BinderBuilder and c-line products

nay nay — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 21:08:54 -0500

Well, I just got my first order from C-Lineproducts . com ...

I purchased the Address Refills (by mistake), the Index Card Holder and the Jr. Business Card Holder. Here is what I think of the product...

1) The smurfs are the exact size, shape and distance as my Levenger pre-punched paper.
2) The discs look exacly like Lev Discs
3) The paper for the address book is quite "thick" - I would say it is very similar to an index card weight
4) The Index Card Holder is exactly like the Myndology 3X5. Transparent covers and regular 3X5 index cards inside.
5) The Business Card holder is crap. The cover is hard plastic (I thought it might be pleather or something). The plastic card holders are flimsy and will probably tear the second I put a biz card in it. And the pages turn pretty hard. I may try to use one of my Lev Compact size covers and see if that helps. This cover is hard to explain, but it is like the storage binders at Rolla. So, it makes it hard to turn pages and also makes the cover not close all the way. So, hopefully I can salvage something (besides the discs) and make my own little planner out of it.

All in all, I am 50% sold.
1) prices are great - quite similar to the great prices at myndology.
2) products not as "fun" as mynd or lev.
3) shipping was inexpensive and I rcvd my package within 2 business days. (Shipping rates and speed will always make me lean towards a company!!)

So, that is my review. Anyone else buy these or other products from the company??

nay nay

They do, however

still have mini jotz pocket pages, sheet protectors, cd holders, etc. still available. Has anyone used those? They look cheaper than the Levenger ones but I haven't seen them in person so don't know about the quality.

I just called Ultimate Office

emoore — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 10:53:46 -0400

about the Jotz refillable notebook and the customer service rep said they don't know if they will ever get them in again. Darn it all.

Jotz update confirmed

I also called Ultimate Office the other day (prior to finding this thread) about the Jotz letter-sized notebooks and got the same sympathy spiel from the rep.

Totally frustrating! Especially since that notebook design seems exclusive to them.

On the plus side, they have tons of the Mini Jotz available.

Jotz update -- WAAAHH!

Rollafool — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:39:35 -0400

Well, Ultimate Office had hoped to get letter-size Jotz notebooks back in stock by the end of May. I've been checking all June but no sign. So I called today, and they're hoping -- HOPING -- for January-February '08 at the earliest.

Sounds like they're very disappointed too because there's been steady demand for them. When I explained why I was calling, the customer service rep groaned in sympathy and didn't even have to look it up to find out what's up.

Unfortunate...

Jotz

When I first found about about Rollabind and Levenger, Jotz notebooks looked like the best options. When I went to order some from ultoffice.com I was told that they were having problems getting the notebooks from their supplier. Right on their site it says Jotz uses Rollabind "Eleven silver metallic Rollabind® discs enable you to instantly remove or insert pages at any time." Rollabind was bought up by some other company, so Jotz probably won't get more until that gets all straightened out. I hope that doesn't have any negative impact on Levenger!

You can still get some Jotz notebook accessories and the mini-notebooks from here: http://www.ultoffice.com/catalog/2046 Sorry, I can't find any pictures of the mini notebook and I'm not sure what size they are. I do remember seeing a discussion of the mini jotz notebook size.

This is the first I've seen of Jotz but I don't regret taking the Rolla leap.

I am wondering how interchangeable they are but they only have the one picture as far as I can tell. Does anyone know if they have more detailed information, including pictures, on these products?

More on Jotz

Rollafool — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 21:48:09 -0500

You're right, ygor, the Jotz book is for 8.5x11. The front cover (available in both frosted clear and black) is about 9" wide. The back cover with the finger ring is about 11" I think (I have the cat on my lap or I'd go upstairs and look!).

The MiniJotz is an interesting and odd little beast. They usually throw one in as a freebie when you get a big book. It's three rings tall, made of rugged thick poly, and the mini paper is 3" tall by 3-7/8 wide (60lb paper, lined). The back cover, however, is 3" tall and 5" wide.

But before you get any great ideas about the back covers, I have to warn you -- they have a big hole at the end for the color rings (interchangeable with all other Jotz products). I'm probably not describing it well -- I'll try to post a picture soon.

So what I ended up doing when I had two of the MiniJotzes was to make a super-small notebook out of the two front covers and the mini paper, and used the 3x5 back covers for some hPDA map template cards of my own design. The big holes of course are a drawback for that application, so as a temporary fix I put in blank cards at the front and back.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Paul

(PS -- the Binder Builder page appears to be down (along with the entire C-Line Products site) but the cache is still available in Google at the moment. Their products look like a great addition to the whole line of Rollabind office products. I wonder why Rollabind doesn't identify either Jotz or Binder Builder among its licensed products...)

Count the rings -- but what about mini-Jotz ?

ygor — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 22:50:15 -0500

The pictured Jotz woould seem to be Letter/A4 size by counting eleven discs.

What size is the miniJotz ?

The Jotz site does not state the various sizes available. Do you have the sizes?

Rollabind Info Plz

Sara — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 18:25:35 -0500

I am so easily tormented by exceptional looking office supplies... and I have to admit that the idea of having a Rollabind system in my hands is torturing me.

I have seen a couple names used around the site but can't locate them now that I want to research my options.

Rollabind is offered by Levenger I believe. Are there any alternatives to this binding system that are either interchangeable or equivalent in useage?

((Ps I received another stack of 'scrap' paper from work... just over 3 inches in width and 32 inches in length... having a Rollabind type system would make scraps like this extremely useful I think ))
