    I bought this item for my 8 year old as kind of a doodle pad so she didn't waste so much paper. The fist one I bought was great, worked for about a week then stopped erasing. I replaced the batteries but it didn't matter. So I took it back and got another one. It was great too until the one week mark and it stopped erasing. I won't buy again.

    Got this drawing surface for several reasons, including keeping a running list of things I needed to buy, tracking life totals while playing games, practicing writing/drawing as if it were scratch paper, or doing math while working on homework. It's as simple as can be, elegantly designed, easy to use, what more could you want. Cheap as well.

    Lightweight and Convenient

    Probably my favorite aspect of this device is how lightweight it is. It doesn't add any extra weight to a backpack. I bought this because I write out a lot of math problems for some of my classes, and for test reviews I was using sheets and sheets of paper. This allowed me a convenient (and fun) way of working out the problems. The screen is very responsive, the pen is comfortable in the hand. The only thing I do wish it has is something like bluetooth to share the writing to your phone instead of using your camera to take a photo of the screen. I realize that would add weight and bulk, and make the battery last a lot less, but it would be such a great addition for a higher end product. Overall, though, for what it *is* and not what it *isn't*, I love the product and well worth the price!

    Tablet is easy to use. Love the quick erase and the magnets are a nice perk. Only drawback, impossible to read in low light.

    I bought one for daily to-do lists for myself and discovered the rest of my family wanted to use it regularly as well. I ended up buying one each for them for xmas presents. For me, it's handy for reminding me of all I want to accomplish each day, and just wipe it out when I've done, to be used again the next day. I like not using paper, or needing to recharge a device every other time I use it.

    Great for Short-Term Notes

    Very top of screen doesn't work right, otherwise okay. The pen makes a smooth, thin, precise line across the entire screen EXCEPT along the edge where the button is. This part of the screen is different. When I touch the pen to that edge, it makes thick lines and writing on that edge is ineligible. Other than that 1/2 a centimeter, there are no functionality problems. I work in a call center where this is super helpful for taking notes on each customer's concerns. I'm able to hit a button to have a clean slate for the next customer. It's also great for doodling fun during down time.

    Perfect for quick note taking or even in the car. Can keep the little ones busy. No more using or looking for paper. Easily erases with the touch of a button. one can always say they can just put notes in your phone, but it takes time to open up your phone, go to your notes, or wherever and then type in what you need to. Believe me, this is much much quicker.

    This is a really clever product. I bought it on impulse and now plan on buying one for each of my grands. It is an excellent teaching aid. It lets them take notes, practice writing, solve problems and draw easily without pen or paper. A quick press of the home button and your notes are erased. No dials, switches or even batteries to change. And what a blessing for the environment: no paper saves trees. Using the pen on the pad feels like writing with ink on paper. Much less resistance than using chalk on a chalkboard. Excellent value for little cost.

    I really like this because I can keep it on the fridge with the magnets on back or leave it on the kitchen island like a piece of paper. Push a button and all previous notes disappear. You can also write on it with a fingernail. The only thing I would change is how the stylus is held to the jot board. It is hard to get out unless you are actually holding the board.
