Review of Quo Vadis Elastic Bookmark

[GouletPens]

A relatively new product on the market, the Quo Vadis Elastic Bookmark is a handy little tool that can improve the portability of any book or journal you have. For anything that doesn’t have a page marker or elastic strap, this elastic bookmark can fix both of those problems.

 

The elastic bookmark is pretty simple; a 4.5″ piece of plastic (with a ruler on it!!) with a stretchy elastic loop attached to it. You stick the ruler in the book, stretch the loop around the book, and you’re all set to achieve your wildest dreams (with a securely marked book page!!). You can use it on any book or journal from 5″ to 12″ tall. For $1.50, it’s a pretty convenient little product!

I love your comments, they made me laugh. They should had consulted someone regarding the colors... Great video & love the shirt!

Hey Brian,

if they end up making it with a pink elastic, will you be wearing a pink shirt to match?

I rather hope they stick to the tan, then ...

 

great review, love the music intro too, thanks

I would if I could find pink flannel in an XLT size, haha! Maybe I'd just wear a nice shirt with a pink tie....which I do own, thank you very much.

Incidentally, it's similar in general principle to the Levenger Book Bungee.

 

My experience with the Book Bungee is that the strap is kinda short and pretty strong elastic, and I might feel some qualms about putting it on trade paperbacks, even though Levenger insists it's for hardcovers and paperbacks both.

 

The bungee also comes in several colors.

The Quo Vadis elastic bookmark is strong, but very easy on the books. I'd feel confident putting this on any paperback book.

I have one, thanks to Brian, and it works great. The color choice seems pretty deliberate. Though not colorful by itself, it probably doesn't clash with the many colors. It certainly won't take anything away from the color of the journal to which it's affixed. I remember Chevy did the same thing with their trucks...it didn't matter what color interior you bought, the roof's upholstery was light tan. Cost savings.

I can see that....but why not just make it black then? Black matches anything!!!
