Travelers Notebook Cover with Inner Pockets, Card Slots and Pen Holder, A5 Size, Dark Brown

Perfect travelers notebook/notebook cover if you have a lot of stuff. Beautiful, thick, quality leather. It is stiff, but will likely soften with use. Very versatile. Pockets are great, and elastics are nice and thick for durability. I've always liked the modular functionality of traveler's notebooks, but I prefer spiral notebooks for some things. I have been using a KOKUYO Systemic notebook cover as a daily carry for my two spiral notebooks and traditional TN inserts, all A5 size. The KOKUYO setup has worked perfectly for a few years, and I love the organization, but the fabric cover is starting to get a little worn. I was on the hunt for a leather cover that I could simply put my entire KOKUYO binder into to give it a bit of an upgrade. With that idea in mind, I looked at leather bible covers to accommodate the thickness of my full setup. I then came across this one and purchased the A5 size, even though I was worried it might be too small. The size is perfect! It has plenty of room for two A5 spiral notebooks. I also currently have two smaller TN inserts in the elastics, but could easily add two more. Photos show this notebook set up both ways. One way is as the standalone travelers notebook as it's intended to be, and the other way is covering the full KOKUYO. This is a nice, sturdy, quality piece that will last for years. For the price point, I'm glad I took a chance on it. And I wanted to share my review to let people know that this cover can also accommodate spiral notebooks.

I am very pleased with the newestor Travelers Notebook Cover (A5 size) with inner pockets, card slots, and pen holder. Shipping was prompt, and the cover arrived securely packaged and in excellent condition. The protective wrapping helped preserve the material and ensured it was ready for immediate use. In terms of product quality, the notebook cover feels sturdy and thoughtfully constructed. The material has a pleasant texture that balances durability with a refined look. The stitching appears solid, and I have confidence the cover will hold up well to regular handling. The A5 size fits standard journals and planners comfortably, with no awkward overhang or strain on the edges. The internal organization is a standout feature. Multiple pockets and card slots provide plenty of room for IDs, business cards, notes, and receipts, which helps keep essentials neatly accessible. The integrated pen holder is a convenient addition, ensuring I never have to search for a writing instrument when I need one. The layout feels intuitive and enhances the overall functionality of the notebook cover without adding unnecessary bulk. From a value perspective, this travelers notebook cover offers excellent utility for the price. It elevates a basic notebook into a more organized, travel-ready tool for daily planning, journaling, or professional use. Overall, this is a high-quality, practical accessory that combines style and functionality, and I would confidently recommend it.

This leather cover is beautifully made. It has a nice weight to it and feels sturdy in your hands. Smells of leather and is packaged well. It was delivered a week earlier than the expected delivery date, which was a pleasant surprise. It has 4 straps for notebooks/inserts. It has a back pocket which you could put another notebook/insert in, as well as one in the front (you could add another notebook/insert) and 3 smaller pockets to put whatever you need, stickers, ephemera, receipts etc. I have a stalogy 365 B6 in the back strap with a jelly cover, a B6 Life Noble Note book with 100 sheets in the middle strap with a jelly cover (almost the same thickness as the stalogy) and a Life Vermilion B6 note book with 32 sheets in the front strap (still have an extra strap). All 3 fit nicely. It has a pen loop and overall this exceeded my expectations. The only thing I’m a little bummed out about is, it has this lighter colored stripe going horizontally across the lower portion of the front and back cover and the same stripe going vertically on the inside cover. I know over time this will naturally “patina” and accumulate scratches and get worn in, which is what we all want, right?! 😅 So I’m not too upset about it but it does draw your eye right to that stripe, hard not to notice. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this leather cover and I have! I’ve told some friends about it because I can’t believe the quality and how satisfying this feels in my hand. I look forward to work in it and breaking it in.

