I love my X4. I throw it in my backpack or pocket when I take the dog to the park and read a few pages when we sit in the shade.

been using on the back of my phone for a few months, my most satisfying hardware purchase in a long time

what phone does it fit on? I have the X3 coming today for this very reason. The x4 is just too big and the magnets misplaced to fit on any phone I own

iPhone pro max, fits nicely even with a cover, i also have a x3 but slightly prefer the bigger screen of x4’s but portability on is the read deal

Just seeing it act as a trigger to read for me, especially when book cover as standby background

I do wish I'd gotten the X4 not the X3. I was very scared off by the magnetic charger (which is apparently quasi standard?). I kind of want to muck with using the gyrometer (only on the x4) as an input device though. Allegedly the magnetic charger is somewhat common/interoperable, which de-risks the situation a lot.

I have an X4, though its not small enough to stick onto a phone (or my phone is not gigantic enough), I do love it, simplistic and purposeful

I would love if a device like this, combined with the zines of old would produce some really creative and interesting shortform content to get folks off smartphones.

I'm trying to think in terms of small wins more and 1 minute spent creating something dumb or doing something not on a phone is 1 less minute creepy, greedy tech bros can extract your data for profit.
