The concept of a convenient writing surface that follows the curve of your forearm is nothing new. What is new, however, is the number of features our new Wrist Slate packs into one convenient design. To begin, you need do nothing more to don the slate than slide it up your arm. Once you do, two small elastic cords hold it firmly in place. Attached to the slate is a small pencil, which stows away in its own sleeve when not in use. Perhaps the slate's most unique feature is that it has not one, but three separate writing surfaces. The leaves flip up for easy access. When you are done writing, an elastic cord helps snap the leaves back in place.
