I have an AWS AWM-600 I got from amazon.com and I'm very satisfied with it. Despite being made in China it does not appear to be Chinese quality. It weighs from 0.1 to 600g with a back lit screen. It's thin and has a closing lid, perfect for pockets. There's also an extra batter compartment for backups. It did not come with a calibration weight but I have a 10g weight from my other more accurate bullet/jewel scale and it was dead on.

The best digital pocket scales I have ever used are Tanita. My one set finally died after over a decade. I rarely had to change the batteries, they were consistently accurate, and extremely durable. I sat on them MANY times, couple times with them standing vertical in my back jean pocket, and nearly bent them. Dropped them numerous times over the years.
They can take a shit kicking and still work good , and my set weighed shit from the top of Whistler Mountain in BC, to Eastern Alberta. If you baby them, they will last you for life.

I used the 1479V version, but there is a new version called the 1479Z that is lighter weight and can handle more modes than the V version.
A little more expensive than other brands, but well worth it.

PS- order them online. Head shops are brutal for mark up.......like twice the price as online and buy a calibrating weight.

Go to your local US Post Office they have hanging scales with little clips to weigh your mail for the right postage. You just put stuff in a baggie, clip it, hold up the scale and read the where the pointer is, very old technology but works like a dream and fits in your pocket. Just a couple of bucks.
Had mine for a decade, never breaks, no batteries and no calibration required.
Edit- I should add that I wouldn't use it for a lot of weighing.

American Weigh CG2-500 Digital Scale
American Weigh CG2-500 Digital Scale with 500g Capacity
Never judge a book by its cover...or a digital scale for that matter! The American Weigh CG-500 scale appears to be a pack of cigarettes by day, but at night it transforms into the pocket scale we always knew it could be! This scale has achieved superhero status with its pocket-friendly size and out-of-this-world weight capacity of 500 grams. The American Weigh CG2 Series Digital Pocket Scale has a little brother, the American Weigh CG-500 Series Digital Pocket Scale. However, the CG2-500 is the only American Weigh cigarette case scale that has a counting feature!

FASTWEIGH on amazon, got myself a 400g scale a couple years ago for 6$, i paid 7 for overnight shipping. and its never failed me. one tip is get one that run off standard batteries ie.. AA AAA. the watch batteries are a pain in the ass to find sometimes.

I ordered one yesterday off http://www.dealextreme.com
Its 7$, and has 100g - 0.01g accuracy. So it can weigh 10mg`s hopefully, it hasn`t arrived yet.
My one is: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/portable-pocket-digital-scale-100g-0-01g-2-aaa-52541 for $6.90 and works with 2AAA batteries. It also AUTOCALIBRATES!
This one is damn good too:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultra-mini-pocket-digital-scale-200g-0-01g-1-cr2032-52512
Don`t bother paying for brands, its not worth it. They have this one which is the size and looks exactly like a zippo lighter, weighs 200g-0.01g but works on an CR42 battery. However, its only 10.80 and looks pretty good!
A user rated it 5 stars for everything and 3 stars for price. He said the battery doesn`t last too long but the one I bought works on AAA`s.
I also bought: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/45x-microscope-endoscope-with-2-led-illumination-3-lr927-22831 Pretty good 45x pocket microscope for 3.50$ (for mushroom sporeprints and various hobbies)
My advice is don`t buy anything before visiting dealextreme!

Thought I'd show you what a mechanical postal scale looks like. They are accurate enough for me, my friends are amazed at how accurate it is. Cost about $6

What I liked is you can just throw it in the glove box with a few envelopes and a couple of stamps and you're covered. Especially, if you have the receipt from the USPS.
But, if you need to be very careful then you do need throw aways.
