ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a new customizable folio system that is useful for presenting selectable optical characteristics to one face of a folio cover. The selectable optical characteristics are presented at one face of the folio cover as the result of selective replacement of insert sheet(s) that are placed into a pocket formed between the outer folio cover sheet and an inner backing sheet. Either the outer front face of the folio cover, or the inner backing sheet has at least one cutout section(s) therein, of any desired shape or design, through which selective part(s) of the insert sheet(s) can be viewed. The insert sheet(s) have optical characteristic(s) that are different from those of either the outer front face of the folio cover or the inner backing sheet, at least in those areas of the insert sheet that can be seen through the cutout section(s). The different optical characteristics may include color and/or texture, as well as printing and/or designs that are added to the insert sheet(s) by the folio user, using any suitable imaging method. The different optical characteristics may further include textual, pictorial, and/or graphic material attached to the insert sheet(s) by the folio user.
