The slate is of good quality, excellent grip from the bottom so that it does not run and an excellent and strong magnet for the screws to stay stuck.

This magnet board with writing utensil is super nice! Thought it is smaller than I originally thought but that’s my fault for not reading to see how big it was, I think it should be more like $10-$15 price range but it is definitely really cool and super helpful! I have appreciated it a lot because it’s saved me for when I have forgot what went where I had this board where I wrote everything down and the magnet is super strong and holds screws well this product is definitely great I only did 4 star because I feel for $20 you should get a bigger magnet board.

The iFixit Magnetic Project Mat isn’t just for tech geeks—it’s a multitasking marvel! This 8x10-inch mat lets you jot down to-dos, reminders, or doodles with the included Staedtler pen, then slap it onto your fridge or any metal surface for all to admire. Its magnetic magic keeps screws and bits in place if you’re tinkering, but also doubles as your quirky grocery list holder. Writing’s a breeze, erasing’s even easier—no smudges, just smooth wipes. Lightweight and grippy, it’s a fidgeter’s dream to handle. For $20, it’s a fun, functional sidekick for your chaotic life—though I’d love a neon version to spice up my fridge even more!

When I saw this, I had just been through the process of upgrading parts on a laptop and had been using my usual method of putting screws and other parts in individual sequenced bowls or cups. But this magnetic mat seems like it would work so much better. Kinda expensive for what it is and the pen that came with it had already dried up when I opened it.

This is a great companion to an iFixIt tool kit. If you do any work on small electronics or laptops, this is a must have! Helps keep all those tiny, pesky screws organized and stops them from walking off on you.

I suppose any magnetic surface would work, but grids make it easyt o remember where fasteners came from in the device you are working on. My only two complaints are that it is smaller than I anticipated (I never read the size description so my fault) and the pen has no way to be attached or tucked into the pad. That's going to disappear soon. Other than those two things, I love it.

It works great to keep track of screws and other small pieces, specially because of the magnetic surface that prevents them from moving easily.

I do some work on small components and this has been a life savor. The magnetic board helps with not losing any smaller screws ;-; You an use if for larger things just have to keep it off to the side and its not thaaaat big.

I made something like this years ago, but it was a white board, and adhesive lines.. lol.. But I love this pad, I wish it was a little bigger, but its a good size. And I wish the marker had a magnet, and the board itself was a little stronger, so my gripe there!! oh and the price, it could be a little cheaper, 20 bucks is a little steep for what this is.
Other then that, its very useful, even if you dont use it every day it really helps those projects once in a while to complete.

A must have for tiny screws. If you work on apple products or anything with small hardware, this keeps everything neat and organized. I draw little diagrams on how things are assembled and label screws when they all look similar in length
