newestor Travelers Notebook Cover with Inner Pockets, Card Slots and Pen Holder, A5 Size, Dark Brown

Perfect travelers notebook/notebook cover if you have a lot of stuff. Beautiful, thick, quality leather. It is stiff, but will likely soften with use. Very versatile. Pockets are great, and elastics are nice and thick for durability. I've always liked the modular functionality of traveler's notebooks, but I prefer spiral notebooks for some things. I have been using a KOKUYO Systemic notebook cover as a daily carry for my two spiral notebooks and traditional TN inserts, all A5 size. The KOKUYO setup has worked perfectly for a few years, and I love the organization, but the fabric cover is starting to get a little worn. I was on the hunt for a leather cover that I could simply put my entire KOKUYO binder into to give it a bit of an upgrade. With that idea in mind, I looked at leather bible covers to accommodate the thickness of my full setup. I then came across this one and purchased the A5 size, even though I was worried it might be too small. The size is perfect! It has plenty of room for two A5 spiral notebooks. I also currently have two smaller TN inserts in the elastics, but could easily add two more. Photos show this notebook set up both ways. One way is as the standalone travelers notebook as it's intended to be, and the other way is covering the full KOKUYO. This is a nice, sturdy, quality piece that will last for years. For the price point, I'm glad I took a chance on it. And I wanted to share my review to let people know that this cover can also accommodate spiral notebooks.

I am very pleased with the newestor Travelers Notebook Cover (A5 size) with inner pockets, card slots, and pen holder. Shipping was prompt, and the cover arrived securely packaged and in excellent condition. The protective wrapping helped preserve the material and ensured it was ready for immediate use. In terms of product quality, the notebook cover feels sturdy and thoughtfully constructed. The material has a pleasant texture that balances durability with a refined look. The stitching appears solid, and I have confidence the cover will hold up well to regular handling. The A5 size fits standard journals and planners comfortably, with no awkward overhang or strain on the edges. The internal organization is a standout feature. Multiple pockets and card slots provide plenty of room for IDs, business cards, notes, and receipts, which helps keep essentials neatly accessible. The integrated pen holder is a convenient addition, ensuring I never have to search for a writing instrument when I need one. The layout feels intuitive and enhances the overall functionality of the notebook cover without adding unnecessary bulk. From a value perspective, this travelers notebook cover offers excellent utility for the price. It elevates a basic notebook into a more organized, travel-ready tool for daily planning, journaling, or professional use. Overall, this is a high-quality, practical accessory that combines style and functionality, and I would confidently recommend it.

This cover arrived in a soft envelope, obviously having taken a beating in transit, but that's an Amazon thing and not a seller issue, but definitely check the item closely when you get it, just in case. Mine arrived in perfect condition. The Pros: this cover is amazing. It's really sturdy and has a stiff feel- not because the leather itself is stiff, but because with the addition of the pockets and the reinforced spine, most of the cover has 2-3 layers of leather. Have you ever had to worry about the elastic causing the leather to dimple or crease where it closes? Not with this traveler's journal- the extra layers reinforce the outside edges too, so the elastic closure doesn't leave any marks. The leather color is a dark, rich brown and feels so substantial that it basically feels like it can take any beating you give it. I love the pockets! I would have preferred just big pockets instead of card slots, but the storage available is ample. It's a very well made cover. The Cons: It's a stiff cover. If you want to be able to roll up your traveler's notebook, this one isn't for you. Also the extra layers of leather make it heavier than other traveler's in the same size, and that's even before you put inserts into it. The included pen loop is handy (and really every traveler's should have some kind of pen holder), but if you like to write with fountain pens, this one will only fit very slim models- anything thicker than a Preppy won't fit. The reason I'm returning mine is simply because it's cut pretty tight and small. I tend to have a variety of inserts from different places and like my covers to be cut a little more oversized to fit them all. This cover really best fits traditional traveler's inserts, so if you don't mind just sticking to those, then it's fine. If you tend to use other sizes that are close to insert size, then they might not fit. All in all this is a fabulous, rugged cover with great storage options and I would totally recommend it to anyone.

I've gotten used to things that I shop for here *hopefully* meeting expectations, but certainly never exceeding them. So, when my A5 notebook cover was unboxed, I had to say, "WOW!" It's genuine leather with quality workmanship that looks like it's going to last. Beautiful, too! I really appreciate the elastic closure to hold things together. Exceptional value, and I can't wait to carry it everywhere. 😄

I needed to replace my other journal cover that was three times the price of this one. My expectations were not high. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this one for the price point! I wasn’t planning on liking this as much as I do. It’s well constructed and has a classic journal feeling to it. The extra pockets inside are a big plus and the pen loop is much appreciated. I was able to add 5 Apica A5 fountain pen notebooks into it and it fits them like a glove. This was to be a temporary solution until I could afford to get another expensive one, but to be honest, this one is so nice I don’t see any need to buy a more expensive one. The leather is thick and a bit stiffer than my other cover, but I don’t really mind it and I know it will soften over time. Overall this is a fantastic value and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

