== Rotofaden Tashenbergleiter ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Now I'm going to butcher this because I just, it's difficult, right? The company is called Rotofaden, which is R-O-T-E-R-F-A-D-E-N. And this product, I believe, is called Tashenbergleiter. That's what this product is called. T-A-S-C-H-E-N-B-E-G-L-E-I-T-E-R, which basically roughly translated is called Pocket Companion. And what this is, is it's kind of like a folio, right? If you remember, I was talking many weeks ago about a case that I wanted for my iPad. But I wanted a folio case, which had space for notebooks and stuff in it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And that's kind of exactly what this is. So on the right-hand side, I have, my iPad is now in this case and it's held in by like elastic. And then there are these three like clips, I guess, are the way to put it, that go run down the spine of the book, the spine of the folio. And on the left-hand side, you have pockets. Now in these spines, you lift them up and you can lay books down inside them and clip them in. So it's kind of like a, you would, you remember the Pelley Journal? Where you would slide the books underneath the elastic. Right. It's basically like that, but they're metal clasps instead. Right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So there's room for three notebooks inside this. There's three individual clasps. Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly. That's, that's exactly it. And so I, as well as this, and just, you know, I have my field notes in there. So they're sort of like hanging out in the pockets. And then I have, what Christian also sent me was a couple of the notebooks that they make. And he recommends the paper and the paper is very, very nice. I've not done sort of any, I haven't done a lot of testing on it, but it's very, very nice for fountain pens actually. And I also have a set of paper, sorry, plastic wallets, you know, like little document wallets. That comes with it as well. So I clip those in so I can put my papers in here. And it has two pen loops.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh, I see one on the side, one on the bottom.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yes. And I have two because they're all custom made. Wow. So every single item is custom made. So I have a green leather exterior and an orange felt inside. Oh, cool. It's so awesome. So yeah, you select everything and it's all custom made. And he even requested that the pen loops were larger than normal. Wow. So it fits both my Twosby 540 in one of them and I have my Pelican in the other. And even more than all of this, this was a really, really awesome gift that I've been using and loving actually. So if you take a look at these images and you think you want one, and I don't know, I'm sure that they do ship abroad. But they're not cheap. Like it's really not cheap. And actually, I've just seen the price for the first time and I'm now blown away because I didn't want to look. And I've seen it. And I can't believe he's done that for me. So thank you, Christian. But he sent me a note. So he basically took a couple of pages and wrote this really nice sort of letter. And he was talking about how he found out about the show. He had some sort of interest in pens, but he was looking for a new journaling system. And he found our episode on the Bullet Journal. He thought that the idea of a pen show was ridiculous.
