The Moleskine Memo Pocket, May 17, 2010
This review is from: Memo Pockets A4 (Moleskine Srl) (Hardcover)
I am a bit of a moleskine fanatic, using the day planner and personal diary, as well as the cahiers, and pocket sized items as well. When I saw this, I was excited to get it and try it out. As with all Moleskine products, the covers are very sturdy, and the customary wrap is there. The pocket itself is where I was surprised. There are several dividers, where I expected none. If you are using the pocket to carry several memoranda, it is great. The expandability is minimal, as the folder covers are pretty well fixed.

Pretty good for the money, but a few flaws, October 4, 2011
This review is from: Memo Pockets A4 (Moleskine Srl) (Hardcover)
I bought this notebook to replace a 99 cent pocket folder because I wanted something more substantial and professional. I like the expandability and the separate compartments to keep papers sorted. I also like the clean, minimal design, consistent with Moleskine's other products.
Here's what could be better:
I would prefer magnets over the elastic band closure. For something this size, I doubt the thin elastic is going to hold up.
I wish they made an American version. The A4 is 3/4 inch too long, barely fits in my laptop case, and I predict that the tight fit will cause the corners of the folio to get beat up.
The hinges at the spine could be more flexible. It's awkward that the cover only opens 180 degrees and doesn't fold back completely.
On the one hand the folio is appealing because it's substantial and constructed from good materials. On the other hand, it's a bit heavy.
I would buy it again, but I will keep hunting for the perfect pocket folio.
Two weeks later:
I like this folio better now. The elastic is probably fine and stretches as the folders expand. Also, the cover has loosened up and opens a full 360 degrees, making it possible to fold the cover over while filing papers. I still wish it was sized specifically for 8 1/2 x 11 paper, though.

Perfect for organizing, June 9, 2011
This review is from: Memo Pockets A4 (Moleskine Srl) (Hardcover)
The quality is amazing, very sturdy and has a lovely contemporary feel to it. Pockets are made out of cardboard, yet very good quality. This inside cover has lines to write down your personal info just incase you misplace it.
I personally used this to organize my pregnancy.
