The Officemate Portable Clipboard is a charcoal-colored storage case designed for those who need to keep their A4 or letter-sized documents protected while on the move. It is made from injection-molded polypropylene, a material known for being lightweight and resistant to many household cleaners. With an internal depth of 1.5 inches, it can hold approximately 150 sheets of paper along with small items like pens or a ruler.
Usability & Practical Features
The low-profile design allows this case to fit easily into a backpack or a locker without taking up much room. The charcoal pigment is helpful for busy homes or offices as it tends to mask surface scratches and scuffs better than clear or brightly colored plastic. The external spring-loaded clip is the strongest part of the assembly, providing high tension to keep your current page securely in place while you write.
Because the unit uses an integrated "living hinge"—where the plastic itself acts as the joint—it is best suited for standard indoor use. In extremely cold temperatures, the plastic can become more brittle, and very high-frequency opening and closing will eventually wear the hinge and the friction-based latch. It is designed to be a compact, affordable solution for organizing personal paperwork or school assignments.
- Fits standard letter and A4 paper sizes comfortably.
- Slim form factor makes it a good choice for travel or commuting.
- The high-tension clip is riveted for better long-term performance. }
If you need a more permanent storage solution for the job site that can withstand drops on concrete, the Flambeau Contractor Clipboard features thicker walls and a metal-axle hinge.
