To be a portable set, & therefore prolly subject to being "knocked about", the CT-101 certainly is VERY flimsy. The plastic case is VERY thin, & easily broken. Mine is intact but I've been VERY careful w/it. The B/W versions seem to be a little more robust. None of 'em are as tough as the good ol' Sony 5-303 series. Those guys are steel, & built like little tanks.-Sandy G.
