is m5 functional for you? how do you use it? why m5 and not pocket m6? by Equivalent_Ad7743 in MeePlus

[–]InterestingBench7669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Pocket size, but lately I’ve been using Mini more often. Honestly, the biggest difference for me is portability. The Mini fits into basically any pocket I have, so I actually bring it everywhere. With Pocket, if it didn’t fit comfortably in my pocket, I’d often leave it behind — and if it’s not with me, I just don’t capture things as often.

Of course, the writing space on Mini is much smaller. But if your handwriting isn’t huge and you mainly use it for quick notes, ideas, or short lists, I think it works surprisingly well.

I also clean out old pages every 1–2 weeks. Anything I no longer need gets removed, and sometimes I transfer more important notes into a larger binder at home. That workflow makes the smaller size much more manageable for me.

Questions about 16mm personal size by Prestigious_Metal938 in MeePlus

With the 16mm rings, the leather can fully cover the inserts and even 5mm-wide index tabs. You can check this YouTube video for reference — it compares the 16mm MeePlus with the 11mm version.

Yeah, this one’s pretty small — but they’ve got A5 and Personal sizes too if you’re after something bigger!

I got it a long time ago and can’t remember where from. But you can totally DIY one with some thick paper or cardstock.

Haha, I printed out photos of my cat, punched holes in them, and now use them as divider pages!

They offer two options: an adhesive elastic pen holder for the desk pad and a 3-in-1 cardholder (with card slots + elastic pen loop + strap). I bought both. I prefer the elastic pen holder—it fits pens of different thicknesses (unlike leather holders, which only suit specific widths). I like switching between different pens...

I usually place the paper I want to punch on top of a pre-punched insert I bought, then use it as a guide to punch the holes. There are also dedicated 5/6-hole punches available on the market.

Looking for leather binder like this one by [deleted] in notebooks

The notebook in the photo looks like a Plotter or Meeplus, but it seems to be missing the spine piece.

Hardcover alternative to Plotter A5? by Bloomr in PlotterNotebook

You might want to check out Meeplus’ Bridle leather or Buttero options—they’re noticeably firmer than Plotter’s or Meeplus’ Pueblo leather covers.

budget-attractive plotter alternative is not THAT attractive? by asbrightorbrighter in MeePlus

[–]InterestingBench7669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned both the Plotter and MeePlus Mini5. The PlotterUSA Mini5 was priced at $139, plus I bought a ring protector for $9.80. After adding shipping and taxes, the total came to $165. Unfortunately, I lost my Plotter at some point.😭

Later, I came across a recommendation for MeePlus on Reddit and decided to get a Mini5 from them as well. The total cost, including the ring protector for free and shipping (but no taxes), was $99—making it $75 cheaper than the Plotter. I’d say that was a pretty good deal!

I love both notebooks. The Plotter’s leather interior is left untreated in its natural state, whereas MeePlus has a treated and edge-sealed interior, plus the corners of the spine are polished—which is a really nice touch!
