I wanted to love this so much unfortunately it fell short. It's great because it's metal, has a pen attached, can be put in purses or bags without damage and easily taken out to jot down notes. The big issue with this pocket size aluminum memo pad is the paper it's thin and blank. I wish they paper was better quality and there was an option to replace the blank pad with a ruled one. The other thing I would change is the pen it's a ballpoint I would love an option of a gel pen. It's a very convenient memo pad just could be better.
