Bellroy Pencil Case (Zipper Closure, Slim Pen Case, Durable Woven Fabric, Holds Pens, Pencils, Cables & Personal Items) (Bronze)

This might be the Holy Grail of pencil cases for people who don't carry 93 felt tip pens, 16 highlighters and 42 rolls of washi tape around with them. It's a super little case with a very smart design; open the zip fully and the top edges fold down to form a soft tray with sides that are high enough to still keep everything inside it -- and it holds a fair bit! I've got a fountain pen, a retractable ballpoint, two mechanical pencils, a gel pen, a couple of Microns, a small set of Post-it sticky tabs, a 6" steel rule and a few paperclips & rubber bands in mine and there's easily room for at least triple that amount again. I opted for the fabric variation because I like the idea of the case becoming much softer with use and I didn't think the leather one would be as likely to do that. I'm very pleased with my decision and I've now got an attractive way of keeping my pens and pencils tidy on my desk, while also keeping sticky tabs, rubber bands and paper clips all in one place -- all ready to zip up and go to a meeting without having to keep a duplicate of my "must haves" in my bag, too.The zip appears quite heavy duty and is double-stitched to the body of the case -- as at day one, it's a little bit "bitey" but I expect that'll smooth out with use. The stitching on the body itself is even and the case looks generally very well made. The interior is lined with a thin layer of smooth fabric which is fused to the body, rather than stitched, but it seems to be very well bonded.I highly recommend this case. I'm tempted to order another ten, in case it ever becomes hard to find a new one should I need it.

Even better in real life, which is rarely the case buying online.The grey is as photographed. The packaging brilliant especially that I had bought it as a present (I’m definitely going to buy another for myself).It’s the perfect size, great for men and women.Considering a couple of reviews, I was worried about quality. I’m pleased to say the item is well made.I highly recommend it. If you’re planning to put more in there, like cables and a spare battery then go for the next size up.

Got this for a business trip, and now I don't have to rummage in the bottom of my bag. Holds pens, USB stick, earphones, small adaptors, even an electric trimmer, and folds out to make everything accessible. Robust and really well designed. One of life's small pleasures if you are on the move.

quality product that’s surprisingly carnivorous for its size but does seem rather expensive for its basic functions

This is a lovely thing and should last forever but it’s undeniably expensive for what it is.

This is a perfectly competent, rather plastically feeling pencil case. It works. The quality of manufacture is fine. It feels like it cost Belroy a couple of pounds to have made in China. Not value for money at the asking price IMO

The quality of the material was excellent and it has a durable but light feel to it. It’s very spacious when it’s opened out and looks perfect on the desk.

Lovely size holds all my stuff, feels durable. Would recommend.
