What I'm suggesting is reducing the overlap so that the leather cover has the same height and width as the actual paper. In fact, you could actually use rings as big as 30mm and still get it into your pocket, if there was no overlap.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669491851149203943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-52964085330631878052012-03-16T14:48:34.117-04:002012-03-16T14:48:34.117-04:00@Jotje, I actually quite like the Lyndhurst (I use...@Jotje, I actually quite like the Lyndhurst (I use an A4 Lyndhurst at work) but I just find that whilst I can just about fit a "pocket" sized filofax in my pocket, I have to take it out when I am driving or sitting down.

I personally use a Flex Slim wallet (150mm x 85mm) in grey. it's manly enough and I take it around with me when my A5 is too big to carry. It holds credit cards, business cards, bank notes, year planner, notepad, pen etc. and fits in a jacket or trouser pocket.
