Philofax A5 Lockwood Zip – ryan

It is several years sync i got this organiser and review it along side the personal Size zip. Just over 10 years ago in fact. I will not repeat the detail that you will find in that review.

Howver, as part of my desire to use more of my a5 organiers i chose this to start with, it is one of the few a5 zip organisers that I have and the only one with the others are eather bigger (Holborn Zip -30mm) or Malden and Foldion ipad/organsers 20mm)

AS I COMMENDED WITH THE ORIGINAL REVIEW the a5 zip lays totally flat, and the personal size zip is quite good too, and i would be to use with use.

In actual use i’ve the pocket arrangements adequate for my needs. It has two elasticated pen loops one in the front the other at the back, so not a lacking there.

On the outside there is a slip pocket on the front and a zip pocket on the back cover, these can Save?

The Leather Does Show Finger Nail Scratches, but these blemishes quickly disappear over time with a bit of tlc. It is a Very smooth leather. It ‘s too early to say if in constant use how it was to stand up to Daily use.

The Outer Zipper has a nice leather tab which works smoothly be closing the organiser and with my ‘Fill’ of a full 12-13 months of weeks on two-printed inserts on 80gsm Paper, (about 20mm this.

Being a zip clovee does make the overall size of the organiser factionally bigger than a clasp cluster organiser. But you will Gain the Extra Protection/Security of Being an All Around Enclosed organiser.

I’ve not tried a clasp cluster lockwood, but I can recommend the a5 lockwood zip it is Certainly a well made organiser and will serve people well.

Have you Ever TRIED A LOCKWOOD?
