In this unboxing and first impressions video, I’m taking a really close look at the Roterfaden Taschenbegleiter Special Edition (TGS-25) in the A5 Slim size—this limited collaboration release from The Gentleman Stationer. I walk you through the overall design and materials (that soft olive green leather on the outside with the dark grey suede interior is such a vibe), and I share what immediately stands out to me about the build quality and the way Roterfaden thinks through functionality. I also break down the practical features that matter when you’re actually using a cover day-to-day: the three pairs of stainless-steel clips (and how they slide so you can adjust notebook height), the interior pockets, and that zippered compartment that can hold things like cards, a phone, and small accessories. I talk about the removable elastic closure options too, because I know a lot of us have strong feelings about elastics—especially if you like to customize your setup. Finally, I cover fit: this flexible A5 Slim is made to handle refills/notebooks up to about 4.3" × 8.3", and I share my thoughts on what kinds of notebooks make the most sense in a cover like this. If you’ve been curious about Roterfaden or you’re hunting for a premium, modular notebook cover that’s more than just pretty, this video is a solid starting point.
