This scale has a steady reading, comes with a calibration weight, and the measuring tray is almost as big as a CD so it's easy to work with. It comes with an assortment of different themed sleeves. It has a count function...for instance you could count how many marbles are in a jar with it (just don't exceed the weight limit). The display lights up nicely for weighing things in low light situations. I wouldn't call it a 'pocket scale', but this is just about as portable and much more functional than most any pocket scale.

I got one that was missing the bottom LED segment all the way across the display. It was promptly replaced with another that had no sensitivity. I'd keep putting more on, then it would jump by 7 grams all at once. I recommend the retailer, but the scale wass worse than worthless to me.

The scale is pretty cool looking and has a big bright screen, but it does not weight accurately all the time. I exchanged it once thinking I got a bad one, but the replacement did the same thing. I've tried all the recommendations, like letting sit for a while, having it on a flat surface, ect, but it still reads under (by .1) 6 out 10 times with the 1gram weight it comes with and other items like a dollar bill, and marble. It's pretty heavy so it's not worth the shipping to exchange it again or get a refund. The only thing left to try is to calibrate it, but you have to buy the weights for that. Even if it works after calibrating it, I wouldn't recommend it, I'd rather get something that will work right out of the box.

Although the dimensions are clearly written, this scale is not as small as you might expect. It is about the size of a two or three disc CD box set.

Mine did not come with a calibration weight which is apparently necessary. Because of this, I cannot comment on the accuracy of the scale.

The main gripe that I have about this scale is that the front plastic lid does not close properly. The little plastic hinges do not "lock" into place correctly because the rear of the scale plate is a bit high and a bit too far back of the case which prevents the lid from closing properly.

It's kinda bid... Way bigger and heavier then I was hoping.. And definitely wouldn't pass for a normal cd case but it's pretty legit.. Worth how much I paid.. Yes.

I received the scale in the mail Tuesday. It's pretty cool looking. However, it WILL NOT TURN ON. I have placed the batteries in the scale every way possible, and it still isn't turning on. I even went to the store yesterday to buy fresh batteries, thinking the ones the scale came with were old. Still doesn't turn on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like it to work!

Dont let the price fool you...This is a GREAT & accurate scale!
I purchased this as a gift and the person was very pleased.
