I have an A4 briefcase with no handles (basically a file folder) that I use as a sort of GM screen. If there is an information that I would like to hide from my players the file folder is closed. It has 2 basic notebooks with some random handwritten notes in it (like dwarven names, tavern menus...

Came here to say the same thing. And Ptolus.
