BAM! When I picked the box up, I could tell from the weight that it was going to be a substantial accessory. And when I opened it, the box it came in was made better than a couple of the padfolios I had in the past. Just the presentation here is awesome. As for the padfolio itself, the Nero Manetti Zippered Business Portfolio, I believe, is the BEST one out there at this price-point, and many higher priced ones. You can just tell that this company cares about the product that they are putting out there.

After years of using the same portfolio I started looking for a replacement and I'm glad I did. I purchased this Nero Manetti portfolio based on the features available and the look of attention to detail. This unit has all of the compartments that I need for day to day business activities, can carry my iPad Pro and iPhone 7s Plus, an assortment of business cards, paperwork, and includes a notepad. The quality is excellent and the fact that I can zipper this shut keeps everything in place in a neat and orderly manner. Add the fact that it looks just as professional as portfolios that cost 3-4 times as much and you can understand why I'm very pleased with this purchase.

"When I opened the amazon box and pulled out the NERO MANETTI box I thought the presentation alone was amazing... and that was just the box. Once I opened the box and picked up the folder it became apparent that this wasn’t some cheap folder. It’s soft leather but doesn’t feel thin so you don’t have to worry about tearing it. It’s firm and still has enough flexibility that if you bend a corner it’s not going to leave an indentation. To say I was pleased with it would be an understatement and at this point I hadn’t even opened it yet. Upon opening the folder for the first time I saw the content it came with the note pad, cardholder, and phone cardholder and how the layout of the folder was beautifully designed. They really put a lot into this and you can tell from when you open the amazon box. The look of it is amazing and I always get compliments on it. I couldn’t be happier with this and I would recommend this to anyone it’s worth more then the 40 dollars I spent."

"This is a special item. It’s clearly manufactured by some people who are both sharp and conscientious, and definitely know what they’re doing. The folio comes packaged in a very nice black box. These people understand the art of making a good impression, which is what their product is all about: making an impression in the professional world. The folio itself is very well made, with attention to detail. The faux leather is high quality and padded so it feels very nice to hold. The seams are strong and perfect. I’m quite impressed, which is pretty hard to do. I’m very happy overall! Glad I found it. "

"Do not pass this item by. It comes beautifully packaged in a lovely gift quality box. The portfolio is high quality, has all the bells and whistles I was looking for. I can stash my iPad mini in the padded slot,, have room for business cards and an front opening that I can add any documents I want close at had without unzipping. Additional to the note pad I can also put a nice calendar inside comfortably. Looks expensive but it is not – you will not be disappointed with this purchase!"

"The price is great for the quality of the product received. At only about $15 more than the cheap ones and about $50 less than the expensive ones, it really is worth that extra few dollars. I don't think most people would be able to see a difference from the expensive ones sitting side by side to this. It adds a sense of elegance when I am sitting in a meeting with the Nero Manetti instead of showing up with a folder and notepad. Also I love having business cards right there to hand out. Great item and I was very pleased with the presentation when opening the box. It comes in a nice elegant black box which really helps protect the item in shipping. If and when I need a new one I'll definately be a repeat customer. This product hits a homerun in my opinion!."

"I bought these as gifts for our senior management team and really didn’t know what to expect. The day they arrived (which by the way, came faster than expected!) I opened it and was so shocked to see how beautiful it was! For the price that I paid It far exceeded my wildest expectations! This folio has everything covered but I picked this one in particular because it could hold your cell phone! For us, that is a giant plus! Also, as a woman I wanted something that I could use without having to carry a purse and this was perfect! It carries my phone, credit cards, pens, a note pad as well as enough pocket space for multiple handouts! I even slipped in a small mirror for those quick checkups! And did I mention the leather? It is absolutely gorgeous, not thin or wrinkly but soft and supple yet very sturdy. It made for amazing gifts that are truly appreciated! How do I know? Because they are being enjoyed on a daily basis and I get frequent comments about them! You won’t be sorry!"

"I decided it was time to retire my 20 year-old Samsonite padfolio since it was starting to show its age. I searched several retailers for something both handsome and functional but to no avail. I found the Nero Manetti padfolio on Amazon and decided to purchase it after checking out the features and reading the many stellar reviews it received. The padfolio is very well designed and offers all of the pockets and storage compartments one could possibly need. The business card wallet and stick-on business card holder were a nice addition to the purchase (yes, they were included in the price). This item is above my expectations and it looks like those expensive ones you get for $100. Very happy! Thank you. "

"I bought this notebook more than two months ago and I couldn't be more happy with it. It’s perfect! I used many other brands but this one is the best. It has thick papers which will make it perfect for writing with any kind of ink as ink wouldn't penetrate to the back of the paper. It really is sturdy. And because of its great design, you are able to write even in the middle pages of the notebook without any difficulty and it wouln't tear up. It is simple and classy. I really like it and would definitely buy it again. "

"I spent forever on Amazon trying to find a folio to accommodate a spiral notebook. I found a few cheaper options, but this one is hands down the best. It's sleek and professional looking, fits both notebooks and notepads and the pocket on the left is even big enough to hold a folder."

"It is difficult to find a portfolio that is professional looking, good quality, and serves the practical needs. Well, I have found one thanks to Nero Manetti! I like this portfolio for all the above, but the size of it makes the difference. It is not bulky, the room for two (Mont Blanc) pens without a tight fit that damages them, and a pad which properly fits with room shows the attention to detail. I will be ordering more as gifts for professional friends. Pricing is just right, too!"
