The Note:Wallet would offer the user a more tactile experience that is still relatively insufficient in the world of tablets and smartphones. Many people prefer to use post-its and note pads to jot down reminders and things that come to mind, but electronic devices are not ideal for making quick chicken scratch or little sketches.
Garnet Bartlett's solution was to develop a compact pocketbook that would contain a writing utensil and a tiny notebook or a pad of sticky notes. The Bfofo Designs Inc. item would come in three sizes, with the smallest capable of accommodating five credit cards and bills folded twice. The ballpoint pen would be quite narrow to keep the Note:Wallet pocketable, featuring a broader fingertip grip that protrudes from the spine of the soft cover. The accessory is elegant and wonderfully practical.
