Madness. Presumably someone (maybe a left hander, like me!) thought: “personal is a great size. If only it was a bit wider”.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to check dimensions to compare with custom VDS I had to make sure, but I think this binder should allow one to us Franklin Covey Compact size inserts, which are wider than FF Personal.
ReplyDeleteIf you take Filofax Personal Size (95x171mm) as a base line. The Touch Me Standard is designed to hold those with 30mm rings, you can also opt for 25mm rings if you wish.
DeleteGoing to FC compact increases the page width by 13mm. 'Standard Wide/Personal Wide' is 26mm wider. B6 is 30mm wider.
So if these are true to the design at 26mm wider with 30mm rings. If you opt for 25mm rings then they will be able to hold B6 as well.
B6 is a much better size, 4mm wider and a shade taller, but being an ISO size rather than a made up size (Personal Wide) all ISO size inserts (A4, A5 etc) are scalable to B6 size easily. Personal Wide almost requires a new design. Philofaxy will not be supporting Personal Wide size inserts. Our inserts do work for B6 size though. A4 > B6 = 59%
