'HINGE' review, a must-have tool for those who take notes and sketches on A4 copy paper
Notepads and sketchbooks are one of the must-have items for designers and illustrators to write down their ideas as they are, but unlike notepads and sketchbooks that require replacement, any A4 size paper can be used. ' HINGE ' can be transformed into an original memo tool by sandwiching it. It's a perfect item for people who just write notes, sketches, drawings, etc. on A4 copy paper for printing, so I actually tried using it.
HINGE
This is HINGE.
When you take it out of the package, it looks like this. Simple is best design with no letters or brand logo on the front or back.
The surface of HINGE has a unique rough texture and is comfortable to touch. It looks like leather, but it uses a resin sheet material.
The feature is that there are two holes in the hinge part.
I thought that there was no logo at all, but there was a small logo 'idontknow.tokyo' on the hinge part of HINGE. It seems that the logo will be placed on the inconspicuous hinge part from the position that HINGE is a supporting role of memos and sketches while putting a brand logo to show 'who made it'. ..
HINGE is folded in half, so when you open it, it looks like this.
One side is like a file ...
You can stock about 20 sheets of A4 paper for memos and sketches here. If you put the paper materials distributed at meetings and recitals here, it seems that the materials will not be bent in the bag.
The edge on the other side looks like this ...
Use it by sandwiching the paper here.
Looking up, it looks like this. There is a fold of about 2 cm, just put a piece of paper here.
It's just sandwiched in the gap, but it holds the paper firmly, and even if I turn the hinge upside down and shake or shake it, the paper doesn't fall off.
You can see how HINGE is actually shaken and shaken upside down in the following movie.
Looking at the hinge part from the outside, a groove is dug firmly in the part to be bent.
It seems that this is also the case when viewed from the inside, and it seems that this groove allows HINGE to bend freely 360 degrees.
So, I actually bent the hinge and used it. You can write whatever you like, such as notes and sketches, by sandwiching the paper with a pen.
The resin sheet used for HINGE is as hard as an underlay, so you can hold HINGE in your hand and make notes or sketches like this.
Furthermore, if you have a pen with a clip ...
Put the clip part in the hole in the hinge ...
It can be fixed to the HINGE by rotating the pen 90 degrees sideways.
It looks like this when you close it with the pen attached.
When viewed from the outside, only the clip part of the pen protrudes to the outside.
Furthermore, if the pen has a clip on the lid part ...
You can use the pen with the lid attached to HINGE like this.
Therefore, you can open HINGE and take notes immediately.
Until then, if you were told that you should use an ordinary binder, it has a sophisticated beauty that the binder does not have, and because it is folded in half, it stains the paper even if you put it in a bag. It's good that you don't have to worry about tearing it. Also, if you have a pen with a clip, you can carry it with HINGE, so even if you forget the pen case, you can write notes and sketches with confidence. Most A4 size paper can be sandwiched, so even if it is not a blank copy paper, you can use any memo paper as long as you have enough space to write something, such as misprinted paper, unnecessary paper materials, or the back of a leaflet. It is possible to transform it into a drawing campus.
