Bizarre that FF would release a product without any marketing. (Steve, have you seen any releases about this product? ). Now that I have seen your photos, it makes it a lot clearer. I will definitely check this out in WH Smith, and see how heavy it feels.

When I converted a Filofax Flex to create a slimline ringed A5 (as featured on Philofaxy in July 2012) I had to use 13mm Time Manager rings. The drawback is that that used TMI A5 ring spacing which is the same as Filofax Personal rather than Filofax A5.
