Needs improvement:
No protective cover and obviously most people have the same sound problem with it. It makes a noise while pronouncing a word, specially at a higher volume. This dictionary is very sensitive to shock,it is not even safe in your backpack. If these problems are solved, I will buy the next one from Franklin again, even at a higher price, because the pros outweigh the cons. www.bigpetsupply.com www.bulkbuysonline.com
