The Vestaboard Note is a small split-flap display: 2,880 plastic flaps flip and clatter into whatever message you send from the free phone or web app, and that sound is half the point. It works with or without a frame, sits on a counter or hangs on a wall, and connects to Vestaboard+ integrations for automated content like calendars and dashboards. It is a premium object that does one job, being noticed, and does it better than any screen ever will. Buy it if you want a message board people actually read; skip it if you would rather have another tablet on the wall.
