Review on Genuine Leather Pencil/Marker Storage Case - Speedball Art Products For Art Supplies by Anna Lang

First, the photo that accompanies the 48-pencil Speedball Case information clearly says "Global", which I thought I was buying. I am, in the end, very happy with this case.The materials and construction of the Speedball case are almost identical to my 2 Global cases, down to the zippers and snaps (I have sewn for years, and I look closely at construction details). The elastic bands are stitched at intervals to hold 4 pencils (8 mm diameter) snugly in each section (Global cases are spaced to hold 3 per section). Both branded cases securely hold my Luminance, Polychromos, and Derwent Lightfast pencils.My only (easily resolved) disappointment when it arrived was that the leather didn't seem to have any protective finish. I applied a leather cleaner-conditioner very liberally, and buffed first with a clean cloth, then with my hands. Leather now looks and feels great. Now, I consider it a 5-Star product.
