UBERWORKS Tehnik Classic Hardcover Dotted Notebook | Stay Organized | Premium Writing, All Purpose Journal, Planner, Organizer | 192 A5 Dot-grid Pages, Back Folder | Anthracite/Army Grey

The cover is very durable and the overall notebook is the perfect size to take with me in my purse or my backpack to class. I use this for my bullet journal planner and so far it has worked perfectly for what I need. The elastic on the outside keeps it from opening while in my bag, which keeps the pages safe. The cream colored paper is also one of my favorite parts because bright white paper often looks cheap or is just too bright for my liking. The dot ruling is exactly what I was looking for, the two bookmarks make it easy for me to hold my place in my planner section and my lists that I keep. The included table of contents and space for page numbers is something that a lot of notebooks don't have, which I am very glad to have included in this one. The back has eight perforated pages that I can use to put my bujo collections on that I would like to migrate to my next bujo when this one's full. I haven't had trouble with any ink bleeding through besides markers, but markers like sharpies, etc. bleed through on just about anything so I don't attribute that as a fault of the notebook at all. I honestly can't wait to use this until it's full so that I can purchase another one! This is definitely my notebook of choice from now on. Fantastic job, UberWorks!

I'm thrilled at the quality of this notebook. The orange is... well very orange but it's exactly as pictured so literally zero surprise. I'm using this for bullet journaling (my first foray) and wasn't ready to dive into the $25+ world of notebooks. That said, the quality of the notebook exceeds that of 'skin varieties I've used in the past. I'm a life-long notebook-aholic, and while I might still purchase other notebooks in the future (particularly for things like indexes and pre-numbered pages), but being super frugal I'll probably stick with these anyhow, and Uberworks will absolutely replace those that don't have those features for me indefinitely in the future.The paper itself is of really fantastic quality. 80gsm, same as Leuchtturm. Zero bleed-through/feathering with any of the pens I've used to date (Staedtler Triplus, Faber Castell Pitt, PaperMate Inkjoy gel, fountain pens, highlighter), with my Milan eraser zero residual pencil scratching left from doodles, dots are perfectly uniform throughout. I appreciate the sheet ID and content section, as well as thick owner data page (pwner data page now). This is definitely a contender in this market. The only possible issue I could see for those looking to use these notebooks to this end might be that the dot grid is spaced more broadly, 20 dots horizontally, 31 dots vertically, so if you're looking for extra space in the margins you'd want to take that into consideration.

As an avid collector (and user) of notebooks, I was really excited when I found out about these series of notebooks, and I really wanted to support a company who were so enthusiastic about what they were producing - I wanted to see them succeed. As such, I ordered the notebooks and got them shipped all the way to Singapore. They arrived today.Wanted to do a number of tests before using this journal.Upon opening the journal, I felt that the design was simple, sleek and very easy to use. However, there are ID tags on the bottom right of odd numbered pages, which I felt might be a little bit difficult to use, along with the sheet ID and content page at the back of the book. I might figure out a use for it eventually.I tried (on one of their perforated pages) to run an ink test to see how well the pages coped with 1) bleeding and 2) feathering:-1) Brandless markers, as well as Sharpie bled right through the paper. For brush pens, Artline had a significant amount of bleeding that would be obvious on the reverse side, but Tombow did very well. Most pens didn't bleed, but would leave marks if you wrote with too much strength, due to the thin paper. Lastly, I also quickly scribbled with my Schneider fountain pen, and it actually did bleed a little, to my disappointment.2) Feathering was non-existent for ANY of the pens and markers. I was very impressed.However, my main gripe was the ability to lay the notebook flat on the table. With the image attached, you could see how there was no way to completely flatten both sides of the book at the same time. This would definitely hamper 2 page wide spreads (bullet journalling and sketching). I compared it with my other notebooks, and realized it was because of the way the spine was made - it seemed to open up nicely on the bottom, but was stuck on to the more rigid card stock(?) at the top of the book. (refer to images) I'm not sure if this is a manufacturing defect, or if all their hardcovers were made this way.Overall (TLDR for the lazier ones):A good notebook for daily use, albeit a little expensive for me to ship over.Notetaking with a ballpoint / ink pen would be good, but perhaps not the fountain pen.Bullet Journalling with the usual Tombow markers / zebra mildliners / pens would cause minimal bleeding that's barely visible, but refrain from using markers.

I wanted something pretty to bring in the new year and this silver was perfect. I liked that it had less pages because I tend to switch journals mid year so I didn't feel like I would waste this journal. It has a pocket in the back but I reenforced it with scrap book paper because it ripped easily. It has 2 stickers to cover up mistakes which I thought was clever. It has an elastic band closure and two book mark ribbons. The dot grid is wider than the leuchtturm 1917. Which means there are fewer boxes. The reason I gave this 3 stars was because the paper is too light weight and nearly ALL of my pens regardless of brand or type either bled through or ghosted on to the other side. That is a little disappointing. I use a lot of other materials in my books and the Microns seemed to be ok. So I will see how long before I switch out.

Great design. Has the pages needed,however there is a small rectangle at the bottom of each page and it would be better without it there.
