Boogie Board Jot Reusable Writing Tablet 8.5" LCD Screen Instant Erase Stylus Pen Magnets Kickstand - Writing Drawing Digital Notetaking Gray

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.

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!

Summary: Even I they were the same price, I would prefer and recommend the off-brand for drawing/doodling and for kids . I prefer the BoogieBoard for writing/notes and will buy the BB again for myself if this one breaks. I bought the off-brand for my kids (5 & 2) because my older one is always wanting to use my BoogieBoard. I compared the two. Differences: Regardless of which stylus I use, the off-brand creates thicker lines than the BB (see first two pics) and the edges of the off-brand lines aren't as well-defined. The off-brand is more sensitive (resting my hand while I wrote created more artifacts than on the BB--see middle two pics). It also shows slightly more of the stroke pattern (see last two pics). BB has magnets on the back, and the off-brand one doesn't. The BB didn't come with a plastic tether to attach the stylus if you want (though it can be purchased and attached). The BB --might-- be a little darker black, making the writing stand out more, but it might be my imagination. Similarities: The brightness is about the same. I felt like BB was brighter, but when I put them side-by-side, they were the same. It might have seemed different because the BB lines are more defined along the edges. Both have replaceable batteries. The flexibility of the plastic is practically the same.

My 4 yo daughter loves this thing! She practices writing her letters and asks how to spell different words on it. Great to have at a restaurant or waiting room to keep a preschooler entertained. Love that this one has a magnet on the back so I can stick on the fridge as a grocery list if needed! One star off because I have smaller versions of these that seem brighter to me - I wish this was the same.

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

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.

Brighter than most.

It works. Compared to the original (not the Jot, but the original original), I'd say it's worse. * Yes, the screen is brighter, but it seems to have a lesser viewing angle. So it gets darker faster based on how it's tilted or where you are. * The stylus holder is pretty bad. It's really hard to remove it. if the board is flat on a surface (wall, desk, etc) it's pretty much impossible to get it out (unless you're like me and tied a string through the loop to pull it out). There is no grip space on either end and the pen is as thick as the holder. The original Boogie Board had a perfect slide-clip. * As far as I can tell, there's no draw-locking. the Original BB had a removable sliding pen clip that also acted as an anti-erase feature, just slide it over the button. It had a good grip. * The stylus itself it quite good. Nice fine point. * The screen has an interesting feel. It feels like writing on paper on a wood desk. The original was super smooth. Not sure which I like more. * Strong magnets. it won't slip. It'd be a lot better if the stylus holder was just a clip on 1 side for easy removal, like the Original.

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.

die Anschaffung schlecht hin. Wer kennt nicht die Zaubertafeln. diese ist eine, Superflach, 2 Magnete um sie am Kühlschrank oder wo anders zu befestigen. es gibt eine Handy app mit welcher man das geschriebene auf weißem Grund gut digitalisieren kann. leider ist die app noch ein klein wenig unausgereift. ansonsten der Beste Begleiter für den Kühlschrank um die nächsten Einkäufe zu planen.

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.

I had been wanting to get this for my son for a while and finally decided to give it to him as an add-on to his birthday this past weekend. He loves doodling on it and it erases at the touch of a button. It is not as bright as it said, and some reviews said it wasn't, but I hoped it would be. It's fine really for a kid to play on but this is really lightweight and seems fragile. I am contemplating getting a cover case for it just to be on the safe side. The price was right at $27.99 for this colour. I really did not want to pay $40 for it as I had seen at some places. I am hoping my son takes it in the car for long rides. He doesn't like to watch movies or play video games because he gets car sick. This might keep him busy but we'll have to wait for the next long distance car ride.
