I absolutely love this little piece of art. Quality products should come with quality software/drivers to be great. Before I bought this one from Pimoroni I was using an alternative one, but since drivers were terrible, I was not able to use it as I wanted. Inky pHAT from Pimoroni is an awesome combination of quality HW, great drivers, and clear documentation. Installation and usage are super-easy, so literally everybody will be able to use it even, when not a Linux guru. I am very happy, that I bought one, and I will definitely order another for my next RPi Zero projects.

It delivers what is promised, a fantastic 2.13" display, easy to set up and to connect to raspberry. Also comes in a nice package.

Perfect little e-ink screen. It is a bit slower in refreshing than black/white version, but for my project the reds are absolutely worth it. Love it!

Awesome display, super easy to use, getting started guide is very good, Display is crisp, but does take a little while to refresh (~15 seconds)

Love it - It's currently neatly mounted to a Pi Zero in my kitchen, displaying the current/upcoming 'Octopus agile' energy tarriffs which change every 30 minutes. The screen's low energy use means it will run from a battery for a long time. The only issue wasn't the inky pHAT it was that the pi zero didn't have GPIO pins. I had to order some solder-free hammer-in pins so I could connect things together.

Got it up and running quickly and without hassle. The documentation and examples are really good. Got mine showing the weather from my weather station connected to another rpi outside the house. Fun little project! It didn't sit well on the pins when connected directly to the rpi but was fine when I used a ribbon cable. No idea why this was. Pimoroni support was helpful when trying to resolve this issue.
