Good quality, does its job.
The version that comes with the Mini Reporter leaves sticky residue on the pen that is really hard to clean off (tried it with a Pentel Kerry). Luckily this isn't an item you really need with the Mini Reporter if you have the lifter with elastic band.
If you do end up with sticky residue on a pen, try tesa® Professional Adhesive Remover, worked quite well for the Pentel Kerry.
It functions well for what it is! I’ve stuck mine to my Strap&Ring, and so far it’s holding strong. I use a pocket/mini sized fountain pen (Franklin Christoph) and it holds it snugly in place. In my first 1-2 uses, I noticed a little bit of glue residue left on my pen which I rubbed off. Since then, I’ve had no issues although I am mindful to be gentle when placing my pen since am aware over time, the adhesive can come loose. I got the 2-pack, so even if that happens I have a spare!
I am using a Fischer space pen with this loop. I find it a bit too loose to use without the pen-clip and a bit to thick (thickness of the fabric not the loop geometry) to easily use with the clip. if this loop were attached to the notebook with more than adhesive I dont think it would be an issue but I am noticing the adhesive pad is sliding every now and then due to how hard I have to insert the pen. This is all minor and otherwise I am enjoying the notebook.
All in all, I think the elastic band is too thick; the point of failure will always be the adhesive and the thickness of the band seems to be accelerating it with doubtful increases in durability of the band.
