but I was disappointed that the cover has some stains

Love the red cover!

The cover and table of contents in the front are great

The build of the notebook seems to be good, with good quality paper and a nice cover

However, I can't imagine how much worse a soft cover journal would be torn up already,

Pros:- Durable seeming cover

My only problem with it, which is probably my own fault anyway, is that the front cover got dented from being in my backpack

I feared that the hard cover would make this notebook heavy, but so far there's no worries there

It has nice paper and a sturdy cover.

The hard cover is super nice and protects the journal from getting corner folds on the pages which I absolutely DESPISE.

I love the feel of the notebook as a whole and the cover feels smooth

The sturdy leather cover makes it easy to just through in my purse - definately a plus

The fact that it's hard cover is amazing

It's also not really a hard cover either

The cover of the one I received is ever so slightly warped, but not enough to go through the hassle of returning it.

Has a hard cover, index at the front, pages are numbered and full of dots, had an envelope pocket inside the back cover

The hard cover is a nice touch, and I like the color choices, definitely won't lose this orange one.

Nowhere in the description does it say that there’s a design on the cover, it’s advertised as a solid and design free cover but that is NOT what you get.

I love the color and everything about the journal except that it came to me with a dented cover

great - cover is beautiful and durable, love the elastic strap, pocket in the back, index, numbered pages, love it, all great quality

If you buy this thinking you're getting a hard cover book, you are going to be extremely disappointed.

The cover on this journal is sturdy and will not fall apart easily

The thick pages, hard cover, bookmarks, size and quantity of pages put its quality above comparable products

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap.

Leuchtturm1917 provides more colors than most other notebook manufacturers, the covers are durable, and again, they ate beautifully and elegantly crafted

The dot grid makes it so versatile and the cover is great protection for the pages inside

Other than that and a few dents on the hard cover, it seems to be an okay notebook

The covers are very nice

Way better quality than my former planner/notebook/bullet journal (a soft cover moleskine)

I like the wider size and the hard cover.

Great quality cover!

The paper is also lovely and smooth and I love the hard cover and elastic band -- my journals have a tendency to get beaten up but this feels like it will remain in good condition

Unfortunately when I opened it, the hard cover was completely creased

i like the hard cover and built in index pages, as well as the fact that pages are numbered

Paper itself is smooth, thin, & off white, and the hardcover protects the notebook very well but be advised if you're hard on this notebook the cover will show dents and scuffs

Beautiful journal, thick cover

Covers are extremely thin...not a real hard cover by any definition.

only wish the cover was more durable

The front and back covers are smooth and sturdy, as is the binding

Essentials Dot Journal does not have numbered pages or it didn't last year, but the paper is thicker and the cover is stiffer.

i want a soft cover or spiral next time its hard for me to write on the back page or page to the left,

I like the dotted one because I can easily create whatever I want on the page (boxes for to-do lists, grids, etc.).It's nice that it has a pocked on the back, inside cover
