Yes, the back of the notepad is inserted into the smartpad. It is stable enough for writing. I use the clips because I want to make sure that there's no way it can move while I'm drawing. For writing purposes, it will work fine without the clips. Even if the paper moves a bit while writing, handwriting will still look alright. But when drawing, I need to make sure the lines are where I want them to be perfectly so I use the clips.
