Boogie Board Basics Reusable Writing Pad - Digital Drawing Tablet, LCD Writing Pad with Instant Erase and Stylus Pen - Perfect for Writing, Drawing, and Note-Taking

Amazing and simple tool to reduce the waste of writing things on a post-it note, only to throw it away later. This can take the place of thousands of post-it notes for short term holding. And after 8 years, the battery died in it and it stopped erasing. But the BATTERY IS USER SERVICABLE. You can take the 4 small screws off the back, and replace the CR2025 battery in it. Easy enough. Now it's can probably go another 8 years. Not sure why the Boogie Board company just didn't advertise from the start that the CR2025 is user replaceable with a tiny screw driver.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it. It's been two days and she can't put it down. Like most kids, she loves to doodle and I was burning through way too much paper. This definitely solves that problem. I think a lot of the discussions/reviews already give a good background of the device, so I wanted to write my review to address some of those things instead. 1) It doesn't have a save feature. But I knew that before I bought it. Quite frankly, its not really that big of an issue. Of the millions of art projects the kids do, how many do you actually keep anyway. Almost all of them end up in the trash anyway at some point. So having a save button is not that big of a deal. And if it ever was, in this day and age, most of us have cameras on our phones, we can simple take a picture of their design. The makers do however make another version of this item which you can save and connect up to your computer for $99. Honestly though if you are going to spend $99 on that version, you might as well kick in a few extra $$ and get a Kindle Fire or a Nexus 7. They are Android tablets that let you do SO many more things than just doodle. Plus you can doodle in full color and not just black and white. 2) Some people complain that it isn't bright enough. I'm not quite sure what they are talking about here, because I can see everything just fine. Granted, I have only used it indoors though. Maybe outside in direct sunlight may pose an issue. But that's an issue with most electronic devices, not just this one. 3) It acts just like a normal tablet. You don't need a lot of pressure to draw on it and you can improvise with your finger nails and stuff like that. Just don't use anything sharp or you'll scratch the protective coating. 4) I have the newer version. Some people have commented on the older versions having a switch to lock in your design so you can't accidentally erase it. I looked all over and could not find any such switch on the new versions. Again, this is not really an issue though for us. The erase button is positioned at the top and you need a little pressure to make it erase. So accidentally bumping the button and erasing shouldn't be an issue. 5) The new version comes with the magnets and stylus clip in the package, so if you order the newer one there is no need to purchase the extra kit. 6) I got this primarily for my daughter for random doodling, but it also works great for homework as well. I gave her a spelling test and had her write down all the words as I said them. Overall, I am very impressed with this item. If I were to do it over again, I would definitely buy it again. Its a great bang for the buck item.

Well I bought this product due to the fact that at work I go through paper post-its a lot. Most of the time with quick notes to remind me of things that come up daily. I figure this would be the perfect addition for me at work and I would save the company money by not using so many post-its. Problem is I have not taken it to work because my 6 and 3 year old have pretty much claimed it as there own. I will be buying two more one for work and the other for my home office. This is a great little product and I am very happy with it. My only problem is that I got it from Amazon Warehouse Deals and when the product came the screen portion looked like a screen protector gone wrong. There was scratches on the screen and all around the edges it looks as if has air bubbles. I do not fault the product for this and that is why I give it 5 stars. As for Amazon Warehouse shame on you for sending a product in that condition it should have never been listed for resale. Will I send it back NO its not worth Amazon losing money on shipping and myself losing time to take it back. My kids are happy to take it off my hands and they are not complaining about the imperfections. Pros: light weight slim perfect size for your desk a little bigger taller than a mouse pad stylus is very well constructed Cons: really have none, for the price you pay it is a great product Amazon Warehouse in the end I am happy with everything I have purchased in the past. This was just one of those times it did not work out well in my favor. I will continue to buy from the warehouse since you do give some incredible deals. Again kids are happy and you make returns a breeze, and I do not see the need to take it from them.

It was for my dad, he loves it

I like the boogie board overall. It is very useful as a short note "paper" eg someone giving a 9 or 12 figit number that u cannot remember & u need to jot it down. Things that could be better 1. The writing pen could have a narrower tip so the words don't have to be too big. 2. The pen holder is flimsy and moves. Needs a more robust design to how the pen.

Purchased as a gift for a wonderful senior lady who no longer speaks due to the ravages of illness. She generally shies away from technology but she uses this boogie board every day to communicate without a problem. Prior to receiving this, she utilized paper and pencil to communicate. The boogie board has the same feel as writing on paper with a pen, so she was able to use it within a few seconds of opening the box and didn't need to worry about learning any new skills to do so.

Lo compramos para la pequeña de la familia, para que hiciese sus cuentas a la hora de hacer los deberes sin consumir papel, y tanto ella como los mayores quedamos encantados con el producto. Muy recomendable.

Muy buen equipo, cumple con lo que necesito, aunque me gustaría que quizá tuviera memoria para pasar las notas a la computadora y después crear mis apuntes en un procesador de textos.
