Stationery Review 197 - Sheaffer Pen Folio - 60 Pens Case

Hi Friends,

I bought this Sheaffer Pen Folio from the Facebook Marketplace from a historical user of fountain pens who passed away during COVID. His daughter sold the same to me, and I got it to keep my pens. It can hold 60 pens, which at the time when I bought it, I didn't have that many, but now I have many more than that. Check it out. Though I don't have Sheaffer's new range of fountain pens, let's see in the future.

Sheaffer has a lot of writing instruments in its profile. I have got some of the older models in my kitty that I will showcase soon.

This is what is mentioned on the website of Esterbrook. I am using it to hold my pages of journals instead. It may keep the books as intended, but I mostly read books on my Kindle or listen to audiobooks. You can buy it locally in South Africa from Applebee Pens

The World's First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better? #HuaweiMateXT

Hi Guys, 

Three Screens, Infinite Possibilities: Why the HUAWEI Mate XT Is a Game Changer

Smartphone, Tablet, Work Hub—All in One: The Tri-Fold Revolution of the HUAWEI Mate XT

A single smartphone screen no longer meets the demands of our digital lives. With mobile and remote work now the norm, juggling multiple devices isn’t always practical. Enter the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN—the world’s first tri-fold smartphone—shattering barriers in foldable technology and redefining the screen experience. More than just a breakthrough in design, it’s one of the most significant foldable releases of the decade. With three screens seamlessly integrated into one device, it expands the boundaries of multitasking and smartphone interaction like never before.

Here’s how you can get the most out of its tri-fold display.

Triples Visual Immersion
It's obvious why the HUAWEI Mate XT is special. Unfold it, and your smartphone transforms into a full-sized tablet. It allows you to carry a large-screen immersive display right in your pocket. With three times the screen real estate and the world’s first 3K Hi-Res HUAWEI X-True Display on the HUAWEI Mate XT | ULTIMATE DESIGN, you can enjoy every visual detail of a game, graphic novel, or movie on a larger display anytime and anywhere.

The best part is that the smartphone’s slim-thin build makes it convenient and comfortable to hold while you’re on the move. At the time of its release, the HUAWEI Mate XT notched up the accolades of the thinnest foldable and the largest commercially available foldable smartphone on the market, at just 3.6 mm thin and 10.2 inches wide when unfolded.

Master the Task with More Display Modes
Working on the move can feel chaotic, especially if you’re bouncing between apps and splitting your focus between different apps. With HUAWEI Mate XT, the split screen experience allows you to accomplish more instantly. Need to jot down notes while reading a book? Split-screen mode lets you run both apps side by side, with no toggling required.

The World's First Tri-Fold Smartphone Is as Vast as a Tablet: But Does Bigger Actually Mean Better?

For a wider display configuration, users can activate triple-screen mode to get three views of three different apps. This is ideal when working on complex tasks that often require multiple apps to accomplish. For example, you’ve got an airline app open on one screen, a browser for research on another, and a video call with friends on the third to hash out your travel details. Or maybe you’re creating social media content, with the Mate XT, you can edit a video, browse for inspiration, and draft a caption all at once. Having the ability to have three apps running simultaneously makes complex tasks feel effortless.

More Screens, More Flexibility
Thanks to its Advanced Precision Hinge System, HUAWEI Mate XT’s trifold display is also the first in the industry to achieve inward and outward folding. This means you can use your smartphone as an extended display and transform it into a real-life tool. Flip it outward, and the second screen becomes a built-in stand perfect for watching shows hands-free while you eat lunch. Or fold it into a mini tripod for your camera, with one side acting as a viewfinder and the other handling the controls. It’s clever, practical, and feels like a natural extension of the device.

Huawei is offering a premium service package for HUAWEI Mate XT customers, including a full year of HUAWEI Care+ with single-incident screen damage protection, four complimentary screen protector replacements, and free door-to-door and postal service. (T's&C's apply).

The HUAWEI Mate XT ushers in a new era of multitasking smartphones, achieving what once seemed impossible—a device that is lightweight, powerful, and expansive. Multiple display configurations offer a more versatile experience, freeing users from the limitations of a single small screen and redefining how we work, play, and stay connected.
