![]() In keeping with reMarkable’s minimal aesthetic, there is nothing but a little place marker indicating where your text will appear. It’s there, but has almost no markings to indicate it. Image Credits: Devin Coldewey / TechCrunchĪn update with a new text-focused interface will ship with the keyboard, and while you can use it with the on-screen one (which is serviceable), the physical keyboard is obviously a much better option.īy hitting the text T in the left-hand drop-down menu, a column for text appears down the middle - or rather, doesn’t appear. Normally that little menu isn’t even there, just the lines. In the few cases we’ve seen, this issue is cosmetic, and won’t affect Type Folio in use.” I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary and future orders should lack this issue (whatever it is) but it’s noted here for the record. We put shipments on pause while we investigated, and found the cause. Update: reMarkable has emailed early buyers of the keyboard folio alerting them that “we identified a quality issue affecting the plastic spine on the first batch of Type Folios. I have a nice ergonomic mechanical keyboard for when I really need to write stuff.) (I haven’t tested a lot of these things, to be honest, because generally I don’t see the utility - personally I use tablets to consume, not create. The chiclet keys don’t have a lot of travel or play but are comfortable enough not as good as a laptop, but better than many keyboard cases I have used and certainly much better than any on-screen keyboard out there. There’s also no delete key, though shift-backspace does the same thing. This is generally speaking fine, though I would prefer a slight modification that makes the long, weird backspace key larger and does without caps lock (who needs it?). It folds up and snaps into place with a couple magnets and you’re good to start typing. But once you flip off the cover, you can lay it down and take hold of a couple tabs on either side and lift the screen free of the keys underneath. They sold a million of these things, after all.Īnyway, the folio works as a regular cover if you just want to take notes or read in portrait orientation. ![]() Wait, you say, you’re doing a whole review just of a cover? Well, it’s kind of unique and the reMarkable is a cool device and there isn’t a lot like it out there! I know I’m not the only one looking for something like this. If you’re familiar with other keyboard folio-type cases, this one won’t be much of a surprise, but I’ll say it is very nicely done and well made. It has a leather or leather analogue exterior (comes in black or milk chocolate brown), then a sort of three-layer design where the cover goes on top, the tablet is in the middle and the keyboard hides below until summoned. The new case is not unlike those available for the Surface, iPad, even other e-paper devices like the Boox Tab X. At least, it wasn’t until they put out this great keyboard folio that converts this tablet into a pretty compelling minimalist writing station - if you don’t mind a slightly premium price. This is a one-time purchase, unlike other options on this list.The reMarkable 2 is a great tablet for reading long documents on, annotating them, taking notes, sketching… but not for full-on writing.
