Xteink X4 and X3 accessories that actually matter

The X3 and the discontinued X4 have no front light and ship without a case. Buy a reading light first, then a case. Skip the light on the X4 Pro. The rest only if you need it.

  1. Reading light. Buy this first

    Official

    eReader Magnetic Reading Light

    The X3 and the discontinued X4 have no front light. This snaps to the back magnet. Skip it on the X4 Pro. Nothing clips the screen.

    from $9.99
  2. Amazon backup light

    Hoxutym Rechargeable Bookmark Book Light X3 · X4
    Amazon 4.8 (87)

    Hoxutym Rechargeable Bookmark Book Light

    When the official light is sold out. Clips the spine, not the screen. Three colour temps, USB-C, up to 40 hours.

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

  3. X4 case

    X4 Magnetic Case X4
    Official 4.5 (52)

    X4 Magnetic Case

    Ultra-light back-snap case in six colours. The back magnet stays clear 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. X3 case

Before you order

Does the Xteink X4 come with a screen protector?
Yes. The X4 ships with a matte film already on the screen. Tilt it under a light. You may already have one.
Can I use MagSafe accessories with the X4 or X3?
Yes. The X4 and X3 both have a MagSafe-compatible back magnet. If your phone has no magnet, stick the official ring to the case. The reader clicks on.
What charging cable does the X3 use?
A proprietary 4-pin magnetic pogo connector, not USB-C. The X4 Pro uses the same pogo port. Only the discontinued original X4 used standard USB-C. Order a spare. They are easy to lose.
