Cheapest Quality Possible! Don't buy!
I have been writing with a slate and stylus for over thirty years, so I know what a decent one should be like. This isn't it. The metal is thin, the dots shallow, which means they won't create very durable braille on the page. And the main mark against this slate is that the pins that are supposed to hold the paper in place are a joke. They aren't tall enough to grip the page at all!<br /><br />Don't buy this slate if you intend to use it as more than just a passing curiosity.<br /><br />I have a heavy steel slate from another seller, which is excellent, but I wanted a lighter weight one to carry permanently in my purse, or just as a backup to the other. Unfortunately, this one isn't even adequate enough as a backup. I regret wasting the money on it.
