Editing The Pen Addict 328/transcript (section)

== iPad Folio Setup ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' All right. Benham says, last one for the week, Myke. All right. We plowed through these. If you had to fill a black leather folio with an iPad, a notepad, and three pens, what would you choose? Extra points for matching colors and consideration of tight pen loops. Hashtag Ask TPA. Okay. What you got?

'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. So, I'm going to start. We're going to do this whole thing. So, I'm going to go with a 10.5-inch iPad Pro. It's the best one for a folio. Provided it fits. I don't know what our dimensions are here. The Crossfield 7Cs notebook. Because it's just a great notebook with Tomori paper in it. If it doesn't fit, the notebook that I think would fit, one that I would like in the size to kind of match with the iPad, would be the Field Notes Arts and Sciences. It's kind of like a similar size, right? And then if I have three pen loops, I would want three different types of thing. Whenever I have a limit like that, I want to make sure I'm covering my bases. So, I would go with either a Retro 51 or Rotaring 600 mechanical pencil and Sailor Pro Gear Slim of some kind. Or I would replace the mechanical pencil with a Sharpie depending on where I'm going. Gotcha.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I like that. That's a good setup. So, my questions revolve around the folio layout as well. And what notebook can fit. You know, does this hold a top flap notebook? Which is kind of my preferred thing for a folio. So, I picked the Notco A5 Spiral Bound. If it's bigger, you can get the A4 Rhodia dot pads with the black cover. So, that'll match your leather folio. Or even the A5 Rhodia pads. So, I was looking at top bound pads for a folio. And then, I went with kind of the one of each theme as well. The Carondash Fixed Pencil that I love so much. I use that on my flights to and from Dallas to take notes and sketch up some drawings and things while I was in the airplane. I love that thing. So, that's like my portable pencil that I take. I would choose a drawing pen. In this case, the Copic Multiliner SP 0.35. It's got a great aluminum barrel. The Carondash Fixed Pencil. Mine's black and white. It was a limited edition. But you can get all black or all white ones now, I believe. So, that would match in there. Then, I would go off the board a little bit and go with the Y Studio Brassing Fountain Pen. I think that's kind of a good professional looking pen that's going to match the folio well. It's slim enough. And it's just kind of cool. It's like a pen I like having around even though if I'm not necessarily using it that very second. But that pen is always cool to me to have around. And I think in a kit like this, I could have picked... I had a hard time picking what fountain pen would I use. Would I pick a sailor or a pilot? Or I was going like form and function there with the Y Studio and style. And that's what that pen brings. So, I think it's a really good setup. I'd be happy with those three things. And then, you know, your favorite top bound pad from probably Rodea. I use the Knockpad, of course, a lot. Disclosure, I own the company. So, I make the things I want to use. It's funny how that works. It's like, I want to use this. So, I'm going to make it. So, yeah. But I am definitely a top bound fan. So, I'd be looking at that. So, that's it, Myke. Gangbuster show today. Gangbuster. And you know what? I didn't have much coffee before the show today. And I hung in there pretty well. I was a little bit worried. You know, I have a lack of caffeine headache. But, man, once we get talking about pens, it just flows.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's all the energy you need, baby. It's right there.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, I need some energy, more energy from the Inky Pen, though. So, let's wrap this up so I can go pull up that video again.
