I'm looking for elastic cord to hold notebooks in a Midori cover. How would the 1/8" be?

they have excellent cordage and shock cord, should work fine for the application

Very good for that. Not recommended for heavy items but something like that-great

The groove that holds my tablet is about 1/4" but there is space behind it totaling about 7/16ths" - not sure it'd work, but if it's a notebook why would you need a stand?

It is 1/8" too long. However, you could probably squeeze it in because the covers are soft-ish. Nice ledger for this price.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered. It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord.

Not sure about your model, sorry, but this cord only lasted me 6 weeks. I have another lenovo model which it was suppose to fit, but it fit very loosely. My young son accidentally tripped over it and it broke it within somewhere, never worked again. One thing I didn't like about it though is it's a very short cord, much shorter than the one that came with my computer. Won't buy that one again.

I don't know the exact mm of the cord but it is no thicker than a number two pensile

Guitar cords are size 1/4th", Ipads and smartphones accept a 1/8th". So no unless you have the IRig like that person said above.

I think a 1" will work in it. It does not make the double fold bias tape but will sew it onto your project in one easy step.

I have a 10.1" tablet and it is a tight fit, so it may very easily fit you 8.9. There was a smaller version at Best Buy but it was much smaller so I do think this one would fit you 8.9 and not stretch the 4 elastic holders as much as it does for mine. It is a wonderful and beautiful cover. I am very proud to carry my tablet. Looks just like a book.

It would fit. I doesn't work well for thick cords like a power cords. We had to file the opening to get it to fit.

It's probably thinner than 1/8" but I haven't had any problems with it. Haven't put a Funk & Wagnall's dictionary on it, but for normal hardbacks ...it seems to work fine!

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Laura. This string is very strong, but it is nowhere near 1/8 inch thick. More like 1/32" thick! To get that type of thickness, you are going to have to go to shock cord, or parachute cord. I deal with cording and string all of the time, and I have yet to find any cotton, hemp, or nylon string in that thickness! Here is a link to 1/8 inch string, or cord, here on Amazon.

I tested it with a pb the size of a crossword book while sitting in a chair and it worked fine. I had to pull the cord tight so the piece of plexiglass would hold the book open tightly and I could write on it in pencil with no problem--it did not tip over. Glad to help!

I would say no. Especially if the cord is thick like most computer cables are. You might get the plug to fit but then you won't be able to get the cover over if the cable is big. It's ok for laptop cords, lamp cords, and I have one on my sewing machine. But if the cable/cord is even slightly bigger then it won't fit in the tiny hole at the bottom that is has too to snap the cover on.

Fairly elastic material. They are not madefor 17 inch, and you can tell one the laptop is inside. But these people want te sell thses so ad says 17", but you are right, it is not perfect fit.

Biggest I go with is 3/32" cable and sleeves so not sure about 1/8". I don't think so, though. It's nice and portable for what we do. Next step up you're going with the big swagers. This fits in a belt or bucket.
