  10. Can anyone tell me about a pocket Iguana? I bought one over the weekend and I'm confused on the page thing. Amazon is still offering the slotted pages for 2016, though I thought Filofax had quit making them? If not, do I need to re-punch or can I just slot the last hole on the page? TIA

    1. The pocket Iguana has the 4-rings layout that is not compatible with the current 6-rings pocket Filofax (or other brands) inserts. I don't believe you can just slot the last hole as the spacings are different on top also. You can still find some 2016 Filofax inserts with the oblong holes on the top 2 and bottom 2 positions. If you print your own inserts, I believe the 4 middle holes on the Franklin Covey hole punch for its pocket size is the same as the 4-rings older Filofax spacings. I can check that for you if needed (it's been a while since I used it).

    2. If you re-punch the non-slotted pages with a personal punch they will fit your 4 ring pocket

    3. lisa,
      I went over to Amazon and looked at the 2016 inserts. You may have to confirm with the seller before buying them but it looks like the image is not from 2016 (Jan 1 is on the wrong day of the week).

    4. T-na: I knew there was something wrong with that picture…good eye and thank you! If you could please check the Franklin Covey punch I would greatly appreciate it.

      Steve: Thank you. I will try that when my Iguana arrives. I found a helpful post on the Vintage Filofax Users Facebook page, but I've since lost it. Lots good information there, thanks again.

    5. lisa: I checked my notes and it was the 4 middle holes of the Franklin Covey Compact setting hole punch, not the Pocket setting. FC Compact hole spacing is the same as Filofax Personal so Steve was correct. When I was doing this, I marked the punch so I know where to line up the pages.

    6. Thanks so much for checking, T-na. Great idea to mark the punch; I am notoriously bad at hole-punching so we'll see how I go.
