Does it work with Android phones?

This is not for me, but I’d like to see a few more companies doing design object collaborations with Apple, and more from Miyake with other companies. They recently launched one with Moleskine that I liked.
I really hate carrying stuff in my pockets which is why I use a bag for my everyday carry. No silly-sock required.
Radical, I know

That looks very interesting. Is it refillable? I would not want to spend $45 every time I needed a new notebook.
It doesn’t look like they sell refills—that’d be nice.
That is too bad. No way I’m spending $45/notebook.

Good news — you can be free of the convenience of keeping your iPhone in your pants.
A man wrote that. He has clearly never had to deal with lady pockets.
The Miyake Design Studio iPhone Pocket isn’t flamboyant enough for my tastes (and yes, that’s an odd thing to say about something born in Miyake’s atelier), but yes, I would like something sleek, stylish and body-hugging to hold my phone.

OT question. I found my old business card wallet a few weeks ago, which contains around 75, 20th century, cards.
I was given a box when I accept a new job in mid 2000, and tossed them out when I retired. Are business cards still widely used?
I’m not sure how widely they are used, but I still carry a few with me when attending conferences. Otherwise, I simply ask people to email me their contact information, and vice versa. However, even in this case, you have to stand there while someone types in or writes down your email address. A business card is much easier and faster in networking situations.

When I graduated from high school in 1967, everybody fell for buying a box of personal calling cards. Never used any of them nor did I know of anybody who did! These were the cards you placed on the butler’s silver salver to announce your presence. Unfortunately I didn’t know anyone with a butler.
The business cards were useful to give each one to my parents to show how successful I was. 
I’ve seen business cards with QR codes on them – the recipient can just scan the QR code and toss the physical card.

That’s a good idea; I had not thought about that.
I created a QR code for my wife’s business card years ago and laminated it. Had forgotten all about it until I saw her pull it out the other day at a conference to share her details.
Apparently,she’s been using it all these years, with great success. That was fun.

Not that I’m aware of, and as less and less people meet face to face as often with first contact of people working for different organisations more likely to be online, there’s less and less need for them.
The only reason I have anyone at work’s mobile phone number, is to contact them outside of work. All of our contact happens via Teams Message, audio, or video calls. This is far better for me, as I don’t have random people phoning me when I’m off assuming I’m working.
10 years into my previous job, I would still get the occasional phone call about the previous business (the one I left in 2005) on my personal mobile phone.

I had several jobs where I received a box of business cards. Other than as bookmarks I don’t recall any other uses.
I recently retired and was gifted with a set of these, in an nice shiny holder:
Currently using one as a bookmark …
