Fridge magnets have gone high-tech. The Vidabay Snap is a reusable digital Polaroid that uses an E Ink display and NFC to wirelessly upload photos from your phone. Just tap your phone to the magnet, and the image updates instantly — no batteries, no cables, no printing.

The Snap looks like a classic Polaroid print but is actually a thin, magnetic E Ink panel. It draws power from your phone's NFC field during the transfer, so it doesn't need its own battery. Each magnet stores one image at a time, but you can change it as often as you like via the companion app.

At $39 for a pack of four, the Snap offers a sustainable way to cover your fridge in memories without the waste of instant film. It's a clever blend of nostalgia and modern tech, perfect for displaying a rotating gallery of photos.

"You can update this photo as often as you want."

The Vidabay Snap is available now and works with any NFC-enabled smartphone.
