I’m thinking of buying a remarkable, but - like many tech products - the “optional” (not really optional) accessories are ridiculously priced. It’s insulting to the consumer - pure price-gouging for things they know you will need.

The stylus is 12g of plastic - priced at €129. (over €1 per gram. For comparison Silver is about €0.70 per gram) The book folio is €100 - I’m guessing it’s made for about €2-€3 in a factory in China.

These are marketed as “optional” but nobody is buying one with nothing to write on it, and you won’t throw it in a bag without some protection.

So, here’s my question - what are the most affordable Generic accessories that work well with Remarkable 2? Can I just buy the base unit and get a generic plastic stylus, and a simple cover for much less than the branded versions? Will these work?

And if there aren’t cheaper versions, are there better versions?

Any recommendations?

    I originally bought mine with the keyboard folio case and decided to return the case - it made the Remarkable heavier and thicker than it needed to be and I didn’t like the size of the keyboard.

    I was going to get one of the branded flap folio cases instead but thought I’d give this Amazon one a go first. £35 which is soooo much cheaper and I’m really happy with it! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B094NBGG78?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
