Before I start... No! I was not compensated for this review in any way. I just absolutely LOVE these notebooks.Here's a detailed breakdown:1) Covers: Everything the other reviewers said about the cover being firm is true! I doubted it when I looked at the description but the reviews made me want to try them and I'm glad I did! I hate it when the cover will not support my writing on it without laying it on a table. These get top score. Also, I love the transparency. This allows me to slip something in the book but still be able to see it. I didn't think of this before I got the books but it has proved to be a wonderful unexpected asset!Size: The books are the perfect size to be held and written on. I have other books that are just a little larger and they become unwieldy. Anything smaller wouldn't be big enough. Literally, the Goldilocks perfect size.Paper: Collage ruled!!!! Nothing more needs to be said about that. The paper is thick. Being the stationery nerd that I am, I love that. The lines are very light, which has pros & cons but it's enough if writing is a normally lit room. If you were in a darker place, it might be hard to see the lines.Spiral binding: Sturdy. Holds up to being knocked around without bending or warping. And, large enough to fit a pen in perfectly.Elastic band: I appreciate the convenience of having the elastic band attached. Never have to worry about the book opening in my bag. Or, that the things I have placed under the covers will slip out. I am concerned that the elastic won't hold up because it is a little thin but time will tell. And, the thinness keeps it from making a "lump" when writing on the open book.The only negative for me is that they are a little pricey. I wish they were a little less expensive but I guess I'm not that upset because they are *perfect* in every other way. I would definitely buy them again even in light of the price!

I have looked a long time for a notebook this size!! Perfect for using on my lap! Love the the hard translucent front and back covers to give sturdiness to writing on your lap! Love the added stickers to make your own 'subject front page' and section dividers At the back there is a sturdy two-sided pocket -- not light weight like most notebooks! Love the paper weight (no bleeding for ballpoint pens, but would be for markers). Also like the lines being lighter than usual. Makes your writing straight as well as prominent on the page vs competing against the the 'busyness' of heavier lines. Then to top it all off, there is a band to keep your notebook closed. This notebook is worth every penny paid. The attention to detail is to be commended!

Well-made notebook with sturdy plastic cover (firm enough to write without a clipboard or desk). The paper is smooth for writing with actual lines, not just dots, and it comes with tabs you can add to subdivide the notebook as needed. I don't use fountain pens and can't speak for those, but I have not had issues with bleed-through of gel or regular pens. It works great in a leather journal holder and even looks elegant in it, or it is durable enough to just toss in your bag and use for every day.

I used these for journaling, and had to stop using one midway through because the paper was starting to cause the pen to skip and do weird things. The cover is also not transparent, but translucent. The strap that keeps it closed is good quality though.

The hard covers are thick and sturdy and very durable. The spiral binding seems to be sturdy too. My only dislike is the bold name stamped on back. It could be more discreet.The pages are thicker than notebook paper. My stabilo pens didn’t bleed through, but they shadow on the other side when turning the page. However, my fountain pen ink definitely bled through.

I ordered the college ruled notebook and was very surprised at the build quality for the price. Both notebooks have a thick frosted plastic front and back, and the elastic strap keeps everything closed securely. They also came with some sticker tabs and title sticker which was a nice touch. I'm currently planning on using these for cook books, as they are durable and the metal spine allows the pages to lay flat, or be folded backwards. Very good value.

Great for my needs. I have a larger planner but also needed a journal. I wanted something I could keep up on dates with and also be able to journal. Since I haven’t found my unicorn planner/journal. I decided to make my own. My sticker sets make it easy for me to make my grid lines and the lines on the journal aren’t so dark that they are intrusive on my calendar portion. The price is fantastic as most planners are more expensive. The plastic cover is hard and not flimsy. The paper is little thinner than I would like but still good. So far, I’m in love and plan on getting more.

This is not a durable notebook. Upon taking it out of the plastic wrap, the cover of the notebook was already falling out of the spiral. I’m sure I could slide it back through and pinch the spiral together, but if that’s what it takes to make a brand new notebook useable, I can only imagine how much of a headache this thing will be 100 pages in.The plastic covers are nice and heavy, and I was initially excited when I felt the weight of them, but this is not a notebook I’ll be able to use for months.The paper quality is a similar story. It’s definitely a nice heavy weight, but the structure of the spiral holes is so minimal you just know you’ll end up with multiple ripped edges and pages falling out. I can’t handle a notebook that’s going to fall apart. This is an instant return for me.
