They're not too thick, the cover is not too stiff, and quadrille is perfect for record-keeping.

The covers are a thicker paper, so not as durable as they could be, but they are just right

The outer cover is flimsier than I imagined, but there's a mini pocket on the inside of the back cover, which I thought was handy

Bright red covers make them easy to find on floor or elsewhere (so long as the elsewhere isn't predominantly red in color)

Occasionally I write down workouts but the small form factor and semi durable cover help keep the pages from getting worn out

My bad, but find it difficult to use a book this small with a flexible cover

Hard Cover version in the back pocket is a little rough.

I slapped a little duct tape on them to hold them together, but I would have preferred a stronger cover.

Good quality paper, pretty solid cover.

I would recommend forking out some more cash and get a sturdy covered moleskine.

In fact, the plain brown cover cries for some artistic endeavor

I used the larger moleskins for journals, these are not hard cover like those, more like a heavier paper cover.

The vibrant red cover is what I think attracts my son to them, so I take two and can give him one while I jot on the other.

I use both sides anyway, but it may bother you if you like prisitine pages-Cover sometimes needs tape to hold it together with heavy use.-Perforated pages sometimes come loose at the tops and bottoms with heavy use.-Cost

Soft cover makes it easy to open and jot a note.

The cover is sturdy, and the sewn binding assures the integrity of the notebook

I love them, in both the hard cover, as well as soft covers.

It was a perfect size and had a sturdy cover enclosing 48 pages of perfect writing paper

I love them, in both the hard cover, as well as soft covers.

I use them for field research, and they hold up well, even with the soft cover, plus have enough pages to hold a lot of notes.

Even though they are soft cover, they are great quality and hold up

You can find fancier journals with hard, leather-wrapped covers, gilded pages, and embedded illustrations or decorative scrollwork

I got these as a gift for my dad along with a beautiful leather cover for this size that I got on Etsy.

Good pocket size, great smooth cover, and crisp smooth pages

I am used to writing in the hard cover Moleskine books but carrying them around is somewhat annoying at times

The cover feels like thick construction paper, there are far fewer pages, and it's easier than the other notebooks they offer to get mangled.

I used the larger moleskins for journals, these are not hard cover like those, more like a heavier paper cover.

The cover is pretty durable, but not nearly as rugged as the Field Notes' cover.3

The cover is very flimsy and after a week of carrying it in the pocket of my pants, it has already been bent and is beginning to lose its form.

It would help if the cover was a little more resilient to pocket wear and sweat

I prefer a notebook with lines and a soft cover - perfect for this one!

but that's a consequence to the soft cover

Durable material and cover

It is ok for small notekeeping but would recommend a cover to keep two or three of them together

I love the brown covers especially (because I like drawing on them) and love the paper and love this size book particularly

The covers are great for decorating and printing.

Portability, quality paper, great cover for the paper inside.

and she doesn't mind the soft cover.

Although they're missing the nice cover and bookmark ribbon, they still have a flap in back to hold loose notes and they've a stitched binding to keep your pages secure

A couple of my hard cover moleskins have broken at the spine but that's because I crush the heck out of them in my camera bags

The semi-flexible outer cover provides enough protection so that it doesn't get

There is paper, and a nice cover

And don't be fooled by the picture, these little notebooks do not have the same smooth cover as the regular Moleskines

They fit perfectly in the back pocket and as a result, I'm never without my moleskine!The cover is deceptively durable, and the pages do not bleed through very easily

I thought they were going to have the soft cover, but instead they have a thick cardboard cover

Cover is flimsy, but I chose this as a notebook for quick notes, not something to last for a long time

The cover is sturdy, but flexible enough that you can carry it in your pocket and it will flex to the contour of your leg.

I purchased these quickly in order to meet the 12pm deadline for same-day shipping, thinking that "soft cover" meant that it was soft leather or faux leather like a traditional moleskine notebook

I would buy this again, but may consider something with a harder cover as to not bend (I hate bended edges or corners).

Perfect travel size, great paper quality, great cover, easy to lug around with you - good space to write, draw, whatever it may be
