Kokuyo Campus Smart Ring Binder, Up to 25 Sheets, B5, 26 Holes (Clear, Light Blue, Light Pink & 100 Sheets Paper Set)

What a great little binder. The push-button opening on the rings is very clever and easy to operate. (Illustrated instructions on the back.) Forget the lethal metallic spring action and nipped fingers of the average British ring binder. It's a nice slim alternative to large-size rings – you could stash several in your bag – but it still manages to hold a lot of sheets. The paper is typically excellent Japanese quality, too, fountain pen friendly, and although this review isn't about the paper, you do get a few sheets included with it.This B5 format is for 26-hole paper, which is widely available in Japan but not in the UK, so you'll need to buy it (also available on Amazon) or invest in a Carl 26-hole punch to make your own. It's worth it because the extra holes means paper stays put. (And you can insert mini note sheets like the ones Maruman makes.)For just over a fiver and free shipping, this file is astonishing value. Time will tell if it stands up to rough handling, but my other Kokuyo products have proved to be pretty robust, so I expect this to be of the same build quality. Like most Japanese stationery, it's thoughtfully designed and a joy to use. The service was good too.

This binder is just the right size. I had heard that b5 was a better size than a5 and a4 for the writing experience and it is. Bigger than a5, so you can get more words per page, but not as daunting as a4. I use this item to hold my current writing, as it only holds 25 sheets of paper, then transfer it to a bigger folder when i have completed it. At first I thought it was a bit expensive but the design is well thought out and the binding spine is lovely to use, so it's well worth the cost. It is sturdy enough to transport in my work bag and I have had no problems with it.

This is not an A4 notepad so it won’t hold A4 paper beware. But other than that the notepad is great, nice and slim just like advertised. I doesn’t come with a lot of paper so you’ll probably need to buy some loose paper.

This is NOT A4, it's slightly smaller, which scratches my brain just right.Bought this as it was recommended to me.it's like a folder where you can open it up and swap the layout of pages which is lovely, and very helpful!Ink doesn't run through pages easily! I had to go over permanent marker three times for it to bleed through to the next page.The file itself is very thin, so it fits nicely in bags.Like some questions have noticed you only get a few pages in it, you can also buy more pages separately. Which is cheeky but honestly with it.

The media could not be loaded. The quality is amazing and the price is so good too considering it’s for 3 binders and a stack of paper; if you buy just the notebook u gotta buy like stacks of loose kokuyo paper it’s on Amazon too overall it’s perfect for school especially for GCSEs or six form

I definitely recommend these! They are small but big enough to write useful notes in and are easy to use once you get used to how they work. The only thing I dislike about these binders is that they don't seem to be very sturdy and am quite worried I may break them. Overall, definitely recommend and worth the money!

Lovely product but the packaging was minimal - just a thin plastic bag. The bag had split open and product damaged. Only one of the folders was intact. One of plastic spines was broken (snapped) and the purple cover had been deformed. Will try to order a new set because they are great but really needs better packaging.
