I'm deciding between this planner and the same size, wirebound version. Does this hardback version lay flat on a desk, as the wirebound would?

Yes...it lays flat! But it's not hardback or hardcover...it's a cardstock covered calendar tucked inside a durable, thin, vinyl protective cover. I live by them because there are small and flexible...no spiral wire to accidentally flatten or rip pages out of. I have saved my calendars all the way back to 1997 in one gallon-size, zip-lock bag! Hope this info helps! -Hym

Yes, this planner is thin enough for me to keep in my handbag and it does lay flat. It has plenty of space for appointment making and again nice and sleek.

This planner lies flat, is thinner and more compact for a purse if space is a consideration---it is does not have a hardback. The wirebound would be better for desk top use or a larger purse---easier to flip pages with this type of spiral back.

No, it will not open flat as a wirebound version would, but it is not really hardback either. The planner itself is paperback but it is slipped into a removeable stiff plastic cover.

Yes, it is one of the reasons I use these notebooks. As long as you get the bigger sizes (not the pocket) they lay flat.

Yes, it does lay flat for the most part aside from the curve around the spine of the binder. You won't have to hold it open, though. And there is no zipper.

Yes it will lay flat, however, you need to insert note paper and any course books you are studying. Neat, compact with pencils and pens for highlighting importatt stuff.

the curved spine of the binder is approximately 1/2 inch in height, so the binder will not lay perfectly flat, but on a flat surface (table, podium) both opposing pages, which will be about 2 inches apart at the center, will lay substantially flat.

No, it's a much larger planner. I would not put it in my purse unless you carry a large bag.

I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback. We didn't try that on the stand. It is very stable and holds a large, heavier hardback extremely well. Tipping over is not a problem at all, and the small plastic "stops" along the bottom hold the book in place well, yet it is easy to turn pages. My sister, who has Parkinson's, and is confined to a wheel chair, can use the stand very easily. I think the stand would be steady enough and not tip over, no matter what weight of book is used with it, even a paperback. But I'll have to look at it again to see if it makes a difference that the paperback is a smaller book. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm sorry that I can't tell you about a paperback.

I think this planner is wound pretty tightly, it seems very sturdy and though my daughter covered the covers, both back and front with her own collage design, it feels up to the task

it depends on the size of the book. the oversize one will have to lie flat.

Yes it stays open and will lay flat. I have one on my desk where it has been sense the day I bought it. No "break in" period either.

Yes. The planner is a weekly view. Two pages to a week. There are 12 monthly grids at the beginning, followed by the weekly grids. The format alternates every other month. Easy to write in.

Hello -- the art portfolio is bound, not rings, so the number and order of pages is set. The landscape orientation makes this a unique product, and it does lay nearly flat -- does not tend to close up at all. Hope this helps -- PG

The binder is a very heavy duty paper product. It may be laminated but it is not shiny.I have had it since January and it is still in very good condition. This is a great planner.The edging holding the pages is plastic coils.
