You know the deal I tell you about the product then provide some pros and some cons.
I made the purchase because of minimalist DMs. They would talk about this product but never shown it in action. I did just that. Created a fast map, IYKYK I folded it up completely and used the case as an eraser.
Pros.
It is indeed a 1in square grid. This is a sore spot for many battle mats, you'll be happy to know not here.
The image actually stayed on the Noteboard after being folded up. I thought it might smudge a little from contact but it didn't.
The case actually did work ok as an eraser. However just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Cons.
I felt the Noteboard could use one more row for width, but after using it on the table it's OK. Who knows maybe one more row would allow it to fit into a pocket.
The cost here is one that needs to be said. You can get actual whiteboards cheaper than this, even some foldable battle mats come around this price range. I'll let you decide if it's worth it. To me the price is a little high even for today's economy.
The biggest con in my opinion is the constant branding. You are hit with it on the carrying pouch, the included marker, and even on the grid portion of the board wasting 4 inches covered with a barcode patent pending. Why is this even here? IMO a simple business type card with this information would have been enough and probably cheaper than plastering the brand all over. This makes me less likely to want to show people. A simple black pouch would have been great, the waste of a gameboard sucks when it's already compact.
The concept here is great and has much potential. The execution however is meh.
