This notebook is everything I hoped it would be. It fits in my back pocket, the pages flip over the top, and after you've broken it in for a few days, the cover flips over to the backside and you can hold the whole thing flat in one hand. I love the little elastic strap that holds it shut, and the pocket inside that you can slip business cards and papers into, without them being inclined to fall out. The pocket has the opening towards the binding, so when you hold the notebook in any direction, the contents of the pocket are safe.
