Customer Review: Lid Broke Off Day One!
Summary: 2 Stars
I did my homework on this one. I read the previous post about the lid being flimsy, so I was very careful when I recieved the item and snapped the lid on. It went on, then once it was opened the lid came right off, so I snapped it back on and noticed the little plastic piece that holds the lid on was snapped off. Mind you there are only 2 little plastic knobs for the lid, one on each side. If one side doesn't have it, then the lid won't stay on. My son was so excited to finally get it, that I figured hey it will be fine without the flimsy lid.(and yes the lid is a very thin plastic) In hindsight I should have sent it back right then and there, but in reading the previous post they said that their kids used it just fine without the lid. Today is day 2, my son came home with it in his backpack went to use it for his homework and the screen was cracked!(obviously from not having the lid and a book or something heavy smashing it) He was so bummed! I was so bummed, and now I kick myself for not sending the darn thing back as soon as the lid broke off right out of the box!
On the bright side he really used it, and I loved not havng to spell every word for him. Now if I can just find one that has a quality hard lid that doesn't break off! I'm sure the spelling/dictionary/games are all the same, but the trick is finding one that is well made!
