Thoughts on the Maxped 3×5 Notebook Cover?

[admin]

Hi there EDCFers,

I’m contemplating some minor reorganization in my EDC, and I’d appreciate some info on the smallest (3×5) Maxped notebook cover:

• Is it noticeably smaller than the Micro Pocket Organizer?
• Is it really pocketable? (As the Micro is NOT…).
• Does anyone use it in an organizer role? If yes, is it any good?

My on-person carry is quite minimalist, and this is the way I like it:
Headwind (left wrist); Alox Cadet (watch pocket); Eiger Oveready w/ Ti clip (watch pocket); Bullet Pen w/ clip (left front pocket); Saddleback Sleeve Wallet (left front pocket); phone (right front pocket).
This setup is very comfortable for me, nothing is noticeable until needed.
However, I would need a small organizer in which I could put all the above stuff except the watch and the phone, if needed (I have to get through airport-like security at work).

I know Maxped has some less-than-perfect reputation, so I would be interested in some competitive options as well, with the following caveats:

• Must be noticeably smaller than the Maxped Micro.
• Must have the elastic straps for organization on the inside of the pouch.
• The main compartment must be zippered.
• No belt carry. It just doesn’t work for me.
• Must not cost more than $20.

Thanks in advance for any info!

PS. I posted in the Notebook Cover section of the forum, but the function would rather be EDC organizer or something like that.
