Background
In July 2023, I was looking for a cheap clear holder to store my A4-size documents. As such, I decided to go to Daiso to look for one.
At Daiso, I walked toward the stationary section and saw various clear holders. I spotted the Daiso Clear Book A4 Thin Type 40 Pockets White It is thin, has 40 pockets, and costs only 2.16 SGD. After much thought, I decided to purchase it.
The Stuff
The Daiso Clear Book A4 Thin Type 40 Pockets White packaging states that the total thickness with 40 pockets and the front back cover is only 8mm thick. Upon opening, there are indeed 40 pockets. The pockets are very thin, which makes it possible for the 8mm thickness.
Here are some pictures that I have taken to show what the stuff looks like:

Usage and Experience
I have been using the Daiso Clear Book A4 Thin Type 40 Pockets White for almost a week since this post. As the pockets are thin, they can be crumpled very easily if not handled properly. Slotting paper is also not easy with such thin pockets.
Slotting 2 papers into a pocket is not an issue, as I would want to be able to see my documents on both sides of a pocket.
The pockets have a texture that allows flipping, like flipping pages on a book easily.
