RocketbookPen/Pencil Holder (Pen Station)

In the early 1970's at an exhibition at Cape Canaveral, (now Cape Kennedy), my family learned that by the year 2000 we should be living in a paperless society, (also a society that was environmentally friendly, and trashless). Mom used to screech about how we were still wasting tons of paper every year. Lo! and Behold! Rocketbook!! This is the most amazing invention since the personal computer was introduced into the common consumer's home in the 1980's. I can easily see using only 2 notebooks and the memo pad and needing no other paper, (except of course to buy greeting cards) for the remainder of my life. I will be buying these for my grandchildren too. The only thing is, it's a shame that there aren't more dry erase crayons for the Rocketbook coloring pad. Crayola only makes the original 8 pack and an 8 pack of bright colors. I hope that they make catch up with Rocketbook soon! I strongly recommend these for anyone who uses a lot of notebook paper. They are perfect for school, whether grade school or university. They are even easier to use than writing with a stylus on a tablet. The stylus never quite catches ones handwriting perfectly. One has to be very precise when using a stylus. With the Rocketbook, you simply write as you always have, make an "X" on the symbol for the path you want the page, or batch of pages, to take, then, holding your cell phone over the page to capture the entire page, scan the page. Voila! The entirety of the page is now in the designated folder in the cloud, or sent via emailto the person or persons you wish. This is FANTASTIC! No more wasted paper at the end of the day. One notebook is all your student needs for the entire school year! One notebook is all you need to author a book. (Even a picture book!) I believe everyone should buy Rocketbook and start not wasting paper today!

I mean I really can't say a whole lot. What they described is what you get. It holds a pen, it is so streamline that I don't notice it when writing. I have to say that is probably the biggest thing for me because nothing bugs me more then my paper being uneven.My pens go in and out of the spot easily. and it handled a day in my big bag. The adhesive seems to be nice and strong. I mean it is on there and it hasn't moved. But it is day one :) I have high hopes though.

I bought this pen loop for my Zequenz A6 (4.02 x 0.79 x 5.51 in) bullet journal because I like to keep at least one pen on me at all times. I thought about which way to put it on and decided the side would work best for me (the top wasn’t bad, but would get in the way of my tabs). I chose to attach it to the very back instead of just inside the back cover as I like to decorate the inner covers. Purely an aesthetic choice.As shown in the pics, I tried a variety of pens to see which would be best (Pilot Frixon, Pilot better retractable, pilot precise v5, sharpie highlighter, Tul medium, Staedtler fine liner, and lastly a non name brand 4-in-1 pen). Surprisingly, the Pilot Precise V5 was the hardest to go in (had to put it in upside down before righting it) and the loosest was the Staedler.I quite like this pen loop and really hope it will stick as I use and abuse my notebook. The only drawback is how large the sticking part is, but that could also be down to being attached to an A6. It probably wouldn’t be quite as unwieldy in a larger notebook.

A problem with Rocketbooks is that it requires a Frixion pen. If you don't have an easy way to keep them together, new users will grab another pen, start writing in the book and find it is not erasable (without using "Goo-be-gone" or alcohol). The only problem is the original Frixion pen had no clip, so it worked well with this little holder. But the replacement Frixions all have a pocket clip that makes it harder to use. You have to slide the button end UP into the holder to work because the Frixion pen uses a hard rubber covering on the barrel that will not slide into the holder. But once you figure that out, it means you have to use TWO hands to insert the pen, but the holder improves the convenience of always having the Frixion pen with the Rocketbook. So, even though the price seems high for such a doodad, once you use it, you will be happy. BUT, when you get it, think about where you want the holder. I put it on the side, but it gets in the way sometimes, so consider putting the holder on the TOP edge of the Rocketbook, not the side.

Fast to install and it holds a pen better than using the spine

At first, I didn’t think I needed this little guy... But wow, I can't imagine not having it on my Rocketbook. Having my pen right there, ready to go, has made my note-taking sessions ten times smoother. No more digging through pockets or bags – my pen is right where it needs to be, every time.I gotta admit, I wasn’t too thrilled about it being stuck on the outside back cover at first. I put it on the inside of the front cover to keep the pen facing the right way, but it ended up causing a bump in the pages. Figured it would not work out this way..Found out by accident how tough built this thing is– the adhesive and the holder, both. I slapped it on, changed my mind about the placement.. I pulled it off carefully, repositioned it, and it stuck like it was new, and it's still going strong after a solid month! I'm sure this thing is staying on for good.

It should have come with the originally purchase item, not an add on.Works ok, a little difficult to get the pens with the rubber grip into the pen holder
