I like the fact that it has a lid. One way to ruin a scale is to leave something sitting on it. Storage space being scarce for most of us.

But - I wonder about how small it is....and the capacity for weighing things. I think this would be great for weighing smaller ingredients...and curing salts - accurately.

I have one similar to this and it works great. The description says it measures in Oz, Troy OZ, Grams and Grains --1000g in .1 gram increments. (35 oz)

I think that scale is typically used for measuring "herbs" and "powders".... ;)

Those are great little scales.
I have one (same brand but just a little different) that I use to measure my baking ingredients & it works great.

They also have another version of that scale that weighs 200 grams with a resolution of 0.01 grams (1/100th of a gram) for $9.  I would go with the higher resolution model for spices and cure.  For meats, I would go with a larger scale like the UltraShip 35 (35 pounds) or the UltraShip 55 (55 pounds max weight).

  High-Precision Accuracy: 0.01g (0.001oz) to 200g.
  Built with high precision sensor system, the Ascher pocket scale provides you with instant and accurate results from 0.01g (0.001oz) to 200g.
  Practical Design: Its stainless steel platform, tactile easy touch buttons, large size digits, and stark contrast LCD blue backlight display, make the measurements easy to read.
  Flip-open lid keeps the delicate weighing surface protected when not in use.
  It is an ideal product for food, condiment, jeweler and laboratory, can weigh the minimal things of the same class like Gold, Silver, Coins, jewelry, Gems, chemical agent and more.
  Featuring 6 different weight modes: g / oz / ozt / dwt / gn / ct for easy weight translations, tare function for net determination and a 60 second auto shut off to preserve battery life.
