In both cases, these give you plenty of choices for notebooks to put in them, which is handy. This is probably one of the first things you'll want to think about - how big do you want your cover to be? Our favourites are ones that take the standard 90x140mm pocket notebooks, and ones that take A5 notebooks. Repeat for more notebooks, or pass one behind the main elastic loop, and they'll often hold three, four, or more notebooks without any trouble. Some have only one elastic loop, but can still hold multiple notebooks - you pass an elastic loop around the spines of two books, attaching them together, then feed one of the books through the loop in the cover, so two are held at once. Some, like our Cult Pens/Ruitertassen covers, have multiple elastic loops, so up to three or four notebooks can be held, just by passing each one behind a different elastic loop. There are a few variations of the elastic loop type. Some use elastic loops to hold the notebooks in place, looped around the spines. Some have a horizontal slot that a top-bound notepad can push into, often used for meetings or conferences. Some just have slots to push the notebook's covers into, so they wrap around, adding a bit of protection. Many covers can hold more than one notebook, and some have extra pockets, or can hold accessories too. They can be made of some beautiful quality leather, or some nice fabric designs, and once you choose the one that looks best to you, all your notebooks will look great. However nice your notebooks look, a good cover will probably look nicer. If you buy more expensive notebooks mainly so the covers will last, you could switch to cheaper alternatives. If you use notebooks with covers that won't stand up to the handling you give them, a cover can protect them, so they'll last longer. And they often look very smart too, with some beautiful cover designs available, or plain and understated if that's your preference. In some cases, they can be a bit rough and ready, and the covers might not last as long as they need to, but in the case of most decent quality notebooks, they're quite sturdy enough to stand up to plenty of use.
