KOKUYO Campus Smart Ring Binder Notebooks, B5, 25 Capacity, 26 Rings, Yellow, Japan Import (RU-SP700Y)

INSTRUCTIONS: First off, it has a lock to protect the binder. To take off the lock, place your finger through the bottom hole of the lock and push it out to the left. If you get stuck here, grab onto the bottom tabs on the side and pull those out. Next hold the lock and pull it up. To open the binder rings, press the plastic button on the top. Make sure you don’t block the bottom part of the spine or else it won’t open. To close the binder, you pinch the rings together.It’s a very slim and portable binder with a nice pink pastel color. It’s best paired with Kokuyo campus paper which can also be found on amazon. The maximum amount of pages it can hold is 25 but I was able to squeeze in 40. Though if you overload the binder too much it will have a difficult time closing and your pages will easily fall out. I wouldn’t suggest being rough with this binder. It holds pretty well, but also feels fragile if handled carelessly. The paper is very silky and high quality. It feels smooth to run pen ink over it. Unfortunately, b5 plastic sheet protectors will stick out. I’ve used maruman clear pockets, so the kokuyo campus clear pockets /may/ fit better. This binder seems to be best for holding paper and not plastic sheet protectors.Overall, the Kokuyo brand is very high quality as most Japanese stationery products are. This binder is a great way to save buying multiple notebooks. It’s easily refillable and portable to carry around. If you want a binder that is a little more studier and can hold more pages, I would get the 60 page version of this binder, which is a lot thicker and more sturdy.

I have been going to school for nearly 15 years now, and have been writing on traditional Staples notebooks for my whole life! Though they are only 10 cents per subject notebook, I always faced the problem of wanting to move my pages around into a custom configuration.This year, I have sat next to a foreign exchange student from China who has many of these notebooks! The paticular notebook that he has, is the multi-subject one with sections in it.This technology is great. THIS NOTEBOOK COMES WITH ONLY 10 PAGES. You have to order your own B5 paper which is sold in 100/packs on Amazon too. The paper is smaller than traditional notebooks, and is much more durable. The downside is that you are not able to tear out pieces of paper cleanly (without the bindings).This notebook is nice and portable and fits in a lap-top case!Defiantly would recommend this to anyone on the go, for note taking and someone who does not want to take a large notebook with them. This product you can choose how much paper you carry.The only downside I have seen/had with this product so far is that the binding that hold the notebook together does not feel too strong, I feel like if I bend it a little too much that it could break. But it is defiantly safe in a crowded backpack with other accessories!EXPLANATION:For those who have not seen this product in person, the images do not do a good job of explaining its purpose. This not book is a mix of a traditional "american" 3 ring binder that is able to open up, and a regular notebook. All 26 of the notebook bindings open up, and allow you to move around the notebook pages freely. So you are able to keep your note together, or your homework together. The paper is "refillable" so this is a product that will last.

Important Note: If you plan on buying this binder, it comes with 30 sheets of paper, so I would suggest buying a pack (or two if you can find that wonderfully priced bundle pack here on Amazon) of refill paper when you buy it just so you'll have enough sheets of paper as soon as you get started.I LOVE this "binder." I use it as a bullet journal and the "smart" binding allows me to remove pages I mess up, add new pages in if I forget or need to add something new, and overall just took away the stress of how permanent and well-planned a bullet journal would need to be. In fact, it took me so long to bullet journal because I couldn't bring myself to do it in a hardbound book. What if I forgot something? What if I needed to add a page? I'm sure there were workarounds, but this system is just so simple, and the paper is AMAZING and holds up well to lots of various pens and inks. Once I found this binder, I pretty quickly realized it would make a good bullet journal option, and so far that's held to be true. So if you're looking for a bullet journal system that allows you to move things around and take out ruined pages, this is definitely the answer and will soothe some of your planner creating woes.It only holds about 30 sheets of paper, so you probably won't be able to do a whole year's worth of planning in it if that's how you choose to use it. I've bought a 1 inch 26 ring Kokuyo binder (also available on Amazon) to transfer all my old monthly pages into as I use them up and store my years of planning as I continue to use this system, so that may also be a consideration you might want to make if you plan to use this system as a bullet journal planner.I was also initially worried about the size, but the B5 size is perfect. The cover is plastic and is very floppy, and I'm also concerned about that floppiness allowing the spine to snap somehow, so I've bought a cover (from Lihit Labs, sorry Kokuyo, but you didn't have anything that would fit these!) to give it some protection and allow me to store some things inside it and really use it like a planner/notebook/wallet combination.Hope this review helps you achieve your bullet journaling dreams if that's how you choose to use it!

Very pretty color

Love these and the way you can refill them.

i didn’t realize you would need different paper to put in so now i have to pay more to use the binder.

Me encanto porque el color es hermoso, es pequeña (pero sigue siendo funcional). Lo que no me gusto mucho es que yo la compre por que sería fácil de conseguir las hojas, por que es muy fácil encontrar hojas A4 y las cortas a la mitad y tiene A5 (así lo pensé yo). Sin embargo no son estrictamente A5 tienen 1cm extra para la parte perforada…pero bueno…nada que no se pueda resolver.Pd.: La calidad de las hojas es sensacional.

Excelente produto. Chegou exatamente como o esperado: em perfeito estado.

Pratique et parfait pour les études
