In the absence of an official case, this one is a good fit (width just right, 4mm space at top and bottom of i86) and it holds the i86 securely without blocking any controls. It's not the finest quality, but you can't beat it for the price.

Wait, I thought our orders were supposed to include a case. It will be shipped later, right?

That looks excellent. They were supposed to include a case with my i86, but there was no case in the shipment.

Meanwhile I bought the eBay version.

There was a printed note in mine saying the cases are shipping later, presumably due to the magnet issue with the original ones received. There's a video by the same person (looks like he removed it already) showing an issue where when flipping the case all the way back, the magnet was causing the boox to go into suspend again.

So I've had my i86 for about a week now, and am working on a review.

I'm generally happy with it. The design is somewhat improved from the engineering sample. I can install lots of apps from Google Play. And the page turn speed is within shouting distance of my 2013 KPW.

Here's a few details I've noticed when comparing the i86 to my Pocketbook Inkpad.

The i86 has a much faster page turn but a splotchy, dim, and uneven frontlight which looks like it was made in 2012. The InkPad's frontlight is brighter and more even.

Both touchscreens are fine for me, and I'm happy with the font rendering and other options.

I'm probably going to do a comparison post before the general review. At this point I would pick the InkPad for reading Epub but the i86 for the Android apps.

It would be nice if they added font size selections at 2-point intervals for fine-tuning reading, or a font size slider, as Kobo provides.

Hi,

Do you know where i could buy for fair price and delay an i89 ?
Do you know where we could find the leather cover as on pictures "Moby Dick / in black " ?
This i89 ML look great and just perfect to replace my Touch Lux from Pocketbook (good device to, but to slow).

How works the bettery life time on i89?

Thank's

Right now you can only buy it from:
http://ereader-store.de/

I can't speak as to the battery life; I only recently stopped my unit from turning itself off rather than going to sleep.

A short question for people who already have it. Which android apps work properly? I'm especially interested in feedly, offline browser, Greader, kiwix and twitter apps

Thanks and sorry my english
