Excellent TINY pen!
Wow, I love this very tiny pen. I would say it's more MICRO and probably smaller than any writing utensils you've ever seen because it's also a very thin pen. It feels durable in the hand though and writes great! I have it stashed in my slimfold nano wallet, and it pairs so well with the minimalist theme I have going on in my pocket. I barely notice the difference in my wallet with it in there. This is such a practical and convenient little item to carry around, and I've already had to pull it out to use on the go. It's a great purchase that looks great, and writes great!

Fits in my wallet!
I have been trying to solve the "always have a pen on me" problem for some time.Finally this pen solves it! It is so slim and short I could store it in the fold of my bi-fold wallet. The "business card holder" that comes with it is even better, holding it in an orientation that is unlikely to accidentally open. The price is also reasonable (unlike the Bellroy pen I was thinking about buying).It's not the best writing experience, but it works, is reasonably priced, is solidly built, and fits! I call it a win.(last problems I solved were the "always have a bottle opener" and "always have a screwdriver that fits my glasses" problems. Look for the Victorinox "rambler" to attach to your keychain to solve both!)At this point my pockets are covering all of the problems I can think of in a pinch (pocket knife, scissors (which work as nail-clippers/hair trimmers), screwdrivers (flat and phillips), nail file, tooth pick, tweezers (all of these in the Vicrorinox rambler), billfold/cards, concealed pistol (Ruger LCR 357), flashlight (Photon Micro with switch), lighter (Zippo), everything a cellphone does (camera, second flashlight, maps, etc.), and a dedicated pocketknife (Benchmade Bugout in 20CV, which is a fantastic steel by the way... though I have been thinking about the "bailout" 537Gy1 which has a glass-breaker built-in. So cool and covers an unlikely need to get out of a car in a hurry).With this kit I feel both very prepared and not weighed-down. We truly live in amazing times!(Comments solving issues I haven't thought of appreciated! What did you solve and how?)

No excuse for not having a pen with you.
There are other tiny pens that will fit in a wallet, although perhaps not quite this tiny. The genius feature of the Minimo is having it fit into that credit card holder. This keeps it in one position where you can find it easily, and where it won't fall out when you open your wallet. The card might be a little large for some credit card slots, but fits snugly in the back slot of my wallet.As for writing quality, as ballpoints go, it's quite good, and you can get refills. Rather a fine point, and writes smoothly. I did have it seize up on me once, and had to get it going again with some back and forth scribbling. I have medium sized hands for a man, and this is so tiny that I almost feel as if I'm going to bend it by holding it. But it actually seems sturdy enough. Just don't abuse it.People who always have pens can get annoyed at people who never have them, and always want to borrow one. With something like this available, your last excuse for not having a pen on you just went away. Of course, the more you want to write, the more you'll want a normal sized pen. But this is fine for jotting down quick notes.

It's a tiny pen!
I have used my pen for about a week when situations came up that I did not feel like looking for another pen, or did not have another one available.The pen is basically the width of a ball point insert, so no wasted space, and shorter than a normal pen. It came with a small plastic card with a loop at the top that could be put in your card like a credit card might, and hold the pen in your wallet, but I've been using mine in a small pouch of everyday useful things and it's convenient to have around.I felt the challenge that this pen would need to balance was accomplishing the 1 thing chose this pen for (being tiny!) without being TOO MUCH of the thing I chose it for (TOO tiny to really be usable, or very flimsy feeling).I feel it's just the right size, and the writing I do is a little worse but not by much compared to a full sized pen. the Pen writes smoothly, even on Rite in the Rain paper which can be a little harder to right on for some pens, even other ballpoints.I've only used it for a week, but so far so good. :)

PERFECT GIFT!
Got this pen for my grown son. He loved it. He's a collection and gadget guy.It's the neatest thing. I'm ordering refills for it.It's really not too hard to hold. It's for jotting and signing... not writing papers or manuscripts... be fair. It's a great conversation starter... say nothing... just use it... someone will start talking to you.I live on little means - di$ability - and I looked and looked for a nice gift that I could afford and saw this pen... it's so affordable that I got one for myself, too.It's durable for It's purpose but I can guarantee you'll be looking for excuses and ways to use it... I sure am!! It's so CUTE AND USEFUL! I keep mine on a necklace. Not heavy, not banging on things when I bend. It's fine but strong for its tiny mighty size (BARELY over 3 inches).Get yourself one... get one for someone else, too!

The head fell off.
I've only used it once. It's incredibly tiny and perfect for a wallet but a few weeks and the head has fell off. There's no customer service, warranty or spare parts to speak of, according to their website. The price is also high for just 1 pen.
