The pictures are always great. I would also like to know can the planner be used as a wallet? Is there a big back slot for bills and a big coin pocket for change? Are there any reported problems with the rings? Does the "leather like" material scratch easily, tear easily or just flake Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-31936805674764518042014-04-08T06:37:33.066-04:002014-04-08T06:37:33.066-04:00Thanks for all the comments, I might be able to do...Thanks for all the comments, I might be able to do something about the details of the construction without taking a stanley knife to the organisers. <br /><br />I'm not sure how we test for general wear and tear without accelerating the process some how. Otherwise in two or three years a particular model might have been phased out, sure it would help from buying a second hand one I suppose. <Steve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-34847913954029961252014-04-07T15:33:19.840-04:002014-04-07T15:33:19.840-04:00I totally agree with Tim and Josh that constructio...I totally agree with Tim and Josh that constructions details of the reviewed binders should be focused on. However, due to my recent search for a suitable The Original A5 in yellow, I would like to add that especially with probably semi-hand and UK-made binders like the Original, it seems to be quite problematc to give a final and rather overall impression.

I am also interested in the construction details of binders; how the leather is cut, how the pockets are finished, where stiffening boards are utilized and such. <br /><br />At risk of sounding like a jerk, I also think that if a question is answered in a review or informational post on philofaxy, and the same question is posted (over and over and over) again on facebook, thatJosh LaPortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772883862662679235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-86089252824197683592014-04-07T10:39:40.516-04:002014-04-07T10:39:40.516-04:00I think the wear over time issue would be high on ...I think the wear over time issue would be high on my list.

It's therefore difficult to be truly critical of a product even if the workmanship or design is inadequate. However, I prefer reviews that are "robust" in their assessment, clearly explaining the good and bad points.
