Review: Zebra Pitan Gel Ink Rollerball Pen with Magnetic Holder




I'm reviewing the Pitan gel ink rollerball pen by Zebra. 

Oh no, another pen I hear you say? 

There's a twist, stay tuned. 


Out of the package, you get a backing card with instructions, a metal piece and a pen. 

The metal piece is a pen holder that you can attach to your notebook. 
It's long and flat because it's magnetic, the pen is meant to snap to it with magnets. 

It reminds of the apple pencil, how cool is that? 

The pen is of course, magnetic, and it's also retractable with a cute little loop on the top.

It also comes in a very aesthetic minimalist white colour, which I'm really into lately. 
 

The holder clips onto your notebook cover, but as I found it, it doesn't work for cloth/leather covers or covers that are too thick. 

On my delfonics notebook, I clipped it to the plastic divider at the back for the notebook and it is very secure. I don't think it would ever come loose or drop out. 

The holder is designed well. The pen snaps onto the holder easily and is secure.


The pen itself is a standard gel pen by Zebra, I like that they chose to make it retractable so I don't have deal with pen covers. It writes nicely and is pigmented, a very good everyday pen. 

I'm going to leave this setup on my notebook and see how it goes, if you would like to an update, let me know in the comments.

Review: Paperian Make-a-memo memo pad


I picked up these notepads on my last trip to Seoul from a bookstore at Yongsan station. 
I like little notepads like these, they're easy to pick up and use in my daily life. 

These notepads are by a brand called paperian. 
I picked up 3, Today's expenses, Recipe, and To do list. 

To do list and today's expenses are quite self explanatory and I think the small form factor is great for writing daily lists. 

Recipe is a nice yellow and I've been saving a lot of instagram recipes so having somewhere to jot them down is so useful. 



 The paper is a good thickness, no bleeding and ink dries quickly. 
There were no issues with using highlighters too. 

If you spot these in Korea, I recommend you give them a try!
