Only took 18hrs from placing order to delivery. I’m only tinkering with the inkyphat but I’m sure I’ll find some interesting code out there!

The inky phat is the best screen for the pi 0. I use it for many project. Dynamic badge, weather station for my kid, ... Very resistant, high quality, I was surprised by the refresh (5 sec for a all screen refresh) but it stays for one year out of battery. A must have.

This is a great screen. Have only used the examples provided on the website but it's so hypnotic watching the screen pulse and the images slowly appear. I've got the normal papirus phat too and this is my fave.

Came across Inky pHAT while writing a Perl wrapper for E-Paper displays in general. I see from blog that current version is extensively tested. (following issues with initial product). It looks great and has proper support. The E-Paper display of choice I'd say.

I've purchased the first version of the Inky pHAT, and was extremely happy with it, sadly enough it broke down, after contacting Pimoroni, they sent me a free second iteration of the pHAT, it arrived fairly fast (like 5 business days fast!), and works beautifully! Can't recommend Pimoroni enough!

I would give the inky phat 5 stars if there weren't these 2 things that you have to know about: 1. There is a noticable memory effect, meaning that for example areas that were previously black show after you have changed to a different image in, for example, red. 2. The white becomes more red'ish after some time. I noticed this right away when I received it. This shouldn't be an issue if you refresh it regularly. + Beware of the refresh time, it is at least 15 secs. Can also be fun to watch ;)

Three colours and low power opens up lots of possibilities for adding other functions to smart and dynamic name badges. :-)
