Thoughts of Tracy. The Filofax Personal Apex.

A few weeks ago I was one of the lucky winners of the Filofax competition "Filofax memories". The prize was a personal Apex. Here are my thoughts and review on it. *warning* contains photos of an apex!!!! ;)

Now I am a BIG fan of Filofax, but really think this is a big fail on their part. The apex comes in 4 colours and should you be desperate enough to buy one, you can get them Here
The apex I received was the pink one.


Filofax describe the Apex as "Crosshatch textured synthetic pu exterior. Matt finish synthetic pu interior."
Ok. I would describe it as cheap looking plastic. In fact, apart from the pink colour, I can't think of anything positive to say about it. I don't like the way the elasticated strap goes around it and I don't like the feel of it.



Anyway. On with the review.
When you open the apex you are greeted with one card pocket and a larger pocket.



It comes with July 2011 through to December 2012 diary. This is week on two pages.


It comes with pastel coloured A-Z tabs


And pastel coloured 1-6 tabs.


Other Contents
Coloured ruled paper
Addresses
To do

At the back there is a frosted ruler and a top opening envelope.


On the inside back cover there is one pocket in which you can put a Filofax notepad (not included).


There seems to be a lack of pockets on this Filofax. It is very gimmicky and I assume it is aimed at young students. I have a 12 year old daughter, and this will not be her first Filofax. Or any Filofax thinking about it.
So there you have it. The Apex. Hope you enjoyed reading.


*Coming soon*

And what did I buy from the Neal street Filofax shop????

The tower of filofaxes started on the table, but soon had to be moved for safety reasons








Then we decided to put them in a row.

There was obviously some photographic interest.
