> 3 dayThis is a very well built pencil case with a lot of great options. Im giving it 4 stars for 2 reasons: while you have a lot of great options, in a way it still limits you (that may seem like an odd statement unless youre actually holding one in front of you). You cant use highlighters or markers of any kind that are fatter than the average pen. If you put non-mechanical pencils in the front sections, theres no pocket or stop of any kind so they can easily slide through. And can we talk about the instructions in Japanese?! So, that part is a complete loss for me. If there were ideas posted of the different ways that they sections could be used, that would be awesome and very helpful. Can some owners post short videos on how they used it? That would be great! Right now, Im doing a bit of trial and error (mostly error). I think that no matter what size you get, this is worthy every penny and can last a long time. I wish I saw this years ago because Ive wasted so much money trying to find a case like this to meet all my needs. Im sure it will take me through Grad School and beyond.

> 3 dayI havent actually used this yet, because I realized that I probably dont need to bring a bunch of pens with me to my classes, but I already put in some of my pens/highlighters/erasers/etc. to test out the capacity, and it can fit quite a lot! I love LIHIT Lab products, and I also have their SmartFit blue S case, and thats why I wanted to go for this one too. The color is a really nice bright orange, and its like a nice accent color. The quality of the case is kind of like canvas-y nylon, and it feels really durable. The inside is just brown, as pictured. Overall, I really like this case, but personally I dont think I (and hope I wont need to) use this on a daily basis! I feel like it could be a good deal for people who want the 100-pen kipling case thing, because the price is ~1/3 of that ones, and you can still fit a pretty decent range of pens and stationery in this one as well!

> 3 dayI have bought many styles of organizers for my watercolor painting supplies. This is by far my favorite one and I will be ordering another one. I’m trying to decide whether to go for another double one or upsize to a triple one. It’s so well designed and holds a ton of stuff. Very convenient when I want to do art sitting on the couch. All of my supplies convenient and easy to get to. The slots are bit enough that you dont have to struggle to get the pens and pencils in.

Greater than one weekI like to keep a lot of miscellaneous stuff in my pencil case, like a protractor and paper clips, which is why I opted for the biggest pencil case that I could find, but there just arent a lot of different pouches/straps/etc. for differently shaped objects here. May not be an issue for other people but I thought it would be good to know for anyone looking to buy it. Lots of straps for pens/pencils with clips though, so if you have a lot of those this is a good choice.

> 3 dayPurchased this for my younger sister to organize her school supplies and she absolutely loves it. Precursor: my sister is a little bit unorganized with her school supplies, aka she just stuffs it into one compartment of her backpack and digs in whenever she needs to find something. She asked me to get her one and I came upon this. The material is extra thick and super sturdy and can hold its shape even if there arent many items in it. What surprised me the most was the bags ability to store SO many items. No joke my sister has everything she needs in there and so much more. It is like the Marry Poppins pencil bag of pencil bags. Need a pair of scissors? No problem. Pens? Which one, Ive got 10. Glue Stick? Sure. This bag fits it all. Amazing. Where was this when I was in middle school? Now if they can just make a longer version so I can fit my Tombow Markers.

Greater than one weekI use this every day for school! I use it to store my pencils, erasers, and it even fits my 2TB External Hard drive. So far Ive had it for a couple of weeks and I honestly love it so much. Im still not really sure what I can use the front two pockets for because Im afraid stuff will fall out of it so I just put some extra bandaids in there just in case. I used to just throw my pencils in my backpack and lose them and this just makes my life so much easier. I cant explain how much I needed this because I never had a pencil holder in my life and wow I wish Ive gotten this a lot sooner.

> 3 dayReally REALLY great. Best pencil case Ive found and used in my last 7 years or so of arting. It can fit long pens, markers and pencils as well. No problem-o. When items such as pencil sharpeners as placed in the pockets on the backside of the flap, the flap bows which is unfortunate. I have been putting the sharpener just resting above my travel palette because it is the perfect size, but it does tumble out when I open the case which is not ideal. But this only discernible con thus far after 3 weeks of use. I love that I can see all of my pens and pencils without them thumbling about in a one large pocket. I can also fit a small palette for my gouache and 2 water-brushes next to it in the back pocket. I often find myself just opening it to survey the troops. They are poised and ready for action. Wonderful soldiers and friends. Update: After about a month of daily use (it goes everywhere with me), the fabric on the piped seams is fraying slightly and beginning to wear down on the corners...not great. This in addition to the floppy/bowed nature of the flap have caused me to down-grade my review to 4 stars.

> 3 dayIm quite impressed with this case. I bought it to hold all of the tools and office supplies that I need to keep in my tool kit in one place. For $12, this is an incredible value. Time will tell how well the fabric and zippers will hold up to what will probably be fairly heavy use, but the product seems fairly well constructed, so it will probably hold up well. I will edit this review if that does not end up being the case. This case has ample storage, for my needs. I keep a total of 16 assorted pens and markers in the two portions of the pouch dedicated for pens and markers (see photo 4). In the next section of the pencil case, I keep some post it notes and flags, as well as extra mechanical pencil lead and erasers (see photo 5, left side). In the fourth, final, final section, that is meant for storing larger objects, I keep the following: More post it notes, a pair of travel scissors, a small fixed blade knife, a utility/craft knife, and spare blades for the utility knife (see photo 5, right side, for a view of these objects in the case, and object 6 for a view of them out of the case). See photos 1-3 for photos of the exterior of the case with a ruler for scale. My one minor complaint about this case id that the middle flap on its hinge doesnt quite line up when closing the case. This isnt a huge deal and only adds the slightest amount of extra effort to close the case, but it is not something that I would even consider to be even a minor issue. Overall I love this case. It looks great, and is great value for money.

> 3 dayI ordered this pencil case after reading the glowing reviews. I expected a high quality product, and after receiving it Im still impressed. The material is high quality, and the construction of the case feels very sturdy. Im also impressed with just how much I can fit into this case. I stuffed it full of art pens, pencils, erasers, a pencil sharpener, hobby knives and blades, scissors, and I still could fit even more pens and pencils in it. It is well designed for maximizing the amount of things you can put in it and keeping them organized in a compact little space. This case is very efficient and if it holds up as well as it feels like it will, it is certainly well worth the money I paid for it. I doubt you could find a better case for a similar price, and I have doubts that youd be able to find a better case for even double the price. Judging by the quality of this product, I would definitely purchase more items made by Lihit Lab in the future.
