Unboxing the GTD tools® Men's Leather NoteTaker Wallet

I just received my GTD tools® Men's Leather NoteTaker Wallet in the email this evening.

I ordered it from a company called AT-A-GLANCE. The wallet looks just the same as the David Allen Notetaker Wallet except that it's 4 times cheaper.

It comes with 6 pads of refill.

It says "SPACE" on the clip:

Unboxing Fisher Space Pens - Part I (clip)

I love my Fisher Space Bullet Pen and I carry it in my back pocket wherever I go. However, I always have trouble keeping it "stationary" on any flat surface. When I put it on my desk, it just rolls away. (I actually lost my first Bullet because of that!) So, I decided to buy a clip for it. Here are some pictures:
