Packaging Isn't Hardy
Leather Cover:<br />The leather seems to be around 1.5mm in thickness and the side pockets are around 3.0mm since it is the same leather doubled over which means that it grasps the notebooks very well, it protects the notebooks very well, and it is a good hefty weight in the hands. The threaded binding used for the pockets is very sturdy, but watch out be careful about how you insert your notebooks in-between the leather since it might catch itself in the wrong place and you might end up bending the notebook itself. As far as notebooks go leatherette seem to slide in nicely and paper sometimes gets caught. I recommend this cover for most pocket notebooks and anyone who is looking for a simple cover without a string to close it or a rubber line to hold the notebooks in place.<br /><br />Packaging:<br />The packaging for the product is card-stock that lends itself to being crushed and bent very easily. This lead to the leather cover becoming bent on one side. In the pictures I've provided I placed a pen on either side of the cover to show the unbent side and the obvious bend on the crushed side. I would recommend buying this product with other orders so that you might get a box instead of an envelope that is used for single orders.<br /><br />I hope that they find better packaging for the product. I'm not talking about the orange envelop it's shipped in but how the product itself is packaged in the white cardstock box. It's a gamble when it comes to shipping and hopefully you get folks who handle your package with care.<br /><br />Besides that I would definitely buy again but I would try to buy more than one product from them to see if they might package them in a box instead so that they can be shipped over safer.
