Filofax Mini Flatability Comparison

My Filofax Mini collection has grown; all but two were pre-loved. I finally found a brand new Malden mini on the UK eBay site. Out of all of them, only two had any flatability whatsoever. They're wonderful as wallets, and as you can see, I only collect those that have the full wallet pocket in the back.

Cross, Chameleon, Amazona in bone, black, red, Topaz, Malden

Only two in the whole bunch will stay open at all and perhaps this is because of the wallet pocket.

Malden and Topaz

The rest of them close right back even after pressing open

My goal in the next two years is to simplify my life that I'll only need a mini planner to use as both a wallet and planner. The only two I can see out of this collection to use for this are the Malden and Topaz.

In case you missed it, here's my credit card holder hack.

The Amazonas are so glamorous I will make them work no matter what!

Pocket Filofax fun

Really love what I got from Filoaddict on Etsy

Maybe it's me, but I had a hard time finding page finders that are clear for pocket sized Filofaxes. This pocket Amazona is soooo pretty I only have been using it sparingly. It's shiny, it's red, and that's basically all I need to love something.

Finally a Frixion pen that fits the Filofax penloop

Finally! A Frixion pen that fits the non-elastic pen loop in my Filofax pocket Malden. It is refillable, and as I prefer the .7mm size, the .5mm size that came with it got thrown right out and replaced.

The Frixion Ball Biz has a light metal barrel and I do not miss the rubber grip at all, as that rubber grip prevented the pen from sliding into any pen loops of all of my planners. 


This is the Frixion Ball Biz in Gold (LFB-150EF-GD) found on Amazon.
