I'm looking for elastic cord to hold notebooks in a Midori cover. How would the 1/8" be?

they have excellent cordage and shock cord, should work fine for the application

Very good for that. Not recommended for heavy items but something like that-great

I used the1/4inch cord to repair mine and it worked fine. The original cord was thinner but was doubled over, for the repair I just used the thicker 1/4inch cord once.

I used it on 8 inch nextbook...same thing... one centimeter makes no difference... that's what they call 8 inch tablet anywaay

I tested it with a pb the size of a crossword book while sitting in a chair and it worked fine. I had to pull the cord tight so the piece of plexiglass would hold the book open tightly and I could write on it in pencil with no problem--it did not tip over. Glad to help!

The cords are tight elastic, with metal tips for insertion. The holders are clear and flexible plastic, possibly polyvinyl chloride. I still have mine from 2011, and it has not changed.

I don't think these will work for you they are more than a 1/4 thick on just one side. These are for a drawer that you want to pull all the way ouy.

These are just under 2 1/2 inches long, plus about another 2 inches of cord. The wide end (where the rubber tip is) is no bigger than pencil thickness.

I have not tried this, but I doubt it. Most 1/8" plugs need to be fully inserted, so unless your case is micro-thin, it might keep it out too far, or cause it to slip in and out.

Inside on my sample is 1/8. Even if yours is measured as outside diameter thread will go through with lots to spare.

From the looks of mine it looks like 1 1/2 inch. Well worth the money but laptop sleeve is to small for laptop. I use it for my tablet though.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered.

Easy to pick up from a hardware store. I think it's 3/8" but compare to a section of your existing cord when buying and check the WLL of the new cord.

I'm going to take a guess and call it 3/16ths. It's definitely bigger than 1/8", but I don't think it's 1/4", so split it. It's large enough that you can get a good pinch of clothes pin around fabric and it will hold. It's thin enough that the empty clip will hang upside down if the wire is in the groove.

Fairly elastic material. They are not madefor 17 inch, and you can tell one the laptop is inside. But these people want te sell thses so ad says 17", but you are right, it is not perfect fit.

It is strong enough, but I found the 3/8" too narrow to keep a good grip on it and it can burn your hands when they really pull. 1/2" works better for me.

i have a nextbook 8" and it would have fit if the latch was tighter, but it didn't because the elastic or whatever wasn't tight enough to hold it in place.
