CAGIE Spiral Leather Journal Writing Notebook, 6 Ring Binder Refillable Diary Notepads, Vintage Business Planner Personal Organizer, Agenda for Men Women, Grey

I actually really like this binder. It has a very elegant look to it and it’s perfect for what I needed.I don’t expect this to stand the test of time but I wanted to try a 6 ring agenda first before buying the expensive designer one.I come from a bullet planning notebook and I didn’t know if I’d like a binder. Well, you can still bullet journal on a 6 ring planner and it’s even better because you can move the pages around! I bought a few thick 120gsm dotted papers and it’s working wonderfully.I printed my own dashboard using Canva and my local printer shop. I feel so creative and it’s making me love my planner even more.A few cons that at the moment don’t bother me:- I wish it had pockets on the back. And I wish it had more pockets on the front- The rings are small, so you’re limited on the amount of pages you can put in- I’m concerned the magnetic clasp will fail with time but again, I don’t expect this to last foreverNote: the pen holder is not elastic but I didn’t have any issues finding pens that fit it.

This is exactly what I was looking for! The portfolio itself is of great quality, nice and sturdy. Additionally, the inserts are of great paper quality. There’s a place for everything! Great for home or work. Great for planning or just general organization.

This was definitely worth buying. It looks much more professional than my other DIY designed one. The other one was fun, was difficult to keep it from looking like a 13 year older school planner. The magnetic clip was also only useful if the binder was not too full. This one does not have that concern. It actually has the opposite effect. If the binder is not completely full, the clip will not stay in place and keep it closed. Sort of like pants not staying up without a belt. That being said, this binder is slightly smaller in dimension than my other a5 binder which is a very standard binder so it actually holds less. It was only comfortable once I removed the first 6 months of monthly calendars that I had already passed. This means that for me, it comfortably holds only 6 months at a time for my monthly calendars, but it does also hold the entire year for the weekly section so if I need to schedule or notated something outside that time frame, I can still record it in the weekly section and just add it to the monthly once I switch to the next 6 month period. The way I organize it is: Monthly calendar section, then weekly section, then amy extra section such as meal planning, notes, etc. This binder also came with 5 dividers that were actually the same width as the standard a5 page so I did have to add bookmark tabs to the dividers in order to extend the width enough to find the dividers between the pages. Still, I already had a several of these tabs so it was not hard to do that. I did purchase an Avery set of dividers for a5 binders and found that they had the same problem of the tabs not being wide enough to find between the pages so I figured I would have to add bookmark tabs to any dividers for the same size binder.Other than that, it's been a great notebook and the blank pages it comes with will save me cost once I need to add new pages for notes. Even if I only used this as a writing notebook, it would still be worth purchasing.

This is exactly what I wanted/expected with one exception. The flap that includes the magnetic closure doesn't feel right to me. With a pen (even a slim one) in the pen loop, the flap wasn't really long enough. Worse it kept getting in the way of my hand as I was writing - it would curl up and into the outer edge of my right hand instead of lying flat. Finally, the closing 'snap' was not very secure or satisfying. So ... I ended up ripping the seams and pulling off the snap flap. I think I'm happier with it now. :)

I recommend this product.

I rarely write reviews for stuff I buy online but I have to for this one. I looked at a lot of notebooks on Amazon. This one is more expensive than other binder notebooks but it had good ratings so I decided to try it. I am so pleasantly surprised by it! The quality is so much better than I expected. The texture is soft but sturdy. I love the dividers that it comes with. I’m learning a new language right now and I’m using it to categorize new words that I’m learning. And the paper is so thick that I’m enjoying writing on it.I highly recommend this! So worth the price I paid because I know I will get good use out of it.

There are a lot of planners out there, and some of them are REALLY expensive. As someone who wants something high quality but is unsure how a planner can cost $100+ I compromised on the Cagie and I'm so happy I did. The magnet closure is strong and I love the fabric look of the cover. The components all feel high quality and it came with a ton of dividers and paper. That said, I replaced a lot of stuff because it was all black and I wanted colorful dividers and I'm partial to grid and dot paper rather than lined, but that is not a fault of the planner, and I found the basic A5 refills and tab dividers I ordered fit the 6-ring binder perfectly. I plan on coming back for more colors for sure.

would’ve been perfect if it hadn’t arrived with damaged paint.
