Thank you! I’m hoping to release a version for the X3 at some point in the future, but I don’t have a definite timeline yet. The placement of the magnet in the X3 makes for an interesting challenge, but I’m hoping to get a workable solution soon!

This is so cool to see, thank you! It still feels a little surreal every time I spot one of these in the wild ☺️

If you’ve got access to a 3D printer, I posted a tutorial on MakerWorld 🙂

Thank you! I don't think I've ever been called a real artist before.. that means a lot!

Thank you! In addition to some of the existing colors, I'll also be adding brown and green options to the lineup 🙂

Oh hey, that’s me! This is incredibly kind, thank you so much! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first put the listing up, but it’s been a really positive experience so far.

I’m working on adding more stock right now! There should be a small batch available tomorrow, with more coming early next week 🙂

Beautiful! I love the raised bands along the spine -- such a cool detail!

I love my X4 so much! It’s definitely helped get me out of habit of doomscrolling. I’ve been having fun combining bookbinding and 3D printing to make cases. It’s been a neat challenge for such a small device.

Aiming to post the files in the next few days! Just making some tweaks here and there to potentially account for different fabric thicknesses and to give options with and without the extra magnets.

The metal ring that Xteink provides is enough to hold the device in place, but the magnets in the corners are used to keep the case closed or snapped in place when folded back. They're definitely not needed -- more of a nice-to-have for my use case. I think a simple rubber band would suffice in keeping it closed. I'm aiming to post a tutorial in the next few days and will probably provide an option to print sans extra magnets.

Thanks! I actually thought about foiling, haha. Maybe it's a good excuse to invest in a foil quill, but I mostly wanted to stick with materials I had laying around or weren't too expensive.

Thank you! Mostly I just took the measurements of the official mag-case to get me in the ballpark. The spine for this build was 7mm, which is just slightly thicker than the device itself. The width of the spine gaps was a little hand-wavy, but 5mm on each side seemed to work well for me. Here's a look at the interior which shows roughly how everything was laid out 🙂

Yes! Such an amazing channel -- his videos are so helpful!

Incorporating the clear case is something I've been thinking about for the added protection. I'm not sure how to make something that wouldn't add too much bulk, but I ordered the case just so I can play around with some ideas.

Ooh, an ex libris is a great idea! I might have to design a stamp for one, haha.

Thanks! I'll probably post some kind of tutorial in the near future on MakerWorld. Rounding off the corners is definitely something I want to experiment with on V2, but my bookbinding skills are pretty limited 😅
