Shan McG,: I love these Filofax notebooks. Its a wonderful feature to be able to add and remove pages. I use these notebooks daily at work and at home. The previous three notebooks that I've purchased have all had smooth, crisp white paper - I'm a bit of a stationary nerd and paper quality is important to me. I was disappointed to find that this particular notebook came with cream coloured paper that has a very slight grainy feel to it. While I love the colour of the cover - a very rich pear green, I'm really disappointed that the listing didn't make it obvious that the paper colour was not white. That is my only reason for not giving this item 5 stars. If paper colour doesn't bother you, don't hesitate in buying this. Its a high quality product - very durable, the cover is almost leather and you would never know the difference, the elastic closure is very thick. Personally, I never use the 3 dividers and 1 divider/folder combo that are included but they are made of a thicker paper and seem durable. Included is a removable ruler style bookmark which I love. Its made of thin plastic, is very bendable and useful for everyday measuring or drawing straight lines/underlining. Overall this is...

Amazon Customer: I've been enjoying this notebook! The paper is very thick and feels “premium”. I've had no issues with ghosting and the cover is sturdy. I like that it comes with dividers and a ruler and it is super handy to move the pages around. I bought a dot paper refill pack to add in and it's a little too full, so I only wish it would hold more. Overall great buy!

Alex: The notepad itself is great, but I'm struggling to find refills on Amazon / elsewhere that don't cost a fortune.

itayetziitayetzi: Llego un día antes de lo programado, tiene buen aspecto aunque no parece calidad filofax, pero me imagino que es por el precio, no me gusto que no trajera la liga para el bolígrafo pero bueno, la parte positiva es que puedes ponerle hojas para recargarla. Esperemos que sea duradera.

Reademandweep: *Warning, Long, rambling review ahead. You can take a detour to though Bottom line by skipping to the last paragraph.

I’m a writer. I’ve always been a writer. I have so many scraps of paper boxes filled with napkins and such, you’ve heard those stories. I have two iPads, both with Apple pencils and they are a dream but what can I say? I’m a handwriting, notebook junkie. Journals, paper, pens, markers, you name it are my joy. I struggle not to feel guilty about it but when the new year rolls around it’s too difficult to resist. As mentioned, I have iPads and they’re beautiful. With that Apple Pencil. Woo hoo. But I still wanna piece of paper. I have a live scribe pen then I cannot recommend it highly enough. Check it out. Every single thing you write will be synced to the cloud like magic. But I digress.
With all those electronics, I still like a paper notebook. I had dreams of planning my life but that never seem to work out. The planners always have too many pages and categories that don’t apply to me. I want something that’s kind of a planner but kind of freestyle so when I saw Ryder Carrol’s bullet journal idea, I knew he was onto something....

missdaisy: I have this in black and it is very professional looking, especially compared to the neon and pastel colors that Filofax and other organizer/notebook companies seem to be leaning towards. I also like that the coils are small and not clunky or in the way like many of the other coil or disc-bound notebooks I've seen. The A5 size is convenient for portability and availability of inserts on etsy, Amazon, etc. The best part about this is the flexibility to move pages around. What I don't like about this: 1) The inserts that Filofax offers are too limited - you have to buy a special hole punch (I chose the Arc one) to be able to add inserts (though it is nice to see that Filofax is finally offering some diary inserts). 2) The Arc paper and tabs only sort of fit - the width is fine, but they are slightly too long on top and bottom because the Filofax is true A5 and the Arc paper is statement/half-letter . 3) I agree with the other reviewers that folding this back (one of the reasons I chose it) is not ideal. It works, but if the notebook is full of paper, the paper does tend to slip out of the coils. 4) There is less than .5 inch of paper that it comes with and I would hesitate to add...

Wanekia: In considering the purchase of any "notebook," I believe that one should first think of how it is to be used. For me, this would be a most welcome companion in business meetings, in taking class notes, etc., when taking the notes and then organizing them is important. The fold flat feature is great in these examples as well, as the work space is uncrowded as a result.
My usage is in research for my writing. There are often several elements to a story, and the Filofax is as good as any for keeping separate issues separate, and then collating all in a first draft. Really love this notebook in this usage, and I mention it only as an illustration of another practical use.
The elastic band that secures the cover fits neatly into notches at the top and bottom of the front cover. This feature keeps the notebook a bit neater in appearance, and probably makes the closure somewhat more secure. Nice feature.
Filofax makes a good selection of refills available. I won't be using the blank sheets as my handwriting is atrocious, but it is nice for those less cursed than I. I do like the graph sheets, and will use one graph refill to perhaps eight or ten of the lined refills. Those who...
