It's a shame when we're evaluating a calc to have to stoop to complementing its slip case ;)
I bought it on a lark. Right now I use a 16C and 41C at my desk.
The 33S would be far far more palatable to me if:
- standard non-'chevron' keyboard layout;
- [Enter^] key above the numeric area along w/CHS,EEX,CLx
- larger displayed decimal point!!
Otherwise KB feel is OK.
Actually this'd be great if they packaged this calc in an HP10B-II package...

Actually several times now I got my slip-covered 33s out of my bag and found it to already be "on". The main problem is that the "on" key is too exposed down in the corner, with no protection against being pressed, which happens easily despite the slip cover. On the 15C the "on" key is protected by the ridges along the sides of the calc that are taller than the keys. Well, just a quibble there...
