Boogie Board Jot Reusable Writing Tablet, Includes 8.5 in LCD Writing Tablet, Instant Erase, Stylus Pen, Built in Magnets & Kickstand, Pink

Works well. Easy to write on and erase. Saves on paper.

I've had one of these for more than 10 years when I found one at a bookstore. It's become my main sticky-note replacement for those 10 years of abuse, travel, boredom in meetings, and having different mounting methods in my notebooks. I've NOT been gentle to mine and it has still lasted this last decade! But, as you can see, the bleeding from the injuries is just getting so bad that I finally got replacements. They're great for the workplace where dry-erase boards get mucky, your marker dies, or you don't want to take the time to erase it. It's not just a "kid" item. I work in a place where you can't just bring your laptop or cell phone with you everywhere, and I hate using a whole page of a notebook for quick notes that I only need to remember long enough to type them up. So this is essential for me. --- Which Item to get: I got one of the same older type, and one of the "newer" models, to compare them to each other, and I would definitely recommend the newer model. It's the one with built-in magnets and a stylus holder. It's much thinner and though the curve makes it seem less "tablet" like, it's still professional looking. The thing I love about this board is that it fits in A5-sized notebooks. I just get some sticky magnet and it will mount perfectly. This will outlast my binder if it lasts me another 10 years! --- Battery Life: The battery on my old one was never changed. It lasted daily use and multiple erases and I still don't need to replace it. It's been on planes, in hot cars, squished in my notebook and I still never worried about it. --- Durability: It's so thin yet durable that I can bring JUST this with me wherever I may need a notebook and I'm not afraid of damaging it or scratching it, but just to prevent accidental marks from travel I would get some sort of cover. The flat face of this one makes it so I can put it on to a photocopier and scan up my notes to keep them forever. --- Quality Control: I've now had three of these; the new ones have no bleeding, and the batteries work. They're "brighter" than my old one as well. No complaints. --- Overall: If you need a replacement for stacks and stacks of sticky notes that get lost or don't stick, this is so cheap yet functional in the workplace that it's been indispensable. If people are buying them for their kids, that also shows their durability and usefulness.

My 4 year old son with autism has never had any interest in coloring with crayons and he likes using pens on paper but gets really aggressive and doesn't stay on the paper. There are doodling apps for iPad but if he has an iPad in his hands (which he adores) he's going to be watching YouTube kids, not drawing with his finger. I was hoping that this device would entice him to practice his pencil holding skills and dexterity, save us going through lots of paper and pens and getting unwanted ink everywhere, and hopefully entertain him at church for a short time, haha! What I like about it is how thin and light it is! I can easily throw this in any bag and not even notice it's there. The color of the marks that appear is vivid green and very appealing. The flat pencil like stylus that comes with the board is easy to hold and manipulate for adults or children. I love that the pencil clips into place at the base of the board so you don't have to worry about it floating loose in a bag or getting lost but you still have the freedom to write uninhibited unlike with those magnetic doodle boards where the stylus is attached by a string. My son likes that it appears somewhat like an iPad and he can push the "home button" to erase and start over as often as he wants. A few things to note: - Yes it is battery operated (1 3V comes pre installed) - No it doesn't have any sort of internal storage, connect to computers or save pictures or doodles - You can scan and save/share your images with a free app on your phone or tablet - It has magnets on the back enabling you to stick it easily to a fridge to jot down notes or display artwork or whatever. It sticks firmly enough not to be dislodged if the fridge door slams shut. That's a great feature - The screen does respond with some degree of sensitivity to the amount of pressure you push down with (see pic) - There is absolutely no delay in either the writing or the erasing. It is instantaneous - Be aware that if you write along the very edges of the screen, the lines will blur and even change color in spots (see pic) All in all this thing is very well made, compact and cool. It does what it advertises to do and does it well. I would definitely recommend! PS: I was NOT given this item free or at a discount in exchange for a review! I paid full price for it and am writing this review just because I want to help other people who are paying full price for stuff too! :D

After reading all the reviews about this unit stopping erasing after two days, I was hesitant to order. I saw they have a 1 year repair warranty so I went ahead. I've had it for about a month now, and it is working perfectly. We have a 5yo boy and a toddler girl, and they LOVE this thing. The boy has an amazon fire tablet that he likes, but when he isn't playing on that, he is practicing his letters and numbers on this. Absolutely worth $20 bucks. After seeing how good it is, I ordered another two of them for my business, and will order more when the price drops. I would advise watching the price for a while or having a site email you when it gets below $22. I use tracktor, but I suspect any of them will work. Update: 5/20/16. Well, it finally happened. The 1st board I ordered stopped erasing when the button was pressed. I changed the battery, and it still wouldn't work. I emailed the company for warranty info, and then followed up with a phone call. The guy I talked to was named Chris, and he was awesome. He sent out a new board immediately, and it arrived just a couple of days later. No trouble, no fuss, nothing. So while I was sad that the board stopped working, an email and phone call got me a brand new one. I love to see a company stand behind their product, and Kent Display certainly did that! I imagine there must have been a problem with the manufacture of certain boards, but Kent is doing the honorable thing by standing behind their product and making it right for the customer. I have purchased a total of 5 of these boards, and the rest are working well. Great customer service!

