Okay, so I've been using this little beauty for about a week now and I'm totally digging it! The dark jade color is even nicer in person than in the photos - rich and earthy.

The leather feels amazing - like proper full grain leather should. It's got that nice weight to it without being bulky. Fits perfectly in my back pocket opposite my wallet (just like I wanted).

What surprised me most was how quickly the leather started developing character. Already getting those nice subtle creases that make it look properly broken in.

The card slot is super handy for my most-used cards, and the refillable design means I won't have to buy a new cover when I fill up my current notebook. Smart thinking!

Honestly? This feels like one of those purchases that'll still be with me years from now. The kind of thing that just gets better with age. Already planning my next Hide & Drink purchase!
