We just got our Boogie Board in the mail today, and we absolutely love it! The thing is, the negative reviews on this product *do* make good points. The screen is not remarkably bright (it is obviously not backlit) and there is no way to save the work you have created- it is very truly a high-tech whiteboard. At the same time though, there are things to love: The boogie board is amazingly thin and is well-constructed. It comes with a pretty nice stylus, and the screen is *VERY* sensitive, I was shocked at how accurately it registers your penstrokes.
The key to loving this product is in your own use. It really is not a replacement for paper. I can see it used to doodle or sketch, create shopping lists, and write the odd note. We will be keeping ours in the kitchen so my wife can write down a shopping list, and using it to take down a phone number in a hurry or a little scribbled note, or quick reminders. I used four magnets and superglued them to the back so the Boogie Board will stick on the fridge perfectly.
We love our boogie board so far, and I think you will too: just be aware of what it is good for and what it isn't good for, and you should get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

I work as a tech support agent for a large and impersonal company. As such, I am inundated daily with calls from individuals seeking assistance with computer-related issues.
The first thing I do on each call is ask the customer some basic info., such as account #, which I scribble onto a sticky note or piece of scrap paper.
It doesn't take long for these scraps of processed tree pulp to pile up, filling my waste can and/or littering my desk. What I need, and what I got with this product, is a reusable writing surface, instantly erasable.
The writing is a semi-fluorescent green, not hard to read in average light, and erasure is as simple as pushing the button on top of the pad. The device is sturdy, reliable and just plain fun to use.
So why only 3 stars? Two things:
1.) Sometimes I have to save a customer's info. until later in the work day, when I have time to process an order they placed or make a change in their account. When this happens I have to whip out good old fashioned paper and write down what I need to know.
The Boogie Board, alas, can't help me in this situation, simply b/c there is no save function. If there were I could toss away the sticky note pad for good. As it is I've got one foot in the 21st century and the other in ancient Egypt, with Pharaoh's scribes forming letters on papyrus as the Nile flows lazily by.
2.) The stylus they included is wonderful, except for one gaping flaw. It can't be attached to the board. To someone as prone to losing things as I am this is a serious defect.
Personally I would like it to have one of those plastic coil thingies like the pens in the post office are attached to. But even a simple clip would be much better than what it has now, which is nothing at all.
I visited the company website and found out that a model with a save function is in the works. I'm glad to hear it. As long as it also features a loss-proof stylus I'll happily purchase one. In the meantime I'm sticking with yellow squares of paper and blue ink; not very high-tech but for now the best I've got. Hopefully that won't remain the case for too terribly long.

I have very much enjoyed this device. It is incredible how it works, and is always a joy to use. I have found it hard putting it down for too long. It definitely is a great paper saver, and also is a good motivator--I write down tasks which I need to do on it, and I know I can not clear the device until I do them (so I get them done earlier rather than later).
Some comparisons and notes:
- The device is almost exactly the same size as a piece of standard computer paper folded top to bottom.
- The device is as thin as a stick of gum (those trident pieces which come 18 to a pack) for the writing area, then about 2x that size for the top portion (where the button is).
- The writing is darker than the images show, but is still clear (especially under better lighting).
- Writing on the tablet feels very natural. It is not perfectly smooth, but is similar to writing with a pencil on paper.
- The included stylus does not have the finest tip, though if you write lightly, you can have thin enough lines to fit plenty of text on the device.
- The battery should last through 50,000 clears. Meaning that if you clear the device ~137 times a day, it will last for a full year, ~68 times a day = 2 years, ~46 times a day = 3 years, ~34 times a day = 4 years, ... At that rate, the device will last longer than you will even hope it lasts. I have had the device for a few days, and have trouble even clearing it more than 10 times a day.
The device is made of plastic, and feels pretty fragile, but as long as you do not bend it, or put too much weight on it, the device will definitely last.
For the price, I am very pleased with my purchase, and I will continue to be looking at iMPROV ELECTRONICS products in the future.

One little thing missing
I really like this thing, but the one little thing missing is an anchor on the board to tether the stylus. Other than that, it's a fun little writing pad!

Great Tablet!
It is a practical all day work use. It is a very good product. The only thing is that you can't save your drawings or information but I bought it knowing that.
