Review on Soucolor Leather Capacity Prismacolor Premier Organization, Storage & Transport in Pen, Pencil & Marker Cases by Wendy Rodriguez

I recently decided to get back into art and illustration, so I dabbled in some colored pencils. I suddenly realized that I had a lot of pencils and I had nowhere to go. I read reviews on this case and didn't know what to do. I decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did. WHAT IS THIS PENALTY FOR? This pencil case is made of vinyl which is similar in texture to faux leather. The weight is not as thick as one would expect, but it is sufficient for this case and its purpose. A total of five pages, each with 22 pen compartments. This leaves a page with 14 regular pencil slots and two large pencil slots that provide space for erasers, thicker pencils, a ruler or similar. My sandpaper fits in there. ZIPPER QUALITY I have Global Leather Cases and I have to say the quality of these zippers is not as good as Global. I will say they are appropriate for the occasion and for the price they are worth. Time will tell how long they last. As long as I pay attention to what I'm doing and take my time, that's fine. HANDLE This is the only part of this case that I wouldn't use. It's not strong enough to risk using it - the back (like the spine) of the book isn't strong enough to use as it's only riveted to a vinyl sheet in a small spot. Instead, I pulled a thick mesh through my spine and used it as a pen. Works much better as it distributes the weight better. PENCILS For reference: In this case I'm using Derwent Inktense colored pencils. These pencils tend to be slightly thicker than others. They fit great. I have plenty of room for double colors and still some room for future purchases as the largest Inktense set available contains 72 crayons and this case holds up to 120 crayons. quality of elasticity in this case. I'm happy to report that so far every page has remained strong with no protruding edges. CONCLUSION This case is perfect for my needs. It's inexpensive, fits all my pens and then some, and works great. If you are careful the zippers will be fine. Jerking too fast or trying to move too fast can result in a possible malfunction. The handle isn't too big, but the modified handle works well. For the price this is a great buy. MY RATING That's FIVE stars. I wasn't really expecting to use a pen, so I'm not deducting a star for that. It's great quality at a fantastic price.
