Won't hold your 8 1/2 x 11 papers, August 26, 2009
This review is from: Saunders WorkMate II Poly Clipboard, 0.5-Inch Capacity, 6 Compartments, 8.5 x 12 Inches, Black/Charcoal (00552) (Office Product)
This product would have been great, but it won't hold my papers that are 8 1/2 x11. That is the main reason I purchased this. I am in nursing school and was looking for a storage clipboard that would hold some of my papers in it, and this does not hold papers the size I needed it to.

Nice design for an artist, wish it were just a few mm wider., June 24, 2010
This review is from: Saunders WorkMate II Poly Clipboard, 0.5-Inch Capacity, 6 Compartments, 8.5 x 12 Inches, Black/Charcoal (00552) (Office Product)
I just purchased this clipboard/storage combo for storage and quick access to my drawing supplies, and I am moderately happy with my purchase. I found it holds quite a few colored pencils in the (unfortunately) only pen/pencil storage compartment (I have 19 in there, and I use DerWent pencils). The remaining ones provide ample space for my erasers, leads, tortillons/blending stubs and such.
My biggest gripe is that it is not designed to hold 8.5x11" paper in the paper storage slot. The label indicated that it was meant to accomodate A4 paper. I find that the paper I put in there is getting the side a little smashed, which an extra 2-3mm clearance would have avioded altogether. I would not have purchased this if the description had indicated taht it was not designed for 8.5x11" paper. Despite this, I have found a couple manila folders in the front cover I need. Beyond that, it is reasonably sturdy, holds my supplies well and provides a good surface for writing and drawing. I do recommend this, with the caveat that you should expect to add at least a folder for standard letter-size paper.

Good clipboard, August 18, 2009
This is a good clipborad. It holds a pad very well. I have some trouble with the interior portion. The folder inside does not quite hold a full pieced of paper without the edges catching in the closure. The tray is covered by the folder and that doesn't close over the tray. So when I open the compartment everything falls out. I have just gone without using the folder or tray it still hold a good amount of papers but not as I planned. The clip on the outside is very tight, I actually snapped it on my finger ouch.