I own a lot of different brands of TNs ranging from inexpensive to relatively expensive (purchased on sale). My very favorite TNs come from 2 shops (one is no longer in business and the other stopped making its better quality TNs; now it just offers basic boring TNs in every color imaginable). This TN has the best features at a price that makes it a steal - book binding spine (so inserts and notebooks evenly sit in it), strings (for inserts), and pockets (for notebooks folio-style and stashing). It’s not the most luxurious leather, but it’s thick and sturdy and still soft enough to wrap around a notebook or stack of inserts or both. Best of all are the variety of sizes (my faves are a6, b6, a5, and the traditional TN size) and very reasonable prices. My only wish is that there were more color options, but brown is the traditional TN color for a reason - you can carry it every day and just about everywhere, it won’t show dirt, and scratches can be conditioned/rubbed out (though I think they give it character and leave them). TNs are designed to scratch easily. The vegetable-tanned cowhide features a natural, uncorrected finish, and the leather's natural oils allow marks to blend, deepen in color, and develop a unique "patina" over time.

This cover arrived in a soft envelope, obviously having taken a beating in transit, but that's an Amazon thing and not a seller issue, but definitely check the item closely when you get it, just in case. Mine arrived in perfect condition. The Pros: this cover is amazing. It's really sturdy and has a stiff feel- not because the leather itself is stiff, but because with the addition of the pockets and the reinforced spine, most of the cover has 2-3 layers of leather. Have you ever had to worry about the elastic causing the leather to dimple or crease where it closes? Not with this traveler's journal- the extra layers reinforce the outside edges too, so the elastic closure doesn't leave any marks. The leather color is a dark, rich brown and feels so substantial that it basically feels like it can take any beating you give it. I love the pockets! I would have preferred just big pockets instead of card slots, but the storage available is ample. It's a very well made cover. The Cons: It's a stiff cover. If you want to be able to roll up your traveler's notebook, this one isn't for you. Also the extra layers of leather make it heavier than other traveler's in the same size, and that's even before you put inserts into it. The included pen loop is handy (and really every traveler's should have some kind of pen holder), but if you like to write with fountain pens, this one will only fit very slim models- anything thicker than a Preppy won't fit. The reason I'm returning mine is simply because it's cut pretty tight and small. I tend to have a variety of inserts from different places and like my covers to be cut a little more oversized to fit them all. This cover really best fits traditional traveler's inserts, so if you don't mind just sticking to those, then it's fine. If you tend to use other sizes that are close to insert size, then they might not fit. All in all this is a fabulous, rugged cover with great storage options and I would totally recommend it to anyone.

I ordered the A6 size cover, and in and of itself, it's great. The outer material is great, I love the not quite fine-grain not quite polished leather, albeit that may not be everyone's cup of tea. The inner-material is as expected, fine-grain texture semi-soft to the touch and so on. To start the critical stuff, I really wish the page contained a size guide or comparison images. I would've gotten a slightly smaller cover had it been easier to estimate real world scale. Additionally, post-purchase I've noticed the inner material tends to rub off with excess ease leaving a stain on certain items when the inner pockets are used (stuff that would have ribs or rippled textures mostly), which is a notable downside, but the damage to the cover itself at least can be fixed by just rubbing it and it blends back in fine to the extent I've had to so far. Additionally the inside material particles rubs off a majority of materials I've dealt with just fine. As far as usability, this is where the minus one star really comes in. I love the design, it's among the only affordable budget covers that I could find following an extensive search that fit my preferences and needs (Multiple pockets of different types, pen loops, and quad holding strings, with blank space left for external clips and the likes.) But the images shown on the store page lead me to believe that the pockets would be far more loose than they are. And that, the pockets being less versatile, is a pretty notable downside for me. It's not a dealbreaker though. All-in-all, for a first-timer with regards to notebook covers, I'm happy with what I got and it fulfills and adapts to my needs well. Just with a few hiccups that stem from some lack of clarity or real specifications. Buy a few butterly clips, and you'll be just fine. If you get one for yourself, don't hype it up in your head, these really are just what you make them in large part.

