Presenting the Unclipped Clipboard. According to our Co-Founder Steve Leveen, “A pad without a Pad Backer is like ice cream without the cone.” Many of our customers prefer to take notes on legal pads, but the pads can be a bit bendy, forcing you to find a desk or struggle to keep them flat in your lap. Solution: The Levenger Pad Backer—back by customer request, and now even better. The super smooth writing platform is a mere 1/4" inch thick yet surprisingly firm, giving your hand, and handwriting, a platform for greatness (or at least legibility). Once you’ve tried a Pad Backer, you may never use a naked pad again. We include a premium Freeleaf® Notepad.
