Journal Cover for Field Notes Notebooks Moleskine Cahier 3.5 x 5.5 with zipper pen holder, Water Resistant Pocket Notebook Cover for Journal Notebook planner, Classy Waxed Canvas, Olive

Compared to a lochby. Which I’ve had two. This is my favorite of the “knockoffs”. Great price. The canvass is a much coarser weave than the lochby. Doesn’t feel particularly waxy. Will probably wax it myself. But the main takeaway is this is slightly bigger than the lochby in the right places. Pictures taken are with both notebooks holding a rhodia web notebook. Hardback and a lot of pages. The lochby feels stretched when you stuff this notebook in it. The spine of the tintris or whatever it’s called is slightly thicker. As well as the other dimensions. But the spine thickness is what allows it to accommodate thicker notebooks. The interior pockets will accommodate flip notebooks. Staple bound or spiral. But they don’t take up as much space and feels like to much bulk for that amount of paper. But I love this one for its ability to hold my favorite pocket notebook. I would not have bought it if the zippers were not ykk. And at first I didn’t like the idea of having two zippers. But you can push one in further and hide it and have the usual exposed one. Compared to the lochby which opens the same way every time. The tintris allows you to choose where to park the zippers. Also the backing ( whatever they use to stiffen the back) is thicker and stiffer on the tintris. It feels beefier. But mainly it accommodates my favorite pocket notebook so it moves into 1st place in this category. I still like the lochby if you are going to use their size notebook or a small staple bound clairfontaine. It is small and flexible so if no pens are in it you can throw it in your back pocket and not worry about anything being smushed bad. And lochby uses tomoe river paper. I think the old stock because it is one of the best for fountain pens. The one that comes with this is not. Only my diamond registrars ink on an Ef nib doesn’t bleed through or ghost. Everything else does. It does have a nifty pen slot built into the front of the cover. But if they used the 52 gsm tomoe river paper those would have been killer notebooks. They work if you use gel or ballpoint tho

I carry this everyday and call it my brain. It fits in my pocket without any discomfort, holds the pens very securely, and has space inside for more than one notebook. The fabric seems very durable, the zipper has not had any issues, and overall seems to be a very fine quality notebook holder.

Pretty pleased with this product. I've been carrying it a few weeks now. It feels "utilitarian," like a product that's supposed to be used. Solid zipper with no misbehaving. Solid stitching that doesn't feel like it will fail in months or a few years. Holds (1) 3×5 hardcover and (3) 3x5 "field notes" style notebooks with no issue fighting to zip it closed. Not for a front pocket, and won't fit in most back pockets, but has no problem with the cargo pockets I have personally. The pockets on the front and back exterior are a bit tight; I can fit a regular size pen and mechanical pencil with no problem, but a bigger barrel on a pen might be a struggle. I haven't found a practical use for the exterior pocket on the back, perhaps if I wasn't carrying as many notebooks as I am it would be looser, but as is paper or card stock isn't stiff enough; a thin plastic ruler or something like it would probably work. Inside pockets are sufficient for a few cards likely, but I don't use them.You can certainly find fancier covers but I think this is great as a "working" cover at a fair price.

It’s not exactly pocket sized, it’s a little bit larger than the field notes so they kind of slide around inside - that doesn’t really make it worse it’s just something I don’t love.

Really good build quality and feel. The materials are good and the zipper is strong. I’ve added a moleskin notebook and I can also slip a field notes notebook as well. I pen/pencil loop would have been cool but you can easily toss a fisher space pen inside so no big deal for me. Outer pocket is nice to clip larger pens to and the inside pockets are useful as well. This is an easy recommend.

This is a rugged well-built little journal. I take it everywhere and use it almost daily. It holds a lot of pens and pencils too. The zipper seems to be high quality. I would buy it again.

Very nice to be able to carry all my cash, cards and a notepad.

perfect little book to have the only downfall is it has no pen holder other than the pocket and it does not hold the pen very well. The book does fit in your pocket so that is a plus.