Bought this passport sized option as a travelers notebook for daily use. The leather is fairly stiff, but it feels durable. The inside slot options are nice and I an able to fit a fair amount of stuff in here, including a calendar, a few notebooks, a tracking card, and some other random cards. The spine is thick. Very thick. It's not like a traditional travelers notebook in my opinion, it's more of a small notebook with elastic cord for holding notepads. The leather is rigid, like I said. The color is nice. There are more supple options of handmade items available elsewhere, I have a few of those now, too. No issues with this at all - it's nice and was a good value, I just prefer a less rigid option with less of a spine-style construction. Pros: Good price Durable Holds a lot of stuff without feeling bulky Cons: Rigid leather, maybe it'll break in, but it's pretty stiff Spine is more of a book spine than a folding cover

TLDR; Recommended, if you are considering this, or on the fence - purchase it, you are unlikely to regret it! Pros: Price, features (Card/organizer slots, pen loop, reinforced spine) - oh, and because the closure loop comes out the spine, there is no 'hot spot' rubbing against my leg if I carry it in my pocket (my midori would rub a hole in my leg if I put it in with the back cover towards my leg.) Fits the Field Notes notebooks!!! Cons: Slightly too small pen loop, Stitching is almost certain to wear through and come apart, eventually, one-piece insert cord. Fairly thick/chunky - not gonna be your wallet if you are wearing suit pants! I have a passport size traveler's cover old enough to be stamped Midori on the back - so probably 10-12 years or so? I have only carried it with me regularly for a portion of that time, for several reasons. Changing needs for my wallet and it's capacity, etc. I dabble in (bad) hobby leather working, and part of me has always wanted to improve upon the basic Midori cover design (It is, after all, simply a piece of leather folded over with some holes punched through it for elastic cord.) It has never been enough of a priority, for me, however, to sit down and lay out all the pieces, and then cut and stitch the leather, etc. And knowing my skills and patience, the finished product *might* be usable, but would certainly not be pretty! So, I stumbled upon this on Amazon. Sat on it for a week or so, and finally broke down and bought one. I paid almost 20 dollars just to replace the silly clip-on pen holder for my traveler's (which I dug out of retirement as I wanted to start carrying a notebook again) - so for the price of a fairly essential accessory, you get an unexpectedly nice alternative with most, if not all, of the upgrades I had considered trying to make on my own. First: This is big enough to take Field Notes notebooks! YEAH! Yes you can stuff them into a Midori cover, but they stick out, get bent up and mangled and messy and gross and just yeah. Now, the holes are spaced for the passport size notebooks, and the top and bottom edges of the field notes book are EXACTLY even with the edges of the cover. Zero wiggle room. BUT, the band still holds it in nice and snug, and the critical part - the open long side (across from the spine) is more than deep enough to cover the edges of the FN. I wouldn't go much wider than that, but it fits nice. Second: This has FOUR interior elastic bands for holding inserts. No need to rubber-band hack your cover to add extra inserts (though that would still work here if you wanted to get crazy.) This is a net win, and I am pretty happy with it, though it does also encompass one of my few niggles: the spine is reinforced (on the outside of the cover) with an extra layer of leather. This stiffens and reinforces the spine (presumably the point!) but also makes it rather 'chunkier' than a regular midori cover. With the same contents, my midori was approximately half as thick as this cover, so more sleek in the pocket. Something to bear in mind if you have tight pants, or need the slimmest possible package - this won't be it. However, at least in standard fit slacks, I had no problem putting this in my front hip pocket, and it was only a little more bulky than some wallets I have carried. Minor nit two - One piece of elastic cord, wound through all the holes, to make the four attachment loops. If one of them breaks or frays, they all break. I would have preferred individual cords, though I can also understand why they made the design choice they did - one knot, inside the cover, easily adjusted to be 'out of the way' with a cleaner outside look and feel. Third: The pockets/card slots/ organizers/etc. : Here I think they exceeded even what I would have done. Not only is there a full height pocket on both the front and back covers, but a pair of card pockets on the inside of the front cover as well (or back, I suppose, if you prefer to use it that way). Adding a double layer of pockets to the cover without it being super