It seems study and I like that it is small and the screen seems easy to read. The volume up down label could have been bigger. Yes that may sound crazy, but I don't remember all the zillion niggling details in my life and i would like a dial that clearly states in bold signage which way is up....in my lessons I teach I invariably have to lean over and take a look...I would like to save that millisecond and keep on teaching. Other than that so far so good.
