Moleskine - Classic Click Ballpoint Pen - Black

I had been looking for a journal/notebook that a co-worker has. It had a slot on the left side of every page so that you could put the pen there and always have it handy. I ended up not finding anything of the sort so I was going to leave it at that. Then I went into a BestBuy store and saw that next to the Molestike notebooks, they had these rectangular pens. The pen is rectangular so it has a smaller profile than a regular cylindrical one. Also, the clip is steel and designed to slide right on the cover of the Moleskine notebook. The fit is perfect. So I might not have found what I had in mind originally, but this might turn out to be just what I didn't know I needed.

In terms of design and writing quality, I really enjoy this pen. It rests flat against my agenda planner and writes reliably and smoothly. My only issue is that I purchased the white model and adhesives in the packaging slightly marred the finish toward the writing end of the pen. It was not enough to return (covered anyway during writing) but may have to do with quality control issues related to packaging. I have not have to refill the pen yet, but from the online directions it appears quite easy.

Every time I have put this pen on a piece of paper, it has written something. That's a pretty good track record. It fits nicely with the Moleskin notebooks if you're the type of person that starts twitching if all your stuff doesn't match properly. It has a little clip to attach it to the notebook. It's designed to work together so it doesn't hang off the top weird or use the clip in a way it wasn't attended. Classy. You'll be classy too when you're jotting down notes you'll probably never read again with this fancy pen.

Have two problems with this pen: First it doesn't fit in between the front and rear cover along the edge of the pages like you might think. It has to go on the front or the back of the book. Second, the metal clip that is used to attach it to the book tears the notebook apart fairly rapidly. Then the pen itself isn't that great either. 90% plastic.

Plastic housing, but incredibly useful for a Moleskin Notebook. Writes great on the paper, and the side notch to hold it on the Moleskin looks and functions great. Everyone at work is jealous. I would pay extra for an aluminum housing - but I still dig this one.

I've used Moleskine Notebooks for more than a decade. Pleasantly surprised to know that this pen existed and immediately purchased it. No more fumbling around for something to write with. I keep the pen attached to the notebook at all times. Wish I had known about it years ago.

This pen was very disappointing. I started using it a week ago and it has gotten lighter and lighter and now completely stopped. Spend your money on a pen from the dollar store instead because it will last you longer than this junk. Absolutely a horrible purchase!

Usually doesn't write right away. It doesn't stay on the side of the notebook, falls off. Also it bends and rips the paper when attaching it to the side. Biggest waste of money ever! Only bought it because I had Best Buy rewards to use.