I ordered the A6 size cover, and in and of itself, it's great. The outer material is great, I love the not quite fine-grain not quite polished leather, albeit that may not be everyone's cup of tea. The inner-material is as expected, fine-grain texture semi-soft to the touch and so on. To start the critical stuff, I really wish the page contained a size guide or comparison images. I would've gotten a slightly smaller cover had it been easier to estimate real world scale. Additionally, post-purchase I've noticed the inner material tends to rub off with excess ease leaving a stain on certain items when the inner pockets are used (stuff that would have ribs or rippled textures mostly), which is a notable downside, but the damage to the cover itself at least can be fixed by just rubbing it and it blends back in fine to the extent I've had to so far. Additionally the inside material particles rubs off a majority of materials I've dealt with just fine. As far as usability, this is where the minus one star really comes in. I love the design, it's among the only affordable budget covers that I could find following an extensive search that fit my preferences and needs (Multiple pockets of different types, pen loops, and quad holding strings, with blank space left for external clips and the likes.) But the images shown on the store page lead me to believe that the pockets would be far more loose than they are. And that, the pockets being less versatile, is a pretty notable downside for me. It's not a dealbreaker though. All-in-all, for a first-timer with regards to notebook covers, I'm happy with what I got and it fulfills and adapts to my needs well. Just with a few hiccups that stem from some lack of clarity or real specifications. Buy a few butterly clips, and you'll be just fine. If you get one for yourself, don't hype it up in your head, these really are just what you make them in large part.

Bought this passport sized option as a travelers notebook for daily use. The leather is fairly stiff, but it feels durable. The inside slot options are nice and I an able to fit a fair amount of stuff in here, including a calendar, a few notebooks, a tracking card, and some other random cards. The spine is thick. Very thick. It's not like a traditional travelers notebook in my opinion, it's more of a small notebook with elastic cord for holding notepads. The leather is rigid, like I said. The color is nice. There are more supple options of handmade items available elsewhere, I have a few of those now, too. No issues with this at all - it's nice and was a good value, I just prefer a less rigid option with less of a spine-style construction. Pros: Good price Durable Holds a lot of stuff without feeling bulky Cons: Rigid leather, maybe it'll break in, but it's pretty stiff Spine is more of a book spine than a folding cover

This leather cover is beautifully made. It has a nice weight to it and feels sturdy in your hands. Smells of leather and is packaged well. It was delivered a week earlier than the expected delivery date, which was a pleasant surprise. It has 4 straps for notebooks/inserts. It has a back pocket which you could put another notebook/insert in, as well as one in the front (you could add another notebook/insert) and 3 smaller pockets to put whatever you need, stickers, ephemera, receipts etc. I have a stalogy 365 B6 in the back strap with a jelly cover, a B6 Life Noble Note book with 100 sheets in the middle strap with a jelly cover (almost the same thickness as the stalogy) and a Life Vermilion B6 note book with 32 sheets in the front strap (still have an extra strap). All 3 fit nicely. It has a pen loop and overall this exceeded my expectations. The only thing I’m a little bummed out about is, it has this lighter colored stripe going horizontally across the lower portion of the front and back cover and the same stripe going vertically on the inside cover. I know over time this will naturally “patina” and accumulate scratches and get worn in, which is what we all want, right?! 😅 So I’m not too upset about it but it does draw your eye right to that stripe, hard not to notice. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this leather cover and I have! I’ve told some friends about it because I can’t believe the quality and how satisfying this feels in my hand. I look forward to work in it and breaking it in.

This is the third Newestor / September Leather traveller's journal which I've purchased. The quality of all their products that I've owned is excellent, and the packaging is great too - plus you can use the sleeve and carton to store spare notebooks. This time I purchased the A5 size so I have more room to write comfortably. The leather is very good quality and feels great to the touch. Its thick and the stitching is excellent. There is plenty of room inside too. The card holders and inner sleeves are a very useful addition. With four 50 sheet notebooks inside it doesn't feel cramped and has room for more if I really wanted. I also own their plain passport size and standard travellers journals. I've had those for some time, and they have aged very nicely. I have compared to other brands including the OG Midori, and the quality and finish of this brand is more durable and much better value. I highly recommend Newestor / September Leather.

Chegou antes do prazo. Acabamento perfeito e muito lindo. Serviu perfeitamente para minhas necessidades.

La calidad de la piel, de las costuras, de los elásticos es fantástica. Tienen razón otros compradores que han comentado que a pesar de ser presuntamente tamaño "pasaporte" es un poco más alto con lo que se pueden poner insertos y cuadernos de tamaño pocket (9x14) como Field Notes o Moleskine. En el mío he puesto un Moleskine Weekly, un Field Notes y un Moleskine Daily. Queda ajustado y precioso. Muy recomendable.

It is everything I hoped for! I use it as both wallet, calendar, diary and notebook.

La opción de usarse con las gomas como un traveler normal o como funda de cubiertas de cuaderno A5 es estupenda, le da versatilidad. La piel es de calidad, y el grosor de la funda hace que permita almacenar dentro diferentes cuadernos. Muy contenta con la compra, su precio era muy competitivo si consideramos el precio que tienen los cuadernos originales en los que se inspira, que además ni ofrecen tamaño A5.
