On to all of the things I looked into using but decided to not go forward with, and why.

• Penco A5 Clipboard: just clipping things inside my Hobonichi or another A5 notebook would do more or less the same thing for me.
• Postalco Snap: this top bound binder was interesting, but not being able to properly turn the pages made it a no-go
• Everbook: I liked the idea of this, and the idea is great but not a good fit for what I want for this.
• Looked at a bunch of binders on JetPens and friends, but didn’t like any of them
• Levenger Circa: really dislike their design. Otherwise it could have been a good option
