This TI-30X IIS was manufactured by Kinpo Electronics, Inc. for the Office Depot sales chain. It was released for the Back-to-School 2010 campaign together with its pink sibbling and the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition in pink and black.

An identical design was sold in July 2010 by retailers Fred Meyer, Meijer and Shopko.

Disassembling this model of the TI-30X IIS manufactured in April 2010 reveals a well known internal construction. We discovered already in 2004 with Inventec Shanghai, Kinpo Electronics, Inc. and Nam Tai Electronics, Inc. three different contract manufacturers for the TI-30X IIS.
