Reviews at Amazon are very good.  This reviewer said:

I’m a biologist and I bought a couple of these to take outside and look at certain parts of plants. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something that I’d probably end up breaking or losing. So far I’m happy with my choice. The scope is TINY. Smaller than I was expecting, but in a good way. The magnification is nowhere near 45x, probably closer to 20x. That being said, it provides all the magnification I need and the LED light is extremely useful. Durability-wise, it feels a bit flimsy (made of plastic, not metal, made in China) but it’s held up to a couple weeks sharing a pocket with a camera and cellphone.

Overall, this is a small, cheap scope. It’s definitely worth the money, especially if you’re like me and tend to lose and break things.
