I know it's weird to be reviewing some highlighters, but here I go. These highlighters are among my most used items I own. The quality of the highlighter is excellent, neither too dark or too light. It is generally not visible through pages unless you let the pen sit for a long time on the page. It goes on smoothly. But I would not write a review of a highlighter if all it was was a good highlighter. What these things have going for them is that they have the Post-It tabs built in (and refills come with). So as you highlight and take notes, you can easily flag that page for followup later on.

When I read, I highlight on and write all over my pages and oftentimes I think, "When I finish reading, I want to write about what I just read," or, "I want to copy down that quote." Now I can easily flag that page and come back to it when I'm done. No more dog-eared pages.

I work as a Realtor as well and I often go out into the field with a client with a binder filled with 200+ listings. As we sit down, we highlight important information and note what properties we want to go see. So rather than flipping through the binder to find the properties we marked or rather than taking the pages out of the binder, we can simply flag them. That way, the binder stays intact and organized.

It's odd but true, One of my most useful and efficiency-promoting pieces of property is so simple and so inexpensive.

I love this idea. It's so practical and confortable to use. I take it everywhere in my pocket. Since it is a 2in1 product you highlight and flag pages easily and in a fashionable way. People always ask me togive them one.

I had purchased the Post It Flag Highlighter after seeing it featured on an Oprah. Instantly, it was a favorite, not only for reading, but also for bill paying and going through my cookbooks. After a month of normal use, the highlighter portion dried out though, long before I ran out of flags. I emailed 3M on their website, not specifically asking for anything, just telling them that I was disappointed that the highlighter had expired so quickly. They immediately replied and sent me a free replacement, asking that I return the defective highlighter using their pre-paid postage so that they could look the highlighter over in their lab. I was really impressed, not only with the ingenuity of the product, but also with 3M's customer service and their desire to improve their product.

If you edit documents, or read or study texts and need to highlight passages, the need for this pen will be obvious. Before I bought this, I had plenty of little post-its, but they would either get lost in the desk drawer, or worse, lost on the top of the desk while I was reading. I could never find the darn things. Now I always know where they are.

I also use this pen to browse catalogs. It really cuts down on the clutter of catalogs I've looked through, but can't quite throw away because I can't remember whether I wanted to order something...

This little highlighter, the Post-it Flag Highlighter, is the neatest little accessory for any book. The little flags are out of the this world. I usually buy them separately, but when I purchased Eckert Tolle's A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose (Oprah's Book Club, Selection 61), I went ahead and got these inexpensive helpers and I love 'em. You get three to a pack, so go ahead and use them as a bookmark, too! Drawback? might bleed through the page a little.

I bought this 3pack at my university bookstore and they have been invaluable for my classwork. I can easily highlight specific passages and flag sections to find later, without having a bunch of little things like flag dispensers to keep track of. Having multiple colors of pen/flag allows me to code my markings, making it that much easier to find sections that support a specific topic/project.

Unfortunately, it appears that 3M only offers 3/8" refill flags in Yellow, in spite of the fact that the package on this multi-colored pack indicates refills are available at the 3M website. What a crock. I might buy some of their normal 1/2" flags and try cutting them down to size, but my strongest inclination is to refuse to support 3M by purchasing any more of their products.

The pens are wonderful. I have been using them while reading "A New Earth" it is so helpful to go so certain passages. I normally use the flags when the entire page is profound. I love the pens and don't know how I ever made it without them.

first time I ever bought this type of device. Very convenient for marking up and posting a book. I usually don't mark in books, so it was hard for me to do it, but this makes it very easy.

The product is compact and handy, reading and studying is easier with this tool, colors are vivid.

By far, this is the best product by far that 3M has come up with. I think that if they could come up with the refills along with this product, it would be awesome!
