I purchased this pencil holder because it offered a thermometer and in the photo it looked sturdy. When I received it I noticed it was all painted plastic. I took good care of this and all of a sudden after 3 months the buttons ceased to work and I could not set the time anymore.When I went to check what was going on, I noticed the batteries leaked and somehow damaged the device. When I inserted the batteries again (correct polarity) all digits on the screen went on and the device finally died. [...]

About the " Victor PH-500 Pencil Holder with LCD Display, Condition: New" : There is no icon for alarm on/off on the display. I'm pretty sure it has had the icon for it, but I doesn't show on the display. The numbers for month are also gone. It looks like a malproduction or a used pencil holder. Overall, I'm not satisfied with this deal. however, I'm not gonna take time sending it back to them.

I bought this despite the bad reviews because it was exactly what I needed. I thought I'd take my chances. Right out of the box, I noticed what appeared to be a smudge in the lower corner of the display which, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a portion of the "liquid" from the LED display pooled in the corner. It disappeared when I set the clock and placed it on my desk. A few minutes later I noticed that the date and time had reset to the factory original (1/1/1999 12:00). So I set it again, placed it on my desk and proceeded to place my markers in the cup holder. After a few minutes the info for the date, time and temperature disappeared, leaving only the headings on the display (MONTH, DATE, DAY) and the thermometer icon. I tried everything--pushing all of the buttons, taking the battery out, replacing the battery--NOTHING! I'm too aggravated to return it and will just add it to the list of things I had to learn the hard.
