaint is with Amazon...I paid extra for shipping and it took 2 weeks to get even though they said it was in stock.

It works fine and is easy to carry in a purse. It doesn't take up any room.

Decent little calculater for basic needs. Inexpensive and shipped free whith some other items I had ordered.

For the price I think this is a good calculator that has a large screen, decent size buttons, and can fit into your shirt pocket with ease. The cover snaps closed quite securely.

I love this Sharp calculator.. I had a cheap one that lost half its display so I looked on Amazon to find something small, reasonabley price and there it was... Simple with a solar window and sharp 8 digit display. Bonus was the hard cover so I can put it in my purse to take it to the store. Nice. Thanks Amazon.

If you want a VERY BASIC, SMALL calculator that only adds, subtracts, divides, and multiplies, and has a memory, square root key, plus/minus key, and percent key, this is the one to get. Most important is that it has a CE ("Clear Entry") key: If you're adding or subtracting a lot of numbers and enter an incorrect value halfway through, you can delete it from the display by pressing CE without disturbing the calculations that you've already done. NEVER BUY A CALCULATOR THAT DOES NOT HAVE A CE KEY, because if you enter a wrong number somewhere along the line, you'll lose all your work when you press the only Clear key, which clears everything! (As you can tell, I made this mistake.) The buttons are a good size (not too small or too large), the calculator takes up very little room on a desk or in a purse or briefcase, and it calculates quickly. The cover is attached and unobtrusive if you just want to leave it on a desk. I've only had this calculator for a few days, so I can't say how long it will last, but at this low price I'd have no problem replacing it once a year if necessary.

I bought 4 of these calculators so I can keep one handy on every floor of the house and in the garage. It isn't a fancy calculator, but it adds, subtracts, divides and multiplies faster than I can do it in my head. I'm sure it has some additional functions that I'm not using, but not many. Anyway, the price is right!

The best thing about this calculator is that it's got a cover that latches. No, it doesn't lock, but that little hard-plastic door closes over the keypad, so when I toss it into my briefcase and head out, I don't have to worry about damage to the keypad, or the thing being turned on and staying on as a stray pen or something just keeps pushing its buttons. The main power source is light, but it's got a simple battery backup, the batteries being accessible when you pull two small philips-head screws from the back of the case.

This thing is small and mobile, and is perfect for my mobile business needs. I'm not going to be plotting spacecraft trajectories or formulating amino acid degradations today, so I don't need anything more than the basic arithmetic functions it offers (as well as %, square root and basic memory functions).

The buttons are just the right size, not so big that I feel like this thing is a learning toy for a 2 year old, or has been made for the myopic over-70 set. The buttons are big enough that I can quickly tap out my work without mashing down multiple buttons.

To conclude, if you want a small calc you can tote with you and that will not let you down by running out of power, this is the one. If you're after a reliable little machine to crank out your daily checkbook totals or to tally up the pro-rating on your timesheet entries, then this is the one you want. Recommend.

This is a great little calculator, but I mistakenly got one that is too little. I wanted a desk top and this is for the purse or briefcase. Way too
small! Otherwise it is great and works well with all of the functions one needs.

I purchased this calculator for use on my financial accounting exams in college. They require this specific calculator for use on the exams so everyone is on a "level playing field" so to speak. That being said, it must be good, right? From what I can tell, it is a good calculator. Nothing fancy though. If you want a small, easy to read/use, basic calculator this one is a good choice.
