Livescribe AAA-00016 Review by SavageLove (CA, USA)
I had been looking for a way to protect my pen when I take it out and about, since I used to take it out in a little pouch I have which did not offer a lot of protection. I was returning a pen case, which did not fit my pen since it was an Echo and the case was for the Pulse, to Best Buy when I saw this case. Since I prefer the small A5 notebook to the regular sized single or three subject notebooks, this case is perfect for me. A word of warning, this portfolio only fits the smaller notebook and journals, since Livescribe has not made one for the bigger notebooks. Then again, there are already portfolios for regular sized notebooks, so if you truly need one, you can find one.
Material: I give this a 5/5. The outside is a sort of faux leather material that has a nice feel to it, it is mostly smooth with a slight texture, and it looks nice. The inside is a sort of smooth, but slightly rough fabric. This fabric gives enough cushion and smoothness for the pen to go in, stay in and get out of the holder without the back of the pen being scratched or damaged in anyway. The portfolio looks and feels nice.
Notebook Slot: This gets a 5/5. It is strong enough to hold the notebook in place as you write, but it is easy to slide the cover into and out of the slot. Also, the notebook will not jerk up and down in the slot to any kind of movement, it is stuck in place which is nice because you do not have to worry about it working itself out of the slot.
Side Slots: I give this a 2/5. The slots in the front cover of the portfolio are too small to really hold anything that I need. It would have been nice if they were at least big enough to hold one of the flip notepads or if they were big enough to hold pages from the A5 notebooks. You could put the ink refills there but it was so tight I was afraid they might break. So, for me, these slots are useless because they are too small to hold anything I would like it too.
Bookmark String: This gets a 5/5. This is a nice feature that I have never seen in a portfolio before. The ability to mark where you are in your notebook without having to flip through a bunch of pages is a good feature. I like it and use it a lot.
Elastic Band for the Pen: I give this a 4/5. This does the job of keeping the pen secure to the portfolio. I have not dropped the portfolio yet, but I have walked with it in my hands and the motion of my hand did not cause the pen to move out of the slot. However, the roughness of the band gave me concern when I first saw it and my concern was right on. On the rubber grip, I can see tiny scratches from the band. I would have liked for there to be a smooth cushion to protect the pen from getting scratched. As long as you do not let the band anywhere else but the rubber grip, the rest of the pen will be fine.
Elastic Band for the Covers: I give this a 4�/5. The band keeps the portfolio closed just fine. There is enough elastic in the band for it to hold the portfolio closed if there was nothing in it or if there was more than just a notebook in it. The only thing I would have liked was either a slightly raised area or a small strip to the side that would give you a better grip to remove the band from around the cover. I have really short finger nails so it is sometimes hard to get a grip on the band, it just more annoying than a defect to me.
Cost: This is a 4/5. It could have been cheaper, but the convenience in carrying a notebook around with a safe place to put the pen made it worth the price. It is a nice looking, feeling and well put together portfolio that is worth the price.
Protection: I give this a 5/5. The notebook has held up for the last four months I've had it. I've carried it around in my hands and in my backpack, and the portfolio protects the notebook and pen just fine. I have yet to drop it with the pen inside, so I cannot speak to that. If I ever do, I will edit my review to include my opinion of that. But, I think that the pen will be well protected form a fall.
Overall, the portfolio is a nice accessory for the pen that will allow you to use one item to transport both the pen and the notebook at the same time. It is a good buy at a slightly expensive price that that reason alone.
Livescribe AAA-00016 Review by M. G. Rich "MG2R" (Lexington, KY)
The perfect size to stash in a small briefcase/purse! Not too expensive, decent product for the money and remarkably absent of the "smell" reported in previous reviews. Either they changed something or freezing cold gets rid of the purported stench. I suppose you could try storing it between the peas and popsicles for a couple days if it really bothers you...
Livescribe AAA-00016 Review by Cressida (Australia)
Check description carefully, it only takes the starter book size, so your letter or A4 don't fit. There should be 2 sizes!
