It really depends on what you're trying to organize in it.

My review reflects not so much my experience with it as a reflection of the product but rather its durability and strength for whoever decides to purchase. I really hope this helps. There are far more cons than pros, but it's not so much the product itself as the pens you want to organize in it. Pros: Neat, compact and "pages" can be removed for whatever project you are working on. The strap makes it even cooler, and the handle can be attached to a backpack or other bag with a carabiner. There are 7 rows of 27 slots, perfect if you're obsessed with organisation, with a red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple side and storage space for test paper or your latest work. front inner cover.Cons.1. The three rings are not as far apart as the rings in a normal three-hole binding. If you're storing a three-hole binder or notepad here, make sure you have a hole punch handy as the holes won't line up. The slots for each pin are tiny, annoyingly tiny. Aggravating, annoyingly tiny. Ideal for colored pencils as the pen tip fits smoothly into the slots. I chose to use this case for my cheaper smaller markers (Crayola SuperTips and dual tanmite brushes/finliners). I hope to attach a short video to show how these handles barely fit in the elastic slots. If your pen has a jagged edge or, like mine, two edges, it's a struggle. Sometimes the larger end is easier than the double-edged end (which Crayola is known for), while Tanmite pencils have one side smaller than the other (and no second ridge), they're about the width of a pencil, and it still hurts . boarding and alighting (see pictures).3. If you have pens or pencils that fit each slot fairly easily, more than 4-5 pens in a row, you may have to skip the slot every few pens because they are very close together and start going in and out after a while. It will be very crowded. Using two different types of pens, regardless of size, I was only able to get 21-23 pens per page, dropping the number from 189 to 150 or less. β€ŽI mainly paint to relieve stress and sometimes use 30-40 colors in one piece. The thought of putting them all back together and struggling with every single handle to reorganize them after a long day of sorting them by color and side only took one project to realize this probably wasn't for me would work. But that's just me and the pens I use. You're great at collaborating with other brands or media. I ended up buying about 10 clear cheap plastic pencil cases and putting them in an old 3 ring trapper keeper. Yes, I still have a pair. Keeps me organized in exactly the same way with the page labeled inside and marking what colors are in it and skips the slot problem. These plastic zippered file compartments were only a quarter each at Walmart and made use of what I already had. Update: I've uploaded a video showing how difficult it is to fit these two special brands of pins into this case, as well as photos of the holes lined up. (actually it is not necessary) and double-edged ends of the Crayola Super Tips handle.

Pros
  • PORTABLE. The adjustable and detachable strap with carabiner and the soft PU leather pad make it easy and convenient to take it to anywhere, whether you are traveling or working outdoors.
Cons
  • Fading
