 Lots of Fun, scratches easilyNov 05, 2007
By J. Lee
This toy has been a life saver for long trips, doctor's office visits, boring trips to the grocery store, but you should know the screen scratches really easily. Also, the cases hold so few games. we have probably 12 or 13 games, all wonderful for teaching, but you can only get two or three in the carrying cases. that being said, my son loves this game, and it beats the heck out of the mindless video games that are the beginning of brain death. cute and educational, just wish the darned thing didn't get scratched so easily.

 Buy the LeapsterNov 21, 2007
By M. Thompson
Beware of the V-Smile Handheld. I have owned two....the first one seemed to have some sort of short right out of the package. The second one seemed to work for a while, but now that it has been a year, it is no longer working at all. Meanwhile we've had the leapster for 4 years and it still works great. The Leapster feels much more sturdy, inserting and removing the discs in the V-Smile seems very iffy.

V.smile pocketSep 05, 2007
By Mr. Stephen J. Muhonen
We love this toy, however, this is our second one due to it not always working the way it should. It seems you have to use the "reset" button an awful lot. I think the concept of the game is great and the fact that you can use it in the car or hook it to your t.v. is wonderful. It is a great toy and our children really enjoy using it.

Sure, Come Out With This After V-Smile...Nov 02, 2007
By John D. Knox
Yes, my son has the V-Smile and like 6 games. Yes, he loves it - plays it every day. Yes, it's actually teaching him things.
So why am I irked that I'm buying him the Pocket version? BECAUSE, the Pocket can also be used on the T.V., so basically I paid for that feature twice: once for the original, once for the Pocket. You just KNOW they had the design and product ready before the started selling the original unit, so I just feel a bit [...]. Whatever.
This is not stopping me from buying the Pocket unit, mainly because it's so darn useful for trips and visits and all that. Truth to tell, he gets sick of DVDs after a while, and no amount of songs on an iPod will keep him interested. But these games do, so...
One thing: vTech, you had best keep the games coming for at least 3 more years (when he'll most likely upgrade to a DS like his mother), or you'll be hearing from me.

Worth the money!Nov 28, 2007
By J. Dwojakowski
We bought this for our 3 year old son and 2 years later he still plays it! What a great toy for roadtrips, eating out or visiting relatives. After about 2 years though, it's time to replace it. It malfunctions all the time and the batteries won't power it anymore. We will be getting his 3 year old brother a new one for Christmas because it is educational and entertaining for younger kids.
