Compact Elegant Aluminum Alloy Notebook Notepad with Ballpoint Pen - Black

Pros: -Very stylish, elegant semi-matte finish that surprisingly does not show fingerprints as much as I'd've thought -The pen that comes with the notebook and also holds it together actually works! Also very stylish. -The paper is not too thin and is smooth -Opens with a spring - no prying open required, can be opened with one hand, to take notes when on the phone, for example -Quite a lot of pages -Sturdy metal cover, can take a beating and no scratches so far!

Cons: -The paper does not tear out very well - the tear is horizontal and monstly straight but leaves behind anunattractive edge (not a problem if you don't care) -No other cons

Other: Maybe a bit pricey for a simple notepad, but then again, I've had this rolling around in my overstuffed bag with various other objects for a while now and it's fared a lot better than previous notebooks I've had. I'm a little bit pleased every time I flip it out to jot down something. It's durable, it's elegant. Buy it!

Pros: - Very cool looking and practical notepad. - Easy to use and carry around. - Very useful. - The aluminum casing seems strong and I don't think it will bent or screw up easily.

Cons: - The painting will scratch and rubs off easily. - The pen is not that great, but works. - There is no apparent way to replace the ink in the pen.

Other: Very useful, maybe a little too expensive for the quality. I think it worths the buy.
