Vitruvian Robot Padfolio

Overall this looks professional and can be a statement piece for a job hunter. Functionally it could use some minor tweaks - things I wish I had known about before buying. For starters the padfolio is very soft and thus the only support for a writing surface is a thin cardboard in the back and the backing of the writing pad which is also very thin. I fixed this by sliding a laminated child's hardcover book cover behind the writing pad so it has a rigid surface allowing me to write on the pad while holding it in my arms. Next, be aware that the pen slot will need a slim pen or pencil to close. I ordered a pen with no grip to coordinate from zazzle and while it fits in the slot, the folio cannot close flush. On the pocket side, the largest pocket will not fit standard 8x11 papers as it is not wide enough. The writing pad cannot be moved to this side either. Pad is top entry only. For pocket reference I tried to photo index cards of both sizes, a post it note, and business card. The top stitched diamond where I put some paper clips I really have no idea as to function. If you keep contents of pockets to just the bare minimum like important notes the folio will close flat. Design printed slightly darker than I had thought but it actually gave a nice shadow effect. The folio has an area separate from the design that is reserved for where you would normally pickup, grasp, and carry around the folio. A nice grip area. Printing was darker than original image giving it a shadow effect. No white highlights as seen on original photo are on finished product but overall it still looks very good. Next time I would lighten photo as it may be when it is printed on this material that causes the darkness.

I would highly recommend to a solopreneurs who are looking for marketing piece that brand your business and stands out in business meetings with your clients. I will definitely leave a great FIRST impression that you are reputable. The netting used for the business card holder inside is the only thing that was not up to my standard, so I gave the product a 4 rating. Adding my custom logo to this business padfolio exceeded by expectation. The colors were exact with no bleeding in text. A very professional product.

This mini padfolio is well made. The customized artwork is clear and vivid. This is a fathers day gift for my husband who likes to keep a note pad in his car to write reminders for himself. With no way to attach the pen to the pad, the pen usually ends up on the floor of the car. This mini pad has a pen holder and on the inside, there are 2 credit-card-size slots. The best part is the reusability. The note pad can be replaced, and the folio can be enjoyed for a long time. As described above, the design I chose is clear and vivid. It's not distorted, fuzzy or pixilated.
