7 Essential Xteink Accessories, Ranked

The X4 and X3 ship without a case and — critically — without any frontlight. Here are the seven things to buy, in order.

  1. Reading light — buy this first

    eReader Magnetic Reading Light X3 · X4
    Official

    eReader Magnetic Reading Light

    Neither model has a built-in frontlight. This snaps to the back magnet — no clip touches the screen.

  2. Amazon alternative light

    Amazon 4.8 (87)

    Hoxutym Rechargeable Bookmark Book Light

    If the official light is out of stock — clips over the spine (not the screen), three colour temps, USB-C, up to 40 h runtime.

    Caution: Clip over the spine or cover edge only. Never grip the bare screen bezel — the pressure can crack the e-ink panel.

  3. Case — X4

    X4 Magnetic Case X4
    Official 4.5 (52)

    X4 Magnetic Case

    Ultra-light back-snap case in 6 colours. Keeps the back magnet fully exposed for phone-back mounting.

    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.

  4. Case — X3

    Official

    X3 Magnetic Case

    Same design as the X4 case, cut to fit the smaller X3 body.

  5. Screen protector

    X4 Matte Screen Protector X4
    Official

    X4 Matte Screen Protector

    Matte film cuts glare and adds a paper feel for stylus writing. Pre-applied on new X4s — buy a replacement when yours wears out.

  6. Magnetic stick-on ring

    eReader Magnetic Stick-On Ring X3 · X4

    eReader Magnetic Stick-On Ring

  7. Charging cable — X3 onlyX3 only

    Magnetic Pogo Pin Charging Cable (X3 & X4 Pro) X3 · X4 Pro

    Magnetic Pogo Pin Charging Cable (X3 & X4 Pro)

    The X3 uses a proprietary pogo-pin cable. Order a spare immediately — lose this and the device won’t charge.

Common questions

Does the Xteink X4 come with a screen protector?
Yes — the X4 ships with a matte film pre-applied from the factory. Check at an angle under a light; you may already have one.
Can I use MagSafe accessories with the X4 or X3?
Yes. Both devices have a built-in MagSafe-compatible back magnet. If your phone lacks MagSafe, stick the official ring to your phone case and the reader clicks on.
What charging cable does the X3 use?
A proprietary 4-pin magnetic pogo connector — not USB-C. The X4 uses standard USB-C. Order an X3 spare cable immediately; it's easy to lose.
