Portfolio/Padfolio/Professional Interview Resume Folder/Document Organizer with Refillable Letter Size Writing Pad/Business Gift (Brown)

To be honest I wasn't expecting much for the $11.95 but boy was I wrong!!! From the presentation of the packaging (it comes in a nice, logo stamped box which is very gift worthy). I strayed from my traditional solid black and chose the grey&black: very stylish, very smart looking. It is a bit smaller than my older portfolio by almost an inch, but still easily takes a full sized 8.5x11 inch pad and I like the slightly more compact size for carrying. The 3 inside pockets and 1 outside pocket are plenty, but the most unique and my favorite feature is the closures strap which slips over the front easily and snaps right back to the back when released; no fussing with it required. It's really nice to know it won't open when carrying or sliding off the car's seat. As far as durability, I guess only time will tell, but it has a great look and feel and seems to be make of good materials and well constructed.

Great for conferences and workshops

The portfolio is sturdy and well finished. I purchase this item as a gift. First interview and wanted something clean and simple but with extras! This items checked all of the boxes. It helped with all the documents the person had to carry a keep them organized.

This is an overall, very nice portfolio. For the price, it is an excellent deal. Here are my issues with it: 1. The smell is a very strong chemical/plastic odor for the first week or so. Easily fixed by rubbing down and keeping a dryer sheet in the inside folder. 2. The interior folder is too tight to slide a page into. You can fold and insert it but unless you really stretch it out, no chance of a page fitting in there. Next the goods: 1. It looks really nice. A lovely textured reddish tan, almost cognac color. 2. The flap closure is much better for writing purposes than a zipper running around the entire edge. All things considered, this is great for light work and makes for a great, professional, brown option for matchy people like me, because you can’t carry a black folio with your navy shirt and khakis.

I needed a nice-looking, simple cover for my legal pads, and this fit the bill. I just opened it (so this review is not after weeks of use) but it has a sturdy feel and a great appearance. It is basic, with a place for the legal pad, a slot for some loose papers, a pen holder, and a sleeve that can be used for cards or whatever. But, that was what I was looking for in a portfolio--something basic that looked good. The company was quick to deliver (I think I received it two days after ordering). So, my initial thoughts are this: a nice portfolio for a good price.

I wavered between 4 and 5 stars. The portfolio is what I was looking for, it's just slightly lower quality than I had hoped for. But the price was great, and I'm writing this review because I got a great email from one of the co-founders, one that promised exceptional service at a point where I had already paid. I didn't test this promise, but their making it at this point in the transaction strikes me as a very good sign.If you want a high-end portfolio, you're probably going to need to pay a lot more than this. If you want a good-looking, workable portfolio at a great price with the prospect of great service if you need it, this is the product for you.

This ended up being a very good value for the money. I don't think I would be able to find a better quality portfolio at this price point. Some of the less positive comments have called the leather cheap- this is clearly not the super fine quality leather that you might find in an expensive fine leather good, but the price point for that kind of portfolio, at least based on a quick search of amazon, is probably at least $50. This portfolio has blended right in to the setting that I am using it(professional job interviews) and looks and feels good.

I like this portfolio, it looks great in person, feels quality and comes with a legal notepad in already attached. I am glad I have this and would consider buying more in the future. I feel this is good quality for the price.
