Fits the Go 6 Gen 2 perfectly. Great case, great cover, great price. I’m really tickled with the case it’s so and the back of the cover is soft and the three fold makes it so that it is very easy to hold in the hand both as landscape and portrait. The reviews on Amazon were kind of negative and I don’t really get it— I like it a lot
More specifically:
The case is a the tpu that is nice and clear, and they put corner protectors on their and the bevel bump for screen protection is there. Feels like they're using the high quality tpu that has some good bounce and density and likely won't yellow. If you've bought enough cases for phones over the years, you get it.
The cover has that tri-fold magnet that allows the go 6 to be used without a stand in horizontal or landscape. The cover is very light without feeling low quality, with the top feeling like the grippy touch material and the inside being that felt-y material. The case works for wake and sleep, which I love. The magnets also hold my stylus while reading, which is great. the magnets aren't strong enough to feel like I'd trust my stylus to stay on there in a bag, but. I do feel way more comfortable about the generaly safety of my go 6 (I was scared I was going to drop it in it's regular case).
The magnet on the back of the cover case means that you can't see my color selection for the go 6 gen 2, but it does mean that the cover doesn't flop around.
I paid $16 for the case, and I think that was a good price. The cover only came in black, which I like well enough as the opposite of my beige boox cover. At the time of purchase, equivelent cases without the trifold in more colors were $29. I couldn't justify it. I wanted a detachable cover, to keep the weight down, but saw this at a waaaay better price.
I added a small holder to the back of it and it in no way messes up the ability of the case to hold and fold. The magnet back there also help support the pen. I’m really happy with it, but I think I said that.
The TPU case by itself is about $9.99 at time of writing.
My go 6 gen 2 arrived today.
I was excited to try it using my metal tipped usi 2.0 pen. the experience is very close to EMR. I think it's as good as the Palma 2 Pro. Slower than my tab 8, the form factor for writing is much better than the Palma 2 pro.
This is a perfect little pocket journal. I am so tickled. I had wanted the Go 7 that write this well! Little did I know the 6 inch reader would be soooooooo cozy. Battery is tiny-- but it's so delightfully small and light who cares. Charge it if your iphone ;)
I really wanted the custard- but I got the shell color because I did not want a white front and a yellow back. I feel pretty pleased with that choice right now. She looks great with a Palma-- and they are perfect for different jobs.
Goal: Premium writing experience, no compromises

My favorite Titanium Nibs for EMR
Best cheap USI 2.0 Stylus with Standard Nib:
lets get into it
I love my clickable erasable EMR pens and we just don’t have anything like that for USI 2.0— as far as I know. My ink sense plus pen broke after less than three months— I see pictures of other people with their inksense plus broken in exactly the same place, too, so I thought maybe this might be nice.
I went on a hunt for a) a usi 2.0 pen as good as the bigme b7's — which is: light, balanced, and has a tail eraser— and b) metal nibs for the USI 2.0.
I lucked out and found some by eip and realized they weren't for the EIP pen.Darn! They were for the Penoval 2.0 which I don't use, as I like both a button and a top/tail eraser. I kept the delivery of the nibs but cancelled the rip pen.
When the nibs arrived, I noticed they were the right length for one of my other pens with a plastic tip. By removing the plastic on the new metal nib, I was able to add it to this pen: https://a.co/d/05yeWYAN
I would say that it makes my USI as good as my EMR. I'm tempted to order the EIP but it is more expensive.
I wanted to make sure that the Palma screen was protected from scratches in my pocket since I don’t use the folio. So, I added the healing shield to my palma 2 pro, and purchased for the new go 6 in anticipation of the metal nivs. I wanted to make sure that the Palma screen was protected from scratches in my pocket since I don’t use the folio. Previously, I had used the healing shield on the Palma and didn’t like what it did to the carbon nib. Now it's awesome.
My fave AFFORDABLE clickable EMR pen, which has a tail eraser. I wanted something thicker since I have something thinner: https://a.co/d/0aKRilfV

My favorite Titanium Nibs for EMR— these are delightful — they feel better than any other titanium nib Ive used. https://a.co/d/0drZqDYr
Tab X 4.2 Released!
For all the discourse around whether or not 4.2 was a worthy upgrade, I am over the moon that my tab x has received the update. that’s all of my devices now, which is the best part for sync !
updated to add: this update makes everything snappier and the screen looks better. I don't really understand how this happened but the device feels and looks more modern. really really, kudos to the boox team. I'm honestly thrilled.
Friends!!
I have the Chinese only Tab 8-- basicly a black and white Tab Mini C. I am thrilled!
Perhaps the tab Mini C soon, too.
My name is Michael, and I'm yoga studio owner in Washington, DC. I'm the Federal Government's meditation and mindfulness contractor. Weird gig. As niche as e-ink. I think that most of the internet is brainrot that is leading to a generation of people with no original thoughts, creativity, or capacity for creation.
I write constantly, but I'm also neurdivergent. ADHD AF.
So, I needed a few things-- instant backup, low friction, pretty. Cause I'm 6'3, jacked, nerdy, and a do gooder... but I still like a cute font. I'm adding this because I think you can catch more flys with honey, and honey... I'm fly.
Please enjoy.

This is a fork of Tools for Boox by Gabor Auth, optimized for daily planning on Boox e-ink tablets with pen color support, full-screen drawing, pinch-zoom for smaller devices, dynamic home screen widgets, and Ultrabridge integration by r/starkruzr for handwriting OCR, backup, and task sync. I took inspiration from the Viwoods Daily Planner. In fact, I think it succesfully saves the Viwoods AiPaper Mini. I'm so glad Claude knows how to do the things I don't. God bless a good tool. Love a tool.
The fork also runs on the Viwoods AiPaper Mini (a non-Boox, MediaTek e-ink tablet), built as a dedicated viwoods product flavor so the Boox builds are completely unaffected.

Contacted Boox feedback. about updates -- good news?
Story: bought a Tab 8 second hand and it doesn't connect to Boox US servers and had hoped they might add it in for 4.2 when it finally arrives.
Alas, no China Server Saver for me but they did say the update was scheduled for within 2 months.
this bodes well for the Tab Mini C, I hope!
please add this feature. It would keep me from selling my mini.
Hi! I love the aipaper mini, but im too into the boox ecosystem to justify keeping it.
Includes allstate accident warranty until October up to $300.
Cover has some wear. device is perfect otherwise. includes the w2 :)

Just like the title says! I have a viwoods mini and a tab mini c— and I end up using my palma 2 pro and tab x b&w!
Anyone interested in trading my two 8” sizes for a bigger, newer color model?
Lets see :)
See, boox, I used my manners. I think youve been hard at work on this, based on my feedback responses in app.
are we getting close?
You know how much I love your products and how much I use them.
My tab collection— mini c, 8, and X b/w— are all running beautifully. I would be so happy to see them get the nudge up.
PLEASE :)
