Rhodia Pad Holder and Pad of Paper
Best small form factor pad holder
I have a dilemma with most notebooks: for me either they are pocket size and affordable but get shredded in my pockets (the spiral bound ones you get at the drug store), or they are too expensive and nice and I don’t want to write in them or tear out pages (Like Moleskine and similar).
When I found the Rhodia Pad Holder and Pad, I realized I found the right balance of durable and affordable.
The holder is made of black leather, and sort of looks like a wallet. It has a front and back pocket. I have found I like to keep two note books in it, but I’ve also carried one note book and some business cards. It’s size and shape fit easily into a pocket. The holder is just bigger than the pad: so it takes a beating, while it keeps its notebooks looking fresh.
The pads that they make for it are great as well. The are backed with stiff cardboard, bound with a staple, thin plastic cover to keep the elements off, pages perforated. Lined or grid: your choice. And, their color scheme is orange and black! They are just nice enough that you want to keep them around, but no so nice you don’t mind marking them up.
Another thing: it includes a pen loop that fits a Fisher Space Pen perfectly, but I’d very much recommend adding a pen clip to your pen. Because what good is a pad with no pen? It’s easy to pull the writing part of the pen out to make a quick note, or to pull the pen and cap out to make a full pen and do some writing.
