My fear would be that my notes are being erased when putting the notebook into my backpack.

A lot of people actually share this concern and you are right if you're planning on keeping what's written. I personally use it for practicing coding interview questions and brainstorming.

Or you can use a laptop with touch screen and/or a digital pen... And Google and microsoft have note taking apps that makes your hand writing searchable. Edit: wow, some people on HN really dislike touchscreens...

I have those as well but they're used for different purposes.

I bought a whiteboard 2 weeks ago for my home "office". Thinking about it, it would have made sense to buy a big sticker instead which I can stick on one of my windows. For sure that would have been much cheaper. Plus, I would not have needed to drill holes in the wall.

Those stickers will work on your wall too.. not just your windows.

I think this is pretty neat and love all things whiteboard but the one annoyance is that I now need to carry around a whiteboard marker and eraser (if you don't want crap all over your fingers from erasing). Note: I don't think you can solve that problem.

And now I probably am carrying a backpack which makes paper + pen better. I think the #1 benefit of a whiteboard is the size. I can draw huge diagrams and everyone in the room can see and not have to huddle around a piece of paper.

I still think it is interesting....

I myself right directly _on_ the windows' surface. Works great! Though you need white color marker to do it at night. :)
