Here is one to avoid! It is a lot smaller than I expected. 1.5" X 2.75" When I bought it, the photo did not include a persons hand for size comparison, but it did list the dimensions in the description. I have only tried to use it once, so cannot comment on its accuracy. If you are interested in a very compact scale, I suppose it might be of use. The actual platform is 1.25" X 1.5".

I guess I'm really looking for a digital scale for the simplicity of quickly weighing things. Hundredths of a gram would be nice.
I'd go to Ebay or DX; chinese companies sell digital scales at ridiculous prices. For 10mg (hundredth of gram) range, I have been pleased with this model:

But the currently common milligram scale, similar to Gemini, is also a nice one for F1D work:
