Tech-Friendly Folios

The Mod by This is Ground Holds Tablets, Styluses and More

— June 14, 2014 — Art & Design
Folios of the past were good for toting around pads and pens, yet The Mod by This is Ground, a studio founded by Mike Macadaan, makes these traditional organizers much more tech-friendly. Keeping in mind the needs and wants of modern society, it features slots and straps for tablets, earphones, cords, cards, styluses and more.

Doing away with the classic three-ring design, The Mod by This is Ground boasts a seamless three-magnet spine that can hold different individual leather inserts. The customizable case is minimal and unisex, making it a perfect option for just about anyone. Macadaan says, "I’ve been testing the Mod for a few months and I’m finding that it fills the gap between a slim wallet and a backpack. Feedback from women is that it is replacing their handbag as the Mod stows all their daily items."
