Nicely made

UPDATE 7-22-18: here are the rest of the pictures that I couldn't upload previously. Since I can only post one picture, I decided to post the inside. The outside and inside look exactly like the advertised pictures. This portfolio is 12 1/4 inches in height and a little less than 9 1/2 wide. I like the brass corners. They add style to the portfolio. I'll have to get used to only being able to use one note pad at a time, but that's ok. It's sturdy and stylish. The inside pockets are black plastic. I bought it to go with the bison denim 14 inch briefcase, $72.99 .. (the black briefcase with the back zipper pocket) ... And let me tell you .. I only have one word for them matched together ... Classy. I put the title of the briefcase below, if you want to check it out. My review should be up for it soon. The briefcase also looks exactly like the picture.

After One Year

I bought this portfolio after the great reviews. After having it for one year, I found it to be study to write on, stylish, and pretty handy. The edges being brass metal are also a nice touch, although people think it is a music folder at times. The outside still looks nice and with the high-use, it looks brand new. The materials are good, but perhaps the quality of construction could be improved upon. The notepad inside is junk - just replace with your favorite notepad. Though the product was great, just after one year, the binding started to tear. The seams that make the pockets and the interior binding are from what looks like melted or sealed plastic/nylon. With the tear, you can see the foam and hard cardboard inside. Though its a small tear, I surmise it will continue to grow with repeated folding. UPDATE: I contacted Samsil and after sending them a photo of the tare, they replaced it for free!

Indestructible... here's the story.

UPDATE: Just ordered my replacement over a year later. ...ORIGINAL: Wasn't looking for something impressive, just needed a folder. I have been using it since I lost my last 42.00 binder. Today leaving for work late, I placed my stuff on the roof of the car. When I got to work I had my drink, and stuff just no binder. Somewhere between home and the carwash was my binder. I was sure it was shot. I backtracked to see if I could locate pieces of it. I found it a mile away from home wide open in the road getting run over by the constant traffic. I circled the block, pulled over to the side, hit my hazard lights and dove into traffic after the binder. Much to my surprise, the binder is in excellent shape. The papers and stuff inside was all gone, but not a scratch on the binder. Definitely worth the money. Best quality.

Great Professional Portfolio

I got this portfolio for a recent job interview, and it worked really well. It is very professional looking, comes with a lot of paper, and has enough space to hold my resumes and business cards. There is also a loop for a pen. The pen loop is a little inconvenient, though, because unless you are using a very slim pen, it will line up with the pad of paper, making that side thicker than the other when it is closed. It's a minor downside but still worth mentioning. The only other possible downside is how large it is. This is my first portfolio so I was surprised at how much bigger it was than I was expecting, but should still fit in most bags or backpacks. Overall, A professional looking and durable portfolio perfect for taking to job interviews or meetings.
