Screen Protector

[Tim Wessman]

So far I've only heard of 3 people that ever contacted support regarding broken screens. It has been far less than we ever anticipated. Broken screens was one item we were quite concerned about before product launch. Now if that is actually due to people just not calling support because they are used to phone screens breaking...

In terms of scratches, the worst one I ever saw had a single large scratch across the screen that was quite visible. The calculator was basically destroyed after 3 years (it was part of a classroom set and looked like a badger had gnawed on it). Despite that, the screen was in remarkably good condition and not broken - just looked like someone took a switchblade across it. Why were they returning it to get a new one? Not for the scratch or because it was non-functional ... "someone" had used a screwdriver to pry one of the keys to break it off.


My personal units get dropped, tossed, have things piled on them, etc and basically after all that I've yet to scratch one in a noticeable way.

In all, I've been remarkable impressed and surprised with how little breakage or physical problems there have been. Anyway, anecdotal evidence.
