MeePlus - Mini Reporter

Following on from my previous review of the MeePlus SlimPad A5 binders back in July this year. MeePlus contacted me again to discuss a new product they had released. 

MeePlus kindly sent me a sample of their recently introduced Mini Reporter ring bound notebook. 

This notebook is a three ring design, the same spacing (19mm) as our beloved Filofax organisers, so I was interested! The paper size is the same as Filofax Mini, but with the rings at the top of the page rather than at the side.

Putting the rings at the top of the page makes it so much easier to write in. However, if you want to you can use the MeePlus Mini Reporter in landscape format with the rings at the side and write on the pages in what some would consider to be the 'normal' way. 

Another three ring binder, was the now discontinued Filofax M2, it used pages of slightly different dimensions, but very close in size, you used them in landscape format rather than portrait. 

The MeePlus is a very simple design, a leather cover that is approximately 1.8mm thick with a set of rings attached to the leather, with a smart metal spine plate over the attachments for the rings. 

You can also add a closure band as an accessory, this is attached to a stiff page size divider made of a man-made material. 

Also available is a simple ring protector and a leather card holder, which would be very useful if you were using the MeePlus Mini Reporter for your shopping list and you could keep your store-card or bank card in the card holder. 

The rings are 11mm in size and it states on the MeePlus website that they aren't made by Krause, but on inspection they seem to be well made and should provide years of service. 

The outer leather cover is available in four different types of leather and four in different colours. 

I opted for the Buttero leather in dark brown for this sample of the MeePlus Mini Reporter. 

The MeePlus Mini Reporter arrived very well packed and contained in a neat box with the notebook in a cloth bag.

The band, ring protector, card holder and paper. 

Taking a closer look at the Mini Reporter.

Turning it on its side. 

And then opening it up without any contents, good 'flatability'. 

A close up of the card holder. 

For comparison of the page sizes, Filofax M2 at the top, Filofax Mini in the middle and MeePlus Mini Reporter at the bottom. 

And in their normal intended orientation. Filofax M2 at the top, MeePlus Mini Reporter and Filofax Mini. 

As you will see the MeePlus Mini Reporter is much more compact that the two Filofax options of similar page size. Filofax Mini Malden at the top, MeePlus Mini Reporter in the middle and Filofax M2 at the bottom. 

I have previously used my Mini Filofax and an M2 Filofax as a wallet/notebook, but they have always seemed to be too big for my pockets when carrying them. The MeePlus Mini Reporter however, does slip in to the back pocket of my jeans comfortably, you almost don't notice that it's there. 

You will note that there is no provision for a pen/pencil, it is was something that Filofax didn't always include on their M2 organisers either. However, looking at Amazon there are plenty of pen loops you could use to and they could be attached to the band insert. I would also look for a mini pen to go with the Mini Reporter, these would be fine for quick notes.

You can also put your Mini Reporter pages of notes in to a Personal Size organiser as well. There is a small over-hang but nothing tragic. 

Lora of MeePlus describes the Mini Reporter along side the MeePlus Mini5 notebook. 

The MeePlus Mini Reporter is 120mm x 82mm x 15mm (H, W, D) using a page size of 105mm x 67mm

And for comparison the Filofax M2 uses pages 103mm x 64mm and Filofax Mini 105mm x 67mm 

All of them use rings spaced by 19mm, the Filofax Mini uses 5 rings, the M2 just 3 rings. 

Thank you to the people at MeePlus for supplying me with the Mini Reporter and a full range of accessories and inserts.
