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.

dictionaries anyone?

This is a good product, will serve any future buyer well. Great transaction. Note that the word search doesn't seem to work in the quotations section. But the item has a real good dictionary.
