Kokuyo Systemic Refillable Notebook Cover - Twin Ring Notebook with Edge Title - Semi B5 (7" X 9.8") - Normal Rule - 35 Lines X 40 Sheets - Black

My systemic notebook shipped out and arrived sooner than expected in great condition.

It's a great notebook overall. The design is just as lovely and professional-looking in person as it looks in these photographs. The paper is very smooth to write on. With my current favorite line of ball point pens, shadowing from the other side does occur. However, there is no bleed through. I may just write completely in pencil, or try to find other equally as nice pens to write with while using the lined pages inside. I will be using this notebook system primarily for my Japanese studies.

I will definitely order more from Jet Pens and more from the Kokuyo line for its great, sleek design and quality.

Great cover! The notebook is brilliant too. Love it with the 100 page inserts, the paper is smooth without feathering though agreed, there is some shadowing with dark ink. Toned down colours and lovely canvas makes it professional and nice to hold, plus it won't get worn out from changing bags etc. Very good staple to have on hand :)

Flimsy Piece Of Crap.

I wish I had not bought this. The picture does not represent what the product is really like in quality. It has the thinnest (AND smelly) cardboard inserts. My first thoughts upon taking it out of the plastic wrapping was that it felt like a product from Dollar Tree or the 99 Cent Store. Do yourself a favor and don't be fooled like I was...look elsewhere for a different refillable notebook cover. For me, unfortunately, because I took it out of the plastic, I am unable to return it. Grrr!!! This makes me mad. I can't believe Jet Pens would sell such a low quality item. Just remember: flimsy, flimsy, flimsy. $24 down the toilet. :(

I love this notebook cover. It fits two a5 notebooks on each side. And you can fit a simple tear off notepad in one of the outside pockets along with a pen. It's perfect because I have all the things I need in one place. Something to note, it will only fit one ring bound notebook at a time. But you can put a ring bound one in along with a sewn or adhesive bound one without issue. The koyuko dotted notebook fits in there perfectly.

This is my home desk personal writing log, the included notebook has a very soft paper as expected from a Japanese notebook. The cover is soft but seems to be very durable. I haven't made use of the pockets still, but they are there if needed. Maybe if used this notebook out of the house more often I would fill those pockets.
