What to buy for an Xteink X3, X4, or X4 Pro

X3 and X4 have no front light, so buy a reading light first. Skip that on the X4 Pro. Next, a case that leaves the back magnet free, and a spare pogo cable if you own an X3 or X4 Pro. Official means it ships from xteink.com. Everything else is a community pick.

X4 Magnetic Case

Official ultra-light back-snap case in six colours. Adds protection while keeping the magnetic mounting and slim profile. Sold direct from xteink.com; also on Amazon from the official XTEINK store.

Caution: Fits the X4 only, not the X4 Pro. The Pro is 3 mm shorter, drops the bottom-button cutout and relocates the back magnet, so X4 cases do not fit it.

X4 Pro Official
Xteink

X4 Pro Magnetic Case

Official back-snap case cut for the X4 Pro in six colours. Same ultra-light design as the X4 case but with the magnet moved up, the bottom-button cutout removed and a pogo-port opening, so X4 cases will not fit.

6 colours: Forest Green, Mint Green, Blossom Pink, Raspberry Red, Space Black, Cloud Grey

Pogo Pin → USB-C Adapter (X3 & X4 Pro)

A 2-pack of magnetic 4-pin adapters built for the pogo-pin port shared by the X3 and X4 Pro: plug any USB-C cable into the puck and snap its magnetic end onto the back to charge. A drop-in replacement for the easy-to-lose proprietary cable. Each has a lanyard loop and built-in over-charge / short-circuit protection.

Caution: Fits the 4-pin pogo port on the X3 and X4 Pro, not the USB-C base X4. Confirm the pin layout matches your unit before relying on it.

HanLinYue Free2 Bluetooth Page Turner (for X4)

A two-key Bluetooth clicker sold specifically for the X4. Four modes selected with a short press of the power button: page turn (up/down), page turn (left/right), music play/pause, and volume, plus swappable red (silent) and blue (clicky) switches and spare keycaps in the box. It's the clicker most often named in r/xteinkreader threads, and it's one of the page-turner devices the community CrossPoint BLE firmware fork recognizes by name in its built-in device list.

Caution: Needs Bluetooth pairing, so it works on the stock Xteink firmware out of the box. Mainline CrossPoint doesn't support Bluetooth yet. Only community forks like CrossPoint BLE add a page-turner back.

What to buy first

Buy the light first on an X3 or X4. Skip it on the X4 Pro. Then a magnet-safe case and a spare pogo cable. After unboxing, load books onto the Xteink X4.

  • Buy the light first on an X3 or X4. Neither has a front light. The X4 Pro already has one.
  • Attach lights with the magnet, not a clamp on the screen edge. Clip pressure has cracked an X4 screen.
  • Order a spare pogo-pin cable for the X3 or X4 Pro. It is proprietary and easy to lose. The original X4 uses USB-C.
  • Matte film adds a paper-like writing feel and cuts glare. Tempered glass protects harder but stays glossy.
  • For phone-back carry, the stick-on rings matter more than the case.
  • "Official" marks items from xteink.com. Everything else is a community or third-party pick. Confirm price and stock on the linked page.
