Why should you be interested in my review of leather caes for the reMarkable 2?
I’ve been using the reMarkable 2 for over 3 years now and have tested it in a variety of configurations. I use this device daily in my 9-5 job, as well as for running this website. I am always seeking new tools and tricks to maximize my effectiveness as a business person and executive.
What is the reMarkable 2 paper tablet?
The reMarkable 2 is an EMR tablet that allows you to focus in our current world of distraction. The tablet (and accompanying stylus) use EMR technology and an innovative screen to mimic writing on paper. This combination, along with a folder structure, allows you to carry hundreds of notebooks and PDFs to every meeting.
Why is a case important for your reMarkable 2?
reMarkable did an amazing job designing and manufacturing an ultra slim device, but that leaves it a bit vulnerable to accidental damage. There are three main reasons to get a case for your new reMarkable 2:
- Protection – Protecting your reMarkable 2 is the biggest reason to add a case to your device. Early in my ownership, I tried using the device without a cover and accidentally dropped it on a concrete warehouse floor. After that experience, I’ve always kept a case on my device.
- Additional storage – some covers features pockets or stylus storage that can make your device more functional. I personally like to keep a business card or two in my case.
- Style – adding a cover to your reMarkable 2 can add a touch of style to an otherwise sleek device.
Additionally, changing out the case (also called folio by reMarkable) can update the look of your reMarkable and make you feel like you upgraded the whole device.

Recommendation for a reMarkable 2 Leather Case

Alternatives cases for the reMarkable 2
reMarkable Type Folio ($200) – The other key case that’s worth calling out is the reMarkable Type Folio for the stylish look and added capability it provides. Currently, the Type Folio is the only external keyboard that allows you to transform your reMarkable into a focused typing machine. I wrote a detailed review of this device, but if typing is important to your workflow, it’s worth considering the Type Folio case.
