Thanks for the amazing article, Ray!! I’m definitely saving up for one now!! By chance, would you know if Intuos 3 pen nibs will work with Axiotron’s Studio Pen? Thanks in advance!!

Peter, that is exactly the kind of thing that the IT case is perfect for. I take it to meetings, on set (I do storyboards, animation, concept art, etc), in the car, outside, everywhere. I walk around the house working. I tend to work for days at a time, and the only way I can stay away is to stay on my feet. Also perfect for that. It’s great. Get it! You’ll love it.

Oh, and they other great thing, it flips around and turns into an easel you can sit upright on a table or your lap, it also flips around again to become a carrying case that’s super sturdy, form-fitting to the modbook, and comfortable to wear. It’s great!

Thanks Ray, they started making a two finger model Smudgeguard, so I’m very happy with that. One question: How happy are you with the IT Case? I do storyboards, so being able to stand with a director and draw would be fantastic, but that’s a hefty price tag for a case. Unfortunately I can’t find one cheaper online and no brick-and-mortar stores (even in LA!) carry one to try out. Do you LOVE it? Or, more importantly, has the quality held up to the use since you gave your review?

Thanks!

Hey, Peter-

Sorry, not sure what it’s called. That’s another gift from my wife, so I didn’t catch the name. If I find out I’ll repost.

But, I love it. Works wonders for me!!

Ray, big fan and thanks for the review. I just got a modbook, and I’m wondering if the “tablet glove” you’re using is the Smudgeguard? (I can’t tell from the photo) That’s the only one that I’ve found so far, but I’m looking for one that covers my pinkie AND my ring finger, as I hold the pen in such a way that the one finger glove is not very effective. Probably just need to retrain my grip but I’m getting too old for new tricks…

I have been drooling over the Modbook since I first saw this review, it’s an amazing piece of hardware… I just don’t think I’m going to be able to afford 2 grand for a new tablet PC anytime soon…
