BLUELINE3

I hope they never stop making these binders. I use them for everything. The ability to change the pages, index them, switch them up--amazing!! I can't recommend them high enough.

Have used these notebooks exclusively for at least 5 years. Pages can be removed and reinserted multiple times before becoming worn. One thing I would change? Two sheets of sticky / alphabetized tabs, versus only one sheet.

I'm one of those office-supply fanatics. And a little obsessed with efficiency and best practices, too. So when I say that, in my humble opinion, MiracleBind are the BEST NOTEBOOKS EVER, I'm not kidding around. I've tried all kinds of different notebooks and systems, but once I found MiracleBind, I never looked back. It's my Holy Grail notebook, and I've bought a bunch of them.The thing is, I only have to carry *one*. For *everything*. (I even write journal entries in there.) The rest are on a shelf at home, with labels like "Psychology" or "Design Ideas", "Quotes", "Medical", "Journal 2016", etc. You get the idea. Every once in a while, I zip the pages out of the everyday notebook and pop them into the appropriate category notebook (or my calendar), and, voila! I'm organized!Now, I can hear you thinking, you can rearrange pages in a 3-ring binder or a Circa/Arc disc-bound system, too, so what's so great about MiracleBind? Well, I'll tell you:1. They're THIN. Three-ring binders are bulky, and the discs in a Circa or Arc system are really wide, compared to the stack of paper they hold. MiracleBind notebooks are essentially a spiral-bound notebook with removable pages--so you can tuck one in almost anywhere. I use 9150s--the ones with 7.25" x 9.25" paper--and I usually carry mine with my tablet in a 8.5" x 10.5" neoprene pouch, although sometimes I just slip it into the back pocket of my purse.2. They have an actual HARDCOVER. You can write in your lap--or even standing up. Not only that, but the hardcover OPENS FLAT and stays that way. Even better, you can FOLD THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK, just like a spiral notebook, so even when you're writing in the middle of the book, the whole thing is only as wide as the one page. That makes holding it in your lap or your hand even easier.3. They come with a clear vinyl MULTI-POCKET inside. It has large pockets on front and back (the 9150 is perfect for 8.5" x 11" sheets folded in half) as well as smaller pockets on the front for receipts and business cards. You can even add more pockets to your notebook, either by moving them from another notebook or buying them separately.4. There are LOTS OF REFILL OPTIONS: lined, grid, blank, contact pages, and even calendar/planner pages. So you really could carry everything in just one notebook.5. But if you get the special MiracleBind punch, you can also PUNCH YOUR OWN PAGES. Add reference handouts to your notes section, printed schedules to your calendar/planner section, class phone lists to your contacts section, etc. Or, design and punch your own specialty pages. (I even turned one of my notebooks into a watercolor sketchbook by filling it with watercolor paper I'd cut to 7.25" x 9.25" and punched along the edge. It's easier to carry than a regular sketchbook, it has the hard back but is still really light, so you can hold it in one hand while painting with the other, it stays flat when you open it--or you can flip the cover all the way back and out of the way, *and* you can remove or rearrange the pages any way you want. You can even slip a dry palette into the vinyl pocket. There isn't a sketchbook on the market that even comes close!)Getting back to normal notebook usage, though, I will say this: In general, you'll want to use a regular ballpoint or one of those "Sharpie Pens" (not a permanent Sharpie), as the inserts they provide are regular notebook paper. (Then again, if you punch your own, you can add whatever paper you'd like.)Oh, and by the way, the notebooks also come with a sheet of labels and colored index tabs, as well as a color-coded index page in the front, so you can divide the book up however you'd like and easily flip to the page you're looking for. (Now that I'm thinking about it, I bet it would make a great Bullet Journal...) And the ones with contact pages also come with a set of alpha index tabs.As you can see, these things are endlessly flexible and customizable. Which is why I will say again, BEST NOTEBOOKS EVER!

Im just starting my chemo journey. This binder is very light weight and easy to take with me for notes.

I am so glad I found this "book" The page removal is a great way to keep new notes with a new job. No wasted pages trying to guess the blanks pages between task.

i really like the idea of this notebook but the paper comes out too easily and is then so folds easily. aside from these aspects, i like it. still struggling to decide whether i will buy another one.

Love it. This is my first one in this color. I use this to take notes from videos I watch on youtube. Mostly Tony Robbins sessions, then I copy them and give them to the girls at work. Perfect size to carry to meetings. I have used these for years. I have not had any problems folding the cover back, I am just careful of the pages.

completely uselessThe pages do not stay in!

I really liked the concept of being able to add and remove pages as needed however I was not that impressed with the quality of the pages. They seem very flimsy and I doubt they would take a lot of daily use. I like the hard cover, the colour is nice, the vinyl pocket insert is great and the tabs would be handy. I just think the pages staying in will be a problem over time. I decided to return this item but then I found out I have to pay $8.63 Canadian to ship it back. The shipping costs are more than my refund would be so I guess I’m stuck with it.

I love the snakeskin pattern on these notebooks and the idea that you can move pages around. Unfortunately, the execution is not the best because I have noticed the pages have started to rip where they lock into the bindings. I think they have tried to make that part more durable with some kind of coating but I don't think it's enough. I will just stick to the normal ones after this.

I love Blueline products but this is the first time trying out one with MiracleBind. I like the concept but the blue part of the margin is not sturdy enough and tears against the binding rings while writing. So all of my page notes are falling out of the notebook. I have had to purchase reinforcer stickers to try to keep my pages in order. Do not like. Would not recommend. Will not buy again.

I was already familiar with the Miraclebind technology and it was the reason I wanted this notebook. I use the Miraclebind line at work and fell in love with how easy to use: you can move the pages around to keep one subject together, add pages, etc. We also have the hole punch to add anything you need to your notebook. The colour is really pretty, but then I'd already seen it, since some colleagues had it (I have the black and the purple at work).I haven't had any problem whatsoever with pages coming off, but the technology requires the holes to be open on one side, in order to grip the wire binding. If you use a lot of markers (sharpies, for example), you will see it on the back of the page, so for some, it might be a deal breaker. As I usually use the frixion pen, I don't have this issue.

This book is fantastic. I love how you can move the pages around. I picked refills for 2018 calendar and addresses, took out a few of the lined pages and then added these refills to this book. Meets my needs perfectly. While I have everything electronic, I do a lot of travel or meetings and it's nice to have an organized notebook to use.It's a hardcover and you can fold it back. This size is perfect for taking notes or on your desk. Fits easily in a purse or in a leather portfolio. It's about the same size as a regular iPad. Don't hesitate to buy this and customize it with refills.
