I had high hopes for this folio. Sadly, they were dashed pretty quickly. Having two of the original folio (sans rings) from filofax; complete with the requisite Made in the UK branding. I ordered this folio expecting much of the same thick leather in a larger size. The leather is soft and the cover is more flexible than desired. While it may satisfy the requirements for some, those two (soft leather and flexible covers) did not meet mine. Thus, it went back.
