The outer cover is hard enough to be sturdy for everyday use

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

it is so nicely made, the cover is sturdy, professional, and has a lovely color

Hard Cover-The hard cover is great

I gravitated towards this journal because of the colorful, bright covers but the paper inside isn't up to snuff

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

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

The cover is hard and sturdy

The cover is durable and having two bookmarks is key

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

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

I really prefer a softer cover, and the longer and narrower profile of the Molskein

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

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

I love the hard cover, and gold color.

And the cover is So soft to the touch

The hard cover is nice and can handle a little more tough love than my last flexible one

Bummed the cover looks like this :(, but overall a good journal.

Love these notebooks, the hard cover makes writing anywhere easy

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap.

However, the cover was dirty and had marks in it like someone hit it a few times or just handled it very roughly

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

I wish the cover was a little more flexible, otherwise it's exactly what I was looking for.

I like the wider size and the hard cover.

I received the item on time and the book inside is great; however, when I received my book it was not wrapped in plastic and the front cover was very obviously dented and broken :( inside the book wasn't effected at all, but a little disappointed overall

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.

Love the cover - and the color

Wonderful notebook, sturdy cover, beautiful pages

The band is tighter than my old Moleskine ever was, and the hard cover feels much more durable (though I do sometimes miss the leatherette soft cover feel

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

It's a good size, sturdy feeling cover

Sturdy, durable cover wore well

Sturdy outside cover,

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

Some of my soft covers fell apart from constant use.

Great cover and quality paper weight

Nice cover and extras, but the pages are NOT ink proof

This journal boasts a beautiful cover, handy elastic page marker, and paper that doesn't "ghost" too much even when using markers.

I have another very cheap notebook similar to this but has a nicer moleskin cover and the pages are very thick and nothing leaks through

The cover is sturdy enough to write in the journal on my lap

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

Personally I prefer the cover of this notebook as well

Personally I prefer the cover of this notebook as well

Pros:- Durable seeming cover

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

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

Also like that the cover is solid.

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

The fact that it's hard cover is amazing

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

The cover is soft and beautiful

The thickness of its pages was fantastic but the flexible cover and lack of pages was a letdown

The band is tighter than my old Moleskine ever was, and the hard cover feels much more durable (though I do sometimes miss the leatherette soft cover feel

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

Great cover, great quality paper, and some nifty features

The cover is durable and has held up to rough condition

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

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

The cover is beautiful

The cover and table of contents in the front are great

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

It's also not really a hard cover either

only wish the cover was more durable

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

The hard cover is nice and can handle a little more tough love than my last flexible one

Hard Cover-The hard cover is great

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

I recommend it but don't buy it if it's over $20.I took one star off because the soft cover is very soft and bent really bad

The cover is sturdy and there are lots of pages to work with.

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

The hard cover keeps it from getting bent in my bag, and the elastic band keeps it closed

arrived with dented corners and at the bottom of each page, there are dents.40 pages in and the cover is already starting to fall apart

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

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

I read up on bullet journals, overwhelmed with phones, computers, paper, and this hard cover book is perfect for my needs

The covers are very nice

but I bought another also to compare and enjoyed the cover, spine, and structure of the lemome better Dotted Bullet Journal/Notebook - Lemome A5 Hardcover Dot Grid Notebook with Pen Loop - Premium Thick Paper - Page Dividers Gifts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07168XGHT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_1sTWpMAbOoLOD

It has nice paper and a sturdy cover.

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap

Nice sturdy hard cover.

Love the red cover!

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

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

However, the product itself is wonderful, with a hard leathery cover, great elastic and double bookmarks and dotted pages.

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

Beautiful journal, thick cover

I was nervous because when I ordered mine the cover was damaged from shipping, though I dealt with it because the notebook was still usable

The cover, even though it was protected with clear film, arrived all scratched, there was something that looked like smeared char on the back pocket (it came off with some eraser action though

Pretty cover and nice dotted space, perfect for sketching

Great quality cover!

It has a hard cover that lays flat, numbered pages, two place markers, an index, a back pocket, stickers for archiving, a dotted grid, a few perforated pages in back, and 249 pages in total

It lays nice and flat when opened, pages and cover feel nice, love the rear pocket, page numbering is genius, and the dots are as well!!

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

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

So I decided to splurge on this journal for its hard cover, numbered pages and ribbon markers

Nice sturdy hard cover.

durable cover, paper doesn't feel cheap

The cover is strong and it comes with little stickers for labelling your

but I was disappointed that the cover has some stains

Hard cover is great quality, pages are thinner than anticipated

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