I bought the Boogie Board for my infant son to scribble on. It was a much cheaper alternative to buying a tablet. My son bangs on it, carries it around, and makes little scribbles on it. It's only down side is that you only can erase the whole board, you can't erase part of what you wrote. It has magnets on the back so you can put it on the refrigerator and use it like a white Board, so my wife and I use it as a reusable post it note. You can use the app to take a black and white photo of your work really easily if you write down a phone number you want to keep. I was surprised at how much I liked this board even though I got it for my son. It's just a well designed and simple peice of technology. It feels good to write on and hold and is an environmentally responsible way to take notes and let kids scribble on stuff. I don't have to worry about having paper in the house or my son coloring on the walls or the table. This is a great product for the price.

Every tool has its limitations, and this device is nothing different. It's an absolutely fantastic product for note-taking, especially for $20. It is very helpful and keeps me from wasting pages in my notebook for jotting down notes. A locking button would make it much better, as I have accidentally deleted notes from how I write. A quick and easy solution is to flip it over and write on it like that to avoid accidentally hitting it again. The scanning tool works well but isn't anything fancy. Most of my notes get typed up either way, so not a big deal. But does give you the option to clear the screen without losing notes if you have to. I would also like to see this with a metal cover, rather than plastic. In its current state, it feels paperweight, light, and fragile, so an added metal cover would give it some weight and sturdiness to make it feel more like a premium product. The $9 protective sleeve is worth the investment to prolong its usefulness.

Nice addition to my fridge door. During the week I am getting the todos added and the weekend will be the time to scratch them out. The only parts that needs correction are the magnets - they are too weak. I needed to add some of my own to keep them sticking to the door.

Updated: 07-31-2018 I found some blueish color on the top left (little big) and bottom right (very small) of the board. Which reduced 2 stars from my side. I contacted customer support, but they said its normal. However, I tried to connect with other consumers which say they don't have such marks. Which looks like manufacturing issue to me. Review Date: 07-30-2018 Hi, I just received the package from Amazon. I thought it's going to be late but reached on time. As expected it's was my new eWriter, but hey I was surprised to see, that Boogie board started giving free cover with this board. The board is really very bright and easy to use, the stylus looks also very professional. With the 30 minutes of use, I got love with this small but powerful product. However, I miss that it doesn't have a lock button to freeze the screen. I only think that app really need to upgrade with only use of 15 minutes I found so many issues with an app which is: (adding here so that Boogie board team can fix those) 1. Once clicked the photo and saved it. Your app redirects you to the gallery. However even if you click the new photo it shows the last clicked photo, until you do not press the cross button. 2. Auto click functionality doesn't work properly 3. Crop functionality reduces the crop area when converted to the final image. 4. Some time in manual mode it tries to capture the only screen but didn't end with good results.

c'est génial on écris, dessine, efface et recommence de puis que j'ai ma boogie board je utilise plus de papier pour noter mais idée, avec une pile on peut faire 50 000 remise a zéro (effaçage) l'avantage de ce modele par rapport a son prédécesseur c'est que l'on peut remplacer la pile. seul bémol ses que lorsque que l'on efface ses tout l'écran on ne peut pas sélectionner ce que l'on veut effacer mais pur pallier a cela il y a une application compatible android et iOS qui fait comme un imprime écran de sont ardoise numérique pour toujours en garder une traces. rapide, facile pratique et économique sont les mettre mots de ce produit

He comprado Boogie Board para mi hija de 7 años, para que pueda dibujar y escribir libremente y sin papel. Pros: - Muy ligera - Muy buena visualización - Sirve cualquier lápiz con una punta que no raye la pantalla. Cons: - La pantalla se raya con facilidad - Aspecto un poco endeble - El lápiz puede extraviarse con facilidad a pesar de tener un espacio para ponerlo. El lápiz incorpora un orificio poder poner una cuerda, pero la pizarra no incorpora ninguno donde poder atar el lápiz. - No se pueden guardar los dibujos ni las notas (ya lo sabía antes de comprar, aunque sería una mejora muy valiosa) - El precio debería ser más ajustado, ya que la funcionalidad que ofrece es muy simple - Sería bueno tener la posibilidad de impedir el borrado de un dibujo concreto (por ejemplo con un botón de bloqueo), ya que es fácil borrar accidentalmente dándole al botón de borrado.

Great product. No issues after 6 months of use. Better than other similar stuff like ruffpad. Great contrast and quality! Read description well though, erased stuff can't be recovered, no save option, etc.

Previously I bought those cheapos. Upon replacing the battery, they don't really work as well anymore. Gave up and bought the boogie board as I heard good things about it. I think the boogie board SHOULD NOT have such an issue with the battery replacement. I'm happy with how it performs.

Ich benutze das Board als Notizzettel um Lebenspunktestände beim Magic the Gathering spielen festzuhalten. Es benötigt wenig Platz, was bei engen Sitzreihen auf Turnieren praktisch ist, bietet aber genug Platz um sich weitere Notizen zum Spiel zu machen. Man erzeugt keinen Müll vor Ort. Es ist leicht, dünn und tut, wofür es gemacht ist. Es gibt eine kostenlose App, die es ermöglicht das Board mit dem Smartphone abzuphotographieren, um die Aufzeichnungen festzuhalten. Allerdings erkennt die automatische Aufnahme- und Zuschneidefunktion das Board nicht zuverlässig.
