If you’re the kind of lunatic who carries a notebook everywhere scrawling to-do lists, half-formed revelations, bar napkin poetry, conspiracy diagrams, etc… The Mee-Plus SlimPad Mini might just be your Holy Grail. This isn’t some limp, mass-market card sleeve for accountants and conference attendees. It’s a hybrid beast that is part wallet, part binder and engineered with just enough beautiful madness to actually make sense.
The layout? Brilliantly deranged. Crack open those Krause rings and you’re in control of your own modular universe. Need to carry a fat stack of plastic? Load it up with as many card holders as you need. Folded bills, receipts from questionable truck stops, weird sketches you swear were important at the time? No problem. Want fewer cards and more room for ink-fueled rambling? Stuff it full of pages until it bulges. And yeah—Mee-Plus makes pen holders too, so you’re never caught without your weapon of choice.
As a travel wallet, this thing is damn near perfect. Passport fits (with a little noble overhang), boarding passes tuck in clean once folded, and every chaotic scrap of your globe-trotting paper trail has a place. It’s like carrying a well-organized explosion of your personality.
Materials? Top shelf. The leather is rich, thick, and smells like it belongs in the glovebox of an old Jaguar. The Krause rings – industrial-grade German engineering – click open with a kind of confidence that says, “We’ve survived worse.”
The downside? Weight. If you’re an ultra-slim wallet purist, you’ll notice it. Not in size—this thing’s shockingly compact—but in density. It’s there. You feel it. Like a flask, or a loaded snub-nose. But if you’re already the kind of person who carries a notebook on the daily, this isn’t a con, it’s a calling. You are the target. This was made for you.
Bottom line: The Mee-Plus SlimPad Mini isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for thinkers, travelers, sketchers, and the quietly obsessive. Built for the long haul. Priced for the unapologetic. And just eccentric enough to be exactly right.
I’ve carried mine for a month now. Haven’t used the notepad section all that much (I’ve got other Mee-Plus binders for that), but I’m blown away by how damn functional and adaptable this little bastard is.
Highly recommended.
