Filofax Personal Black Ruler (B133609)

Easy to clip in value for cost

Over priced and flimsy.

A good ruler that does the job and would recommend

This is surprisingly useful for those of us who have returned from the land of electronic calendars to paper in books. Recent research has borne out that physically writing certain types of info on paper increases one's level of comprehension. Once you do that, adding small tools to facilitate the process helps you return the efficiency lost to e-calendars. This little item helps you quickly find current week, allows you to have ruler immediately available, helps you draw straight lines, read along lines of numbers or text and more. In other words, it returns some of the utility lost to older ways when going electronic. Fits Personal size calendars perfectly, markings are visible, and it's rugged enough put up with use. Who would guess there was so much to say about a little piece of tough plastic.?

Exactly what I wanted, it was a replacement for an older one. Yes, I still like to use a paper calendar, I am that old.

Five in one package, my cup runneth over. Great to mark important dates or certain weeks in my planner. I used them to easily get to certain days of the week in the beginning but after a while I realized they were adding too much thickness and causing perforations to then pages I was writing on. But I love love these simple bookmarks and use them constantly now, just not all stacked into one shirt time period.

As indicated, it took very long to ship (about a month). Overall, I've been very disappointed with Filofax quality, their items are very flimsy and thin, not substantial. I guess they could be ok, but nowhere near quality products and this is no exception, I'm surprised how Filofax is so popular. I regret not getting the clear version because this is just a block covers more than a 1/3 of a page and doesn't work that well as a bookmark considering it's a hassle to take on and off too. After just receiving it, it's already bent and scratched fro trying to put it in my agenda. If you just want a ruler this is good but as a bookmark, no. I'll keep them but the concept is not for me at all.

Rec’d quickly the Filofax Personal size measure & page divider in original packaging & new condition, although, it is a 2014 model #133609 -Not as pictured. Only has filofax logo printed at one end but on both sides. Does not include Today printed at either end or either side. Product is smooth, not textured & has a slight brittle feel unlike older Filofax plastic products. Example: The 1969 Pocket size ruler #213609 has more flexibility, an added touch of non-slip texture for grip, plus the millimeter measure is beautifully designed for easy reading.
