Philofax A5 Holborn – Revisited – ryan

The Philofax Holborn has ben a long term favourite of mine.

Mainly Because of the Unique Pocket Design and How You Can Utilise the Pocket Layout, especilantly in the inside front cover.

The Last 2-3 Weeks I’ve Been Using My Black Holborn A5 with a Clasp Clove.

The Main Differences Between The Clasp and the Zip Versions in A5 Are:

• The Clasp Clove Has 25 mm Rings, The Zip Has 30mm Rings;
• The Clasp Clove only has a single pen loop, where nor the zip has two pen loops
• The Clasp has more pockets openings than the zip, but the zip does have external pockets.
• The Clasp is slightly Smaller in Physical Size Compared to the Zip.

The Internal Layout of the Clasp Model. The Cards Show Where the Pocket Openings are.

The Smaller Ring Size wasn’t anssue for me, I was able to get all my inserts on the reings and they are printed on 80gsm Paper.

I Added A Second Pen Loop Using a Philofax Flex Pen Loop With Holes Punched in to it.

This work for me, in normal use the pen insert is close to the front of my page stack, so it doesn’t get in the way and have a pencil to have it.
