Because the compact zip doesn't have a clasp, you can use this organiser the other way around, so the external pocket could be on the front and the pen loop on the front instead of the back. <br /><br />The Cuban Zip is configured in this way with it's external pocket on the front. <br /><br />So if you prefer the configuration the other way around it isSteve Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062727836545335187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-39710384529845510592012-06-05T16:46:31.395-04:002012-06-05T16:46:31.395-04:00I don't know the name of the technician - h do...I don't know the name of the technician - h does work for branches of the Pen Shop around the country (i know this because Debbie in Cardiff told me so) - what a dream job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-56323205822684932482012-06-05T16:33:29.364-04:002012-06-05T16:33:29.364-04:00@David Popely - would I be correct in thinking you...@David Popely - would I be correct in thinking your pen is off to see Eric Wilson in Edinburgh?

Amazing number of card slots, probably still not enough, but it's hard to see how this could be beaten.
