One of the best product reviews I've seen--thank you very much!!
Vielen Dank for this review, I love when people give reviews that are more than just talking for 10 minutes to justify their purchases.
I bought this binder recently. It's practical and delightful to the eye and to touch. The version I have is the one with the thin elastic closure, similar to the Travellers notebook.
Thanks for the review. I use thicker notebooks and attach the clamps to the back cover. Works really well!
Got myself one with much stiffer leather and it is not as floppy as yours. Yes, that simple stitxhing adds to the bulk, but I find it easy t carry. Still getting used to it, using it only with one notebook - my Rhodia Goalbook, other clips only for add on papers/ invoices/ bills.
I suppose for many it comes down to whether you want a stiffer product or the more floppy type. Their website is a mess for sure, but I find many websites of smaller producers are lacking. An easily navigated website is a must. That they removed the functionality options is disappointing. Pen and pencil holders is pretty nonnegotiable for me, so I’m torn about whether I would buy one or not.
I wholeheartedly agree that their website is hard to navigate. It's hard to understand the difference between each cover model, and the sizing is also not immediately easy to grasp. I've emailed them to ask about VAT charges (since I'm in the UK, my order shouldn't have VAT added) but still no reply.
I do not think you quite understand how to use the clamps for all they can be used for/all the ways they can be used. Watch a few other Roterfaden videos, see how they use them. I gather you are not a fan, even mentioning the spine being “lumpy” just where the grooves should be running down the spine eventually to hold the clamps. This is what I see in this review. Not a fan of the website either, eh.
Leather looks great. Good flatability too. Interesting. I'm also keen to value products with a low carbon footprint. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent review! This is the first time I watched anything about Roterfaden and I feel well prepared; objective and personal points you have included are really helpful together with showing all the features like moving out the clasps and showing their functionality. Thank you!
with the bigger notebook you put the clamps in the hole were the material is not attached to the inside paper … slide those clamps in there and it holds 🤷🏻♀️
Brilliant review. I 100 percent agree that the website is terrible. With some of the versions, it's difficult to judge the layout because you have to rely on photos with odd angles that don't show the whole.
I bought the printing blanket + merino (DB_22) to prevent the floppiness. Mine is quite stiff and lays totally flat. Also, the merino pockets are not loose or tight, they hold things quite well. I think the clips stay better where you put them in the traditional elastic spine ones as well.
Very thoughtful and thorough review! Thank you for helping people to decide what is right for them!
Excellent, detailed review! I'll definitely check out your other videos as well, it is really nice too see a very practical and detailed review such as this - when you pulled out the A5 measured paper I was so happy - no one ever does this! :D
Very nice review. I used to use x17 system, but moved towards filofax/william hannah which can accomodate more and is more modular. Also flatability of inserts is nonexistent and requires strong bending of the notepad to stay flat unfortunatelly or you might loose the clamp hold while doing it. Thank you. Great review as always.
