NEO SMARTPEN N Hardcover Professional Notebook with Ruled-Plain Pages

WOW! It was this book that tipped me over the edge to get the whole smart pen package. This notebook has to work in tandem with the N2 smart pen. After I decided that I was going to get one, I had to decide what to write in. Most of the other options were spiral bound notebooks or the staple bound ones. I have come to hate spiral bound notebooks. The wire always gets messed up or caught up and ultimately squished. And the staple bound ones, always fall apart. I'm fairly rugged with my journaling. It would have been a deal breaker for me until until I saw this one. Pros: It is half and half (lined and blank pages), Some may hate this, but that's fine with me. The exterior of the book is made of a faux leather/ moleskin type of material and it makes things look and feel that much better. There is an exterior attached strap to help keep the book closed. Seems quite durable, but I'll see after a few months.... Also, the BEST surprise is a "pocket" glued onto the inner back portion of the book! It's supposed to be where you put your business cards? But, I put the extra refills for the pen there and just some miscellaneous papers that generally carry. Cons: Only one, but I didn't take a star off because the pros vastly outweigh the one con That I have. The con is a slight redesign. Make the back of the book slightly larger than the actual bound of the book so that there could be a slight space between the back of the book and the bound of the book. The reason... a place to put the pen! Other than that, I'm not putting down the prices as a con because for under $20 for over 400 'faces' of pages to write on and it not just any type of paper either, it's actual paper technology synced with the smart pen... for $20, it's worth it. If you are getting the Smart pen, and you want something more that the regular problems that I've had with spiral bound notebooks, get thins one! ***Addendum: 4/16/17- I had my journal with me, but I had forgotten my pen... I hope that doesn't happen a lot! At any rate, I had a pencil and the only thing that I had to write in was my journal. So, what I did was write down a few notes and drew out a few images in pencil. I did VERY light erasing. My thought was that I would go home and trace over my pencil writings and drawings Well... sad to say... Where I erased... Caused holes in the digital reading of the page and I have "Black Holes" on the page in The Neo Notes APP. When I went to trace over with my pen, it did very well over the areas that I didn't erase, but the places that I did... The pen couldn't recognize the area where I had erased and there was no recognition in the app. So, warning: DO NOT USE AN ERASER IN THIS BOOK!!!!

Loved the quality of the notebook.

I purchased the Moleskine Pen by Neo, it will work with this journal, but requires the Neo App. My opinion, save the money, skip Moleskine and go straight with Neo. I cut my losses on the Moleskine tablet and switched to all Neo products for the paper so that I don't have to switch apps (thus also switching the pen's pairing). Buying the pen from Neo is cheaper anyway.

Well designed. Compact, though large enough to write comfortably. That half of the notebook is ruled and the other half is not is frustrating. Neo should consider offering "all ruled" or "all blank" options (other reviewers suggest a grid option too). Also, one can't use more than one of these at the same time unless one uses the archiving feature in the app. I would give this notebook three stars, but it is nicely constructed.

The Neosmart pen and notebooks are awesome. I use the daily planner and these notebooks. My coworkers think I have a super human memory because I always have my notes on my phone!

Simplemente excelente

Looks great. Well made. It's a little bigger than a moleskine. Wish they had a gridded version.

As advertised, the cover is like swollowing up a little. Expensive.

copertina rigida e di buona qualità, molto resistente, penna, taccuino e app funzionano perfettamente. il mix tra pagine a righe e pagine bianche è perfetta per separare appunti e progetti, la tasca sul retro della copertina molto utile. l'elastico diagonale permette di agganciare la penna ed avere tutto a portata di mano.

Reconoce el boli perfectamente y transcribe al movil todo bien