thick and bulky is something I would have struggled with, or failed at - but this is done very nicely. The pockets/slots are all well sized, easy to slide cards/etc. in and out without struggling, but not so loose that they don't hold contents securely. It seems likely that they may stretch over time, and perhaps be less effective then, but the pockets hold my cards snugly enough that I actually doubt that will be a problem. Quality: Overall, and especially given the price, excellent. The leather used is attractive, dyed in a pleasant deep shade of brown, and has a nice look and feel to it, that suggests it will only improve as it ages and takes on 'patina'. The edges are not burnished (which is not a surprise at this price point. The fact that the Traveler's covers, at a much higher price point, are also not burnished is more surprising.) Also, the stitching is machine done, without being sunk into any kind of stitching groove. So, the stitching will eventually wear, and once any one of the stitches break, the rest will unravel fairly quickly afterwards. That can be repaired, when (not if) necessary, with some thread and needles and a few youtube videos about saddle stitching! Final feature: Built in pen loop! This is probably the thing that most held me up on making my own design - trying to figure out how to mount a pen loop out of the way and securely. They went with the simple, but functional expedient of sewing a loop of leather to the inside edge of the cover. This is another minor niggle for me - as I expected, the loop is a bit small for most fountain pens. If you tend to use a pencil or ballpoint, you will likely be fine (mechanical pencil, or a pencil with a clip like the Faber Castell Perfect Pencil, also recommended!) but fountain pens tend to be a bit fatter, and vary widely in diameter. So far, my vintage Skylines fit very nicely, but if you don't happen to have a collection of fountain pens from the 1940's, the ones I have tried so far are thus: Jinhao 100 - Pen body fits, cap does not Twsbi Diamond 580 - Body fits, cap does not Lamy Safari (and Al-Star, etc) - Body fits, cap does not (barely!) Noodler's Konrad - Body fits, cap does not Noodler's Ahab - Just no. Platinum Preppy - Yes Noodler's Charlie - Yes Jinhao Shark Pen - Yes (except the fin) $5 pen from Daiso - Yes vintage Parker 51 (and also most if not all of the clones, homages, inspired by's, etc.) - Yes Pilot MR (metropolitan) - Yes Pilot Varsity - Yes Cheap Chinese disposable fountain pens from Amazon (Varsity clones, they work nice, may hand them out instead of candy this year for Halloween!) - also Yes I made this list (and a long review even longer!) so the folks who like to carry an inexpensive fountain pen with their notebook have an idea what may or may not fit, but also to offer some tips if your pen does not fit. 1. You can add a new loop. Either sewn in, or a Midori style clip on (which also have a reputation of being a bit on the small/tight side, as well as their price) or some other add on pen loop you find on the internets or make. 2. You *may* be able to gently wet the leather pen loop (try to ONLY wet the pen loop, and not the rest of the cover, or it will likely water stain the leather) and gently stretch the leather with the pen that you want to carry. This may make the already fairly thin leather too thin and weak, and cause it to break/tear/cause Armageddon. Try at your own risk! 3. Carry a pen/pencil that does fit, and carry a separate pen sleeve (something you will have to do anyway if, like me, you like to have both a pen and pencil, or multiple pens, handy) 4. Flip the cover over. The pen loop is sewn closer to one of the small edges than it is the middle. So, depending on whether you put the the side with the penloop as your "front", or the side with the card slots in front, the loop will either be at the 'top' or the 'bottom' end. So several of the pens I listed above could have the bottom end of the barrel put into the loop, and the elastic cord around the middle will help hold it in place. This only really matters if you care about 'up' and 'down' i.e. don't want the pen upsidedown in your pocket. If you throw it in a purse or backpack, you can just stick the pen in whatever way fits and not worry about the orientation of your cover. There you go, massively too much information, but that is my analysis of the cover. I may look at picking up a couple of their A5 covers if they are as nice as this!

Very well made and sturdy! Holds a lot.

It is everything I hoped for! I use it as both wallet, calendar, diary and notebook.

I bought this leather traveller notebook cover as a gift for a friend, and he absolutely loved it. The leather is beautiful, with a high quality finish, and it feels durable and well made, I think it might last a lifetime. It looks even better in person and made a thoughtful, practical gift. I’m very happy with this purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
