Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder, A5 Clear Refillable Binder Notebook 20 Holes with 10 Extra Loose-Leaf Paper, Up to 25 Filler Papers for Work & Study, Japan Import (RU-SP130T)

It's a delicate binder and should be handled with care, but I think it's worth it. It is incredibly slim, and after I figured out the ring mechanism, I never want to go back to metal binder rings. The only thing I haven't liked is that the cover is so flexible that you really have to use the notebook on a flat surface; however I took a few minutes to DIY a shitajiki insert to add stability and it's perfect. I'm going to order more in other colors to hold old notes and journal pages.

Small! I should’ve done my research. still use this notebook tho. it’s slim and lightweight like expected. instructions are clear on the binding, it’s very easy to take and put pages in/out. comes with like 5 pages inside, paper is SOO smooth and soft in a way?

Good little (and I mean little) notebook. I didn’t notice it only comes with 10 sheets and for the price, I think it should come with at least 20. I immediately had to hop back on here and order paper refills. So $7 for the notebook and $6.10 for the refills for A5, yikes. This paper came highly recommended from some people in the fountain pen community, but I think I prefer my Emshoi notebook/journal as far as the way the pen writes on the paper. Seems a teeny bit scratchy with the Kakuno despite the paper feeling softer to the touch than the Emshoi. My Pilot Namiki fountain pen ink (cartridge) in purple doesn’t bleed through the other side. There is some ghosting though- I’ll include a picture for reference. Overall satisfied I guess, but not satisfied on the price vs quantity.Edit: I have since gotten a Kaweco fountain pen, and it writes smoother on this paper. So maybe some nibs just don’t play as well on different paper. I am getting feathering here and there though. I did some little ink swatches with a q tip on one sheet and it didn’t bleed through.I added a sticker to mine because it was too plain.

Super cute notebook ! Love how flat it is ! Definitely recommend ! Love how it closes and opens like a binder it’s great!

I got this for travel purpose, light weight, minimal design, but operation is a bit tricky.quality is good, ring closure is tight but for the ring closure operations, you would have to hold the binder in place and push the rings downward to release the hooks.

This notebook is great. It took me a few tries to figure out how to efficiently open the spine. Once I figured that out this notebook as been so easy to use. I added more sheets of paper to the notebook very easily as well. I had some lying around. I love the fact that it works like a standard spiral notebook without the metal spine and that I can change the arrangements of pages. Adding pages was a huge sell for me so when I fill out all the pages with notes I can just remove them and replace them with new pages instead of having to get another notebook. The plastic holds well and is flexible with out being flimsy. I love the A5 size and the variety of paper that is available for the notebook is nice. One of my coworkers liked my notebook so much she also got some.

This description is a lie. It holds way more pages than I anticipated. I was turned off by the 25 page limit but thank goodness I decided to purchase because it fits a lot of pages. Just buy the looseleafs in A5 size which are avaialable on Amazon for 6.5 bucks

At first it was a struggle cause I put too much paper but as long as you can limit yourself on how much paper you put then you should be fine :)
