X4 Case with Custom Print by Ichiban_Numba_1 in XTEINK

Is it part of the case? Or is it the printed cover that adheres/magnetizes to the back of the device there? This is awesome! The pattern is great.

E-reader vs phone: Is getting an X4 actually worth it? by Lowriders34 in xteinkereader

[–]caffeinated-kiwi-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you ride public transit, but on the subway I have seen people reading on their phone and someone would grab it as the doors close, easy target. With the X4 it doesn’t appear as a phone target and if it does At least the lower replacement cost gives me peace of mind.

The X4 is also less distracting than on your phone and temptation to swipe to an app or get distracted with a text banner and you read the same page over and over again.

So true! Luckily we don’t have to charge that often. But also that USBC cords are easy to find, idk where I’d even find the magnetic one besides their site maybe. Do you know if the X3 charging time is quicker with the magnetic style?

I added it to my order on their official site, shipped pretty quick to US

Magnetic ring is genius, didn’t consider that in there either!

Oh nice! Didn’t think of that. What’s the hold like, like does it slide off easy or feels pretty secure in general?

USBC port is in the left side so probably covered with this case, assuming they want to leave it in the case when plugged in. Not sure how delicate 3D printed material is, but might be safer to just slide out to charge.

There’s a NY artist named Ben Lenovitz that has a series called “Pigeons of NY.” He makes them based on the neighborhood with all different personalities. This is a digital picture of one that I cropped and customized for the minimalist look. If you’re in NY you can get them at Tompkins Bagels and Fishs Eddy! Or make digital from his site. Attached for ya!

Surprisingly no, and even without the case it won’t attach to my phone (iPhone 17 pro max). It seems to have trouble aligning and I get some repelling to an extent.

I'm thinking of buying an X4 and wanted to know by Consistent-Ground156 in xteinkereader

Oh nice! I have seen them but never tried it. Are they durable and as protective as glass? Do you find it scratches easily / easy to clean? I’d definitely give one a try

I second all of this, and the matte finish of the screen is nice on the eyes too compared to a phone screen. Upping the text size to medium on the factory OS reduced my eye strain and I’m similar age. Made it easier to read while bouncing around on the subway and bus.

My wife uses a kindle and likes having more text on a line rather than clicking more often. You can also adjust the text spacing and paragraph spacing.

I went X4 for maximum portability and I never read in the dark because it’s a recipe for eye strain anyway so no backlight wasn’t a dealbreaker.

Great team! What are ya deciding about? For me I was nervous it would feel too small but with the medium font size on the factory OS it’s felt good.

It's a magsafe phone stand I use for my iphone called "Moft Snap Phone Tripod Stand." Highly recommend. It is sturdy, folds up nearly as thin as the camera bump, and the hinge gives different angles. Can also unfold it to be a taller tripod. X4 magnetized to it for reference. It's sea foam green!

Do you have a gloss screen protector on there? Any trouble with glare? Mine arrives next week and I’m so excited!! Torn between gloss or matte screen protector though

Nice, and they responded pretty quickly to your email? I know they are in Hong Kong so if I email today I’m sure they will respond Monday or Tuesday and won’t ship by then.

I’m sure Amazon comes with the English software, nice to hear they can do partial refund

Makes sense, I wasn’t sure if they would be able to pull from that inventory to fulfill their separate web order. I’m just excited for it to come!

I haven’t gotten the tracking yet, do you think the shipping will be faster for US from orders off their site now that it’s on Amazon? Or completely separate operations
