  Very versatile, well made, good value, but not really real leather--sort of

  For the money, this is really nice. It feels good too. If it holds up after extended use, I'll get another for sure.But be aware that "PU Leather" is made from polyurethane coating used to bind the parts of leather that aren't good for much else. I think the seller should be a bit clearer on that. But be realistic--you're not going to get full grain leather with this many compartments and zippers for this price.It comes in a very nice gift box if you wanted to make it a gift.I probably have four different types of these now. I use them for different purposes. For example, I keep my banking stuff in one so when I go to the bank, I have everything together.This one, I purchased for carrying travel documents, tickets, hotel confirmations, and my checkbooks when traveling for more than a few days. This fits into my 13.5 inch by 15 inch brief case easily along with my 13" laptop.Probably the most useful features are the numerous pockets and that the thickness expands quite a bit--almost two inches thick, so you can put a lot of stuff in it.The outside zipper is nice and sturdy (although two pulls would be better). There are three compartments inside plus a place to hold an 8 x 11.5 pad and one pen holder. The inside zippered compartment is large enough to easily hold two passports. The inside zipper is a bit flimsy, but it won't matter to me if it breaks as long as the outside zipper survives.The other two inside compartments are closed by a single snap. It seems to have a magnet in the snap--that makes it easy to close. One of those compartments is large enough to hold a full size sheet of paper without folding. My wife's tablet, about 7" x 10" fits in pretty easily. The other compartment behind the snap is smaller and you'll need to fold a full size sheet of paper in half. You could easily put a cell phone or a couple of check books in there, I think.The seven card holders inside easily hold credit cards and business cards, although I'd rather have one larger pocket that would hold my phone and only two or three smaller ones. I always keep my credit cards and drivers license in my wallet.Finally, there is an outside pocket that is almost, but not quite, large enough to hold a full size sheet of paper. It holds the size paper that comes with the pad, but paper sticks over the edge of the portfolio.However, it can hold a cell phone or two or anything you want to have easy access to without unzipping the portfolio.

  Great pockets and places for business cards, etc. The material feels very much like real leather.

  ///UPDATE: Zipper Failed!—Rating downgrade. /// Quality materials and workmanship. A bargain

  UPDATING:I regret to report that after +/- 16 months of use, the zipper closure on this otherwise wonderful portfolio has broken.Thus, my original 5 Star rating has been dropped to 3 Stars.Sad, because in all other respects, the piece remains attractive, seemingly durable, and overall a handsome and useful daily companion for me.Now, part of this may be "on me." I'm one of those dinosaurs who still uses a large format At-A-Glance book to organize and plan my life. And the somewhat "slim profile" here meant that with my 8 1/2" x 11" diary loaded in, a few extra pieces of paper tucked into the interior pockets may have placed some stress on the closure fasteners.That said, given the overall build quality of the portfolio I certainly would have expected more durability from the zipper component.///Note: My original review (which, for some reason, does not appear to have posted when I wrote it) is appended below.///Been living with this portfolio for a few weeks now, and it's a remarkable value for the price.Seems to be very well crafted, the fit and finish is excellent; can't say enough about the materials and workmanship.Really feels like an item that might easily have been twice the price.If pressed to find anything negative to say, perhaps it could be a little more generous in size.I'm an old dinosaur who, after making a game effort to live off the calendar in my smart phone, admitted defeat a couple years ago and realized I needed to go back to my old, large format, Week-At-A-Glance planner/calendar. I truly need the ability to see my time spread out in front of me on something far larger than a Galaxy screen in order to focus clearly.My old portfolio, which finally gave up the ghost, accommodated my planner, an 8 1/2" x 11" legal pad, and an assortment of pens, business cards, thumb drives and the like, plus a couple pockets where I could easily slip a half dozen or so pages of letter sized printouts.Not as much space in the new one. The note pad holder has both horizontal and vertical slots so, based on my old case, I expected to be able to insert the book and legal pad. But with both crammed in, the cover would not comfortably zip.So, I've discarded the pad; it was handy, but non essential. As for random sheets of paper, well the external pocket will accommodate a few I suppose, but I've slipped a 5" x 8" 'mini legal pad' in there for those occasions when I truly do need to jot some notes. Interior pockets can hold a handful of sheets, folded double.These are quibbles, though.Again, this is a quality portfolio, which seems destined to give years of good service.Worth mentioning in closing that the portfolio shipped in a lovely presentation box, more than suitable if you're gifting this.
