Architect A7 Mini Notebook Organizer 6.3 Overview

I like that. A hook material on one side of the bare wallet might be a useful feature to defeat pickpockets. But your idea may be better. Now I hope a prototype isn’t too great a challenge.

That 56mm elastic is brilliant. And it's not the only good idea there. That bill-clip/fold would be nice independently. It would work as the Velcro attachment instead of a knife holder. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. I did thought of the money fold-clip as detachable, but that would designing it to close properly… another thing I need time to think about. That 56mm elastic idea came in the middle of the construction! I already had the red 1.0+ mm paracord mounted. The front Velcro surface is igniting design possibilities. We will see. Thank you for taking some time in reacting to the video.

@@BADDesignLeather I envision a simple cord-and-button closure for the detachable billfold. They could be carried separately but stored together. I'd like to carry A7 size note paper with an appropriate pen in my shirt pocket when possible. Thin is good. But a front pocket option is also good. Your design n suggest both are possible.

@@k8ilb You know what, after some thinking and sketching a few minutes of this idea, I just came up with that design iteration. The detachable money + cards units, and the main base body houses the notebook and pen + a thin tool compartment. I even solved for the hooks surface on the wallet to be covered when separate and not just something separate piece that you can lose - it would be integrated onto the wallet component. A design that would deserve of version 7.0.

I think it looks very cool. I like all the card slots and the pen holder in the spine. I also like that you can take off that velcro panel if you design a different type of panel in the future. My question is - do you carry this in your pocket, or in a bag? Since it is so thick, I doubt if it would be very comfortable in a pocket unless you wear cargo pants.

My 6.1 version is roughly 1.5” and I place it in my front pocket. This 6.3 has increased thickness because of the Velcro panel and the additional thickness of the card slider. Well, I guess I’ll have to figure out how to make it thinner. Trying the 6.3 in my sports shorts and feels like the previous one. It’s not for everyone. But thanks for the reaction.
