    hey clutchfans,

    Kinda need help looking for an item i could put in my office.

    I went to office depot and they dont seem to have it or know about it. Looked through amazon too.

    What im looking for is a rolodex type item but instead of business cards, it would be for regular sized 8x11 paper. Something that would be on a stand and a binder combination with the paper inside and i could just flip through the 3 holed punch paper with ease.

    Thanks guys

    Have you seen this item before, or are you asking if they exist?

    Never heard of such a thing. Wouldn't a binder with tabbed pages work?

    Don't listen to the naysayers.

    I could see talent agents wanting such a thing, so they can roll/flip through 8x10 glossies of their talent. At least before the invention of iPads and Instagram. Keep looking, bro.

    Yes, it's called a 3-ring binder.

    Buy a hole punch and some giant rings. Then patent it. You'll be rich.

    It sounds like you want a binder with no covers, and a spine that is thinner than the rings' diameter. I think something like this would either need to be bolted down or have a wide platform/base to avoid tipping over. I think libraries used to bind their dictionaries or attach them to some structure so they wouldn't be taken.

    Hey OP, I scoured all over the web and Officedepot.com and found nothing similar to this. Maybe hire some developers or rent a 3D printer and create one yourself. You can then take your product to Shark Tank and end up making at least 50K from your invention. If you are asking this question on a public forum, there are at least 10 other people silently languishing in pain and frustration about not having this item. Good luck and if you need advice on patent lawyers send me a PM.
