Latest Updates from Our Project:

New Tablet Folio - The TopoFolio Kickstarter Launch is Today!!
about 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 16, 2021 at 05:53:05 PM

Wow, it has been a while since I have last updated you! You helped me launch my small company several years ago by supporting my campaign and so first I want to say thank you.! I still think about this project and hope you still enjoy using the folio.


I am writing an update here because I have developed a new hybrid folio/tablet case that I think you may be interested in.  It is being made here in the US from recycled plastic bottle fabric and is made to help take your tablet anywhere.  It is called the TopoFolio and is launching on Kickstarter today!

TopoFolio Black Version
Crosshatch Grey Edition

The case comes with a modular magnetic system to help keep everything organized and also comes with a waterproof sleeve.  I have put everything into this and hope you'll check out my new project!


Cheers,

Mike

Introducing The Modern Ledger
over 6 years ago – Tue, Feb 06, 2018 at 09:32:34 AM

Hello there!

As I mentioned last week, we have created a notebook built just for accountants and it is live on Kickstarter!

The Modern Ledger
The Modern Ledger

This is the first-ever Kickstarter project made just for accountants and is designed to help with the stress of busy season!

If you are not an accountant, please send this project link to someone you know, as this is the busiest time of the year and they need your help.

There are a limited number of early-bird discounts available so if you act today you can reserve the special pricing, even if you decide to change your mind later.

Using a notebook helps to take the stress off your shoulders, and put it down on paper beside you.  This action can help to show you everything you need to do and help prioritize it even as new things come in during the day.  

Please check out the project HERE, and I hope you have a great day!!

Regards,

Mike

New Folio Product Announcement!
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 07:11:31 PM

Hello Backer Friend!

I hope the year is treating you well so far!

I am writing to let you know I have created a new product to help those of us that like using a typical size tablet such as the iPad 9.7in or the new iPad Pro 10.5in, alongside traditional writing tools like a notebook. The new folio I am talking about is called, The Builder.

Available in a new color, Blueprint Blue, as well as Crosshatch Grey and Matte Black.

Thanks to your help launching my company here on Kickstarter, and after receiving all your feedback on the first folio, I have redesigned this folio to include more options.

I also made a short film about the new design as well as the story behind the blue color choice.

    

To help manufacture these folios I am hosting a small crowdfunding campaign at my site OriginalContentBooks.com.  Once 100 orders come in (at the discounted price) we will begin manufacturing.

While Kickstarter is good to help raise funding for projects like this, it adds considerable time to complete the building phase.  I want to bring these folios to you very quickly and I would also only like to make them if people like you actually want them!  

Thank you for your support!

Mike

Thank You!

Hello again!

I want to quickly send out one last big THANK YOU for your help supporting my new company! All the rewards have been mailed off so thank you for your patience while I got the folios corrected.  I hope you are happy with them and if you have any feedback on how to make the folios and notebooks better I would love to hear from you!

Last batch of packages going out!

Looking back at the project, it was great to see how everyone helped shape the overall design of the notebooks including the colors and the new Dot Grid / Lined layout. I couldn't have done this without you.
