    Awesome holder

    I could not be happier when i decided to add this small notepad holder to my cart. The design, the quality, the leather texture, thick leather but soft when you feel it. Too bad i haven't find the exact notepad, the notepad sold here mostly lil bit wider. The moral lesson, find the notepad 1st and get this beautiful crafted notepad holder.

    Almost perfect

    I love my medium sized notepad holder. Its the perfect size, look beautiful, takes a beating, and will only improve with age. So why not 5 stars? The two loose paper folders on the left side do not have enough space inside them to insert a piece of paper. Dimensionally they are fine, but the leather is sewn so tightly together you can't get loose paper all the way in. My solution has been to inset any loose papers into a manila folder, as the folder has enough strength that it can be pushed all the way in. Not ideal, but it works. It would be great in a future update if Saddleback were to add a small spacer strip of leather along the left and bottom edges to fix this problem. Knowing this, would I still but it? Absolutely.

    DCB Medium Notepad Holder

    I own multiple pieces of Saddleback Leather and truly love them all.. I was in need of a new Notepad Holder, but was a bit hesitant to drop $148... I saw a DCB Medium Notepad Holder on Dave’s Deals at 25% off, so grabbed it understanding it might have a defect, but wouldn’t affect it’s use and performance.. Wow !! Received the Notepad Holder today and it is beautiful.. The “defect” is subtly obvious.. There are beautiful stretch marks that reach across the entire front and back of the Notepad Holder.. What great character.. I couldn’t have hand picked a piece with more character and beauty of the hide… Perfect

    Small Tobacco Notepad Holder

    I purchased the small notepad holder in tobacco. I am based in the UK: Delivery time was good and the item was well packaged. The quality of this item is outstanding, you can tell straight away that this thing is going to take one helluva beating and last to tell the tale. The one I received had some great markings on the front, looks like the Cow had a right good itch against a barbed wire fence.. plus some smaller fly/mosquito bites. None of these detract from the beauty or quality of the item, they are entirely visual only and make it look better in my opinion. Mine was shipped in the closed position and remains that way when you close it, no popping open of its own accord or anything. You can see why the rivets were added, those internal pockets open quite far when pulled, so the rivets strengthen the corners well. The feel, colour and smell of the holder is fantastic. Things to KEEP IN MIND when choosing: - If you are in the UK, this holder takes A6 notepads or smaller. It is too small for A5(common small paper size) - The pen holder in the middle is big but doesn't affect the closing of pad. - The positioning of the pen holder means that when you close the pad the edges do not line up (like if you folded a piece of paper in half) - not an issue, just an observation. I actually think that once the leather becomes more supple this will loosen up a bit. - A6 not A5. - The pad is too heavy to negotiate a single item discount for international shipping. - Remember you have the cost of the pad + Shipping ($25 in my case) + THIEVING UK CUSTOMS IMPORT CHARGES. The post office would not release my package for delivery until I paid them £20 (about $30) - I think I said A6 somewhere. Did I actually mention how brilliant this thing is? if you're prepared to take on board the above.. go get it!

    Fantastic quality, a real winner.

    At first I was hesitant to fork out the dough for the large notebook cover. I love my saddleback messenger bag, but I had a hard time justifying the cost of something that seemed like such a basic item. But, I had some extra money, so I figured I'd give it a try. Let me tell you- from the outset, I was thrilled with the purchase. This thing is heavy duty, and very well padded. It is a HUGE upgrade over the office supply store pleather portfolio I was using prior to this. The pigskin lining on mine is exceptionally soft, and I sometimes find myself running my fingers over it just because I love how it feels. Just like my messenger bag, it fills the room with that leather smell. I am very involved in a voluntary bible education work that requires me to walk for miles in a day in all sorts of weather. While my old lesser quality portfolio did do the job of keeping my literature dry and allowing me to take my essential notes, it had never brought me the joy of ownership this item has.
