The good: cheap; digital display makes it easy to read (although it FEELS weird, like going from an analog speedometer to a digital one, your brain has to interpret the numbers, it can't just "feel" the measurement); looks cool; comes with a snazzy, well-padded, although all-plastic, case; pretty accurate (see below); new.
The bad: not as smooth as the Mitutoyo (I never considered the Mitutoyo "smooth," but it's WAY smoother than the iGaging); the box that houses the electronics is too large (it isn't svelte like the analog, its boxy in a big-boxy way); quality of materials and craftsmanship, including case, is a notch lower.
Why it comes with a spare battery I don't know. I hope it doesn't eat batteries like I do Gummy-bears or we're in for a short honeymoon.
I measured a stock piece of cylindrical material used to test and calibrate measuring tools. I guess it's 1/8". Both the analog Mitutoyo and the digital iGaging measured identically: .1265. Now, I KNOW 1/8"=.125, but maybe that is operator error, or maybe the temperature of the materials, but at least both machines were the same. I also tried measuring using different parts of the iGaging calipers' jaws and the reading was identical the entire length. I'm not sure how much more you could ask for, other than the buttery smoothness of the Mitutoyo, but for what it costs, I don't think this tool can be beat.
First, let me address the quality. It seems to be of pretty good quality. It is sturdy and moves easily (doesn't get stuck when trying to open or close). The digital readout is big and is extremely easy to use. There is a red button under the digital readout that you can push to turn it on or off, but it also automatically turns on when you slide it open. You can set the zero on it to any point which might come in handy for people that want to measure from a larger point (like comparing the exact same items to see if there is a difference or something).
The case is OK... It is sturdy and it doesn't feel like it will break easily. It is plastic, but not a thin plastic. My only complaint about the case is that it looks like a tool case! haha. I will have to add some color to it and make it look less like something my husband might want to steal. It is also a little difficult to open at times for me but perhaps that's because I'm used to the easy girly tools. ;)
There was a battery already installed and an extra one in the case. It uses a LR44 button cell which is VERY common in kids toys so I have a huge backup of batteries for this thing. Those batteries tend to be rather expensive if purchased from a local store for some reason. They are often times seen in watches and that's usually the department we would find them in when we used to shop for them. I actually found them cheaper on Amazon and ordered 100 batteries for less than the price of 2 at the local store. So, maintaining the battery for this should not cost a lot of money.
I have one major complaint with the design of this and it has to do with the battery compartment. I realize that there is a spot to put your thumb to slide the blades open for use, but I tend to put my thumb directly onto the top which is where the battery compartment is. So, I almost always slide the cover off. I don't know why I do this and it probably has to do with the fact that I use other items that require that type of maneuvering, but it IS something that I do and other people might as well. Although it doesn't technically hurt anything to do that, the battery can (and will) pop right out of there if you don't catch yourself when you are doing it. For the most part I don't have problems with that happening, but I'm confident it will at some point. If there is any chance of this getting redesigned in the future, I would make it slide a different way so there is very little chance of accidentally sliding that cover off at all. It's a little irritating but not so much that I regret the purchase... because I really like this caliper!
As for the price, I think it is well worth the money that I paid for it. I'll be using it like crazy to give some accurate measurements of items that I have seen incorrect information on and it will save me time and money on products that I try to create with my different machines. All I have to do is keep it away from my husband now!

Me ha desconcertado que ni en el embalaje, ni en pequeño impreso de instrucciones, aparezcan referencias de la marca más allá del nombre y el logotipo. Me he informado en internet y NEIKO es una marca China de herramientas conocida, especialmente en EUA (que también fabrica en Taiwan). Buena relación calidad-precio.
