KOKUYOCampus Smart Ring Binder Notebooks, A5, 20 Capacity, 26 Rings, Light Blue, Perfect for Class or Work, Japan Import (RU-SP130LB).

INSTRUCTIONS: First off, it has a lock to protect the binder. To take off the lock, place your finger through the bottom hole of the lock and push it out to the left. If you get stuck here, grab onto the bottom tabs on the side and pull those out. Next hold the lock and pull it up. To open the binder rings, press the plastic button on the top. Make sure you don’t block the bottom part of the spine or else it won’t open. To close the binder, you pinch the rings together.It’s a very slim and portable binder with a nice pink pastel color. It’s best paired with Kokuyo campus paper which can also be found on amazon. The maximum amount of pages it can hold is 25 but I was able to squeeze in 40. Though if you overload the binder too much it will have a difficult time closing and your pages will easily fall out. I wouldn’t suggest being rough with this binder. It holds pretty well, but also feels fragile if handled carelessly. The paper is very silky and high quality. It feels smooth to run pen ink over it. Unfortunately, b5 plastic sheet protectors will stick out. I’ve used maruman clear pockets, so the kokuyo campus clear pockets /may/ fit better. This binder seems to be best for holding paper and not plastic sheet protectors.Overall, the Kokuyo brand is very high quality as most Japanese stationery products are. This binder is a great way to save buying multiple notebooks. It’s easily refillable and portable to carry around. If you want a binder that is a little more studier and can hold more pages, I would get the 60 page version of this binder, which is a lot thicker and more sturdy.

I Personally loved the notebook I think it is perfect in size and very convenient. I put index cards on the notebook (hole punched them). Though it’s more efficient to buy a 26 ring hole puncher and the paper which can be inconvenient but it’s worth it. The notebooks are very light weight and best for highschool and college students who don’t want to carry heavy weight. The paper capacity is pretty high as well I’ve been using them for around a week and take many notes and only have used 4 pages in total thought I think the spirals can my a little sensitive as long as your responsible you will be fine. Overall it was a very good purchase and came fast!!

this notebook is absolutely wonderful! the paper is so soft and smooth, pens and highlighters glide like a dreammmm!!! ive heard so many good things about this brand of notebooks and it really lived up to my expectations!!! instructions are in japanese but google translate quickly fixed that! i 100% recommend this product!!!

This notebook is smaller than typical copy paper.The notebook itself comes with 10 sheets of paper. If you want more, I highly suggest Muji's paper. They sell about 100 sheets of graph paper for this notebook for 2 bucks, which is cheaper compared to the campus paper on amazon. I do like the campus paper it comes with, but personally it is too much money.The notebook cover is sturdy and a medium-thick plastic.The cover is see through, so keep that in mind.The listed paper capacity is 25 sheets.I believe it is listed as so, because if you were to fold it like a spiral notebook to write on just one page, all the rings are closed.I have been able to fit 40 sheets of paper comfortably, but you cannot fold it over to write on just one page. The rings will spread apart.I noticed that after 50 sheets of paper, the rings no longer close fully, so paper has a chance of falling out.I personally love this notebook. I like to use one notebook per class, and typically I do not fully use a notebook. This allows me to use it as a regular notebook, but when I am done I can replace the pages.I also scan all of my notes into my computer for safekeeping (and so I don't keep notebooks around for years on end), and having the paper come out with no fringe is a bonus.The other added bonus is that I can take out a sheet of paper and write on it, if writing in the notebook is hard. Rearranging pages is also lovely, and very useful for notes and inserting diagrams.I have not personally tried to hole punch things to put in the binder, but I have heard about people using Carl's 26 hole puncher with great success. It is possible if you would want to create your own paper for the notebook.The only thing I wish I could change is how many pages it could hold. It would be lovely if it could hold around 70 to 100 pages, like most US standard notebooks.

Love this so muchIt is very slim, so doesnt take much space in my bag or doesnt weight much eitherAnd the quality of paper refill is so nice and thick(doesnt bleed through no matter what writing tool you use)I feel like I can just take notes all day LOLIt comes with 10 pages only with the binder,So definitely need to order refill to useI am glad I ordered the package for 2 packs of refill for cheaper than buying 2 seperateYou can put many pages of paperBut they start to get jammed on the side when you put more than 30-ish pages, so I just put 20-25 at once to carryIt is just so nice, slim, pretty, reasonable, convenient...If you are looking for a notebook, try this instead of traditional boring, thick, heavy, ugly ones :)Im definitely going to order more of different color ones

The lines a narrower than most notebooks, you can fit so much more on a single page. Makes the most of the paper you use, and makes less weight to carry around. Thank you seller. I only wish you sold the notebooks with more paper. If you sold jumbo notebooks in this color, with like, a 1000 pages, id probly buy every one. Im addicted to office supplies, but im also very picky. The nicest stuff out there are always asian brands.

Es una calidad excelente aunque pensé que las hojas serían más densas, el envío fue bastante rápido, recomendado

A fantastic ring binder. Opening and closing is so easy, making it no hassle to add refills. Flexible front and back covers but sturdy at the same time. Would recommend!

The binder is so great and the paper by same brand is butter smooth and an absolute dream to use.

Excelente produto. Chegou exatamente como o esperado: em perfeito estado.

I especially like the refined lines and little dots on the papers. Fine Japanese art!
