Just arrived this morning: The Nock Co. Hightower Pen Case in Forest Green/Yellow with Union Jack tag and a Nock Co. Dot Dash Notebook.
I backed The Pen Addict‘s Kickstarter in January and got the pen case today [1]Funnily enough it was addressed to MEMM, instead of my first name / surname, but I assume I must have messed this up in my Kickstarter settings..

It looks like an interesting format (whilst I love my Nomadic PE-10, I always think that if it was slightly wider (enough to fit a notebook) it would be more useful. Muji doodle pads do fit, apparently, and I always mean to pick one up for testing 🙂
John, thank you for your comment. The Nomadic PE-10 is a very good looking case (on the photos I’ve seen). I guess the PE-10 and the Nock Hightower are great for retractable pens and pens with caps, but not so great for pencils (unless you put a cap on). I do like Muji’s pads, but am not sure which ones are Muji’s doodle pads. I should try to find out.
Matthias, the pads I’m thinking of are in Leigh Reyes’ review of the PE-10;

I think they’re a bit like a shopping list pad, but with plain paper. It looks like they may have been discontinued since Leigh’s review though (no sign on Muji’s website, at least) I may make one myself with Graf-It dot grid paper.
Thanks for the link.
They do look familiar (maybe from seeing them in store) but I never bought one. If the squares on the cover are on the sheets then I wonder what purpose they are for.
