LIHITLAB Compact Pen Case, Water & Stain Repellent

I took a chance on this little case -I want to take my sketching/painting gear on a trip to Europe in as small and light weight a conveyance as possible. This is not an urban sketching trip and I doubt anyone else will be doing this so I can’t be lugging along and pulling out a lot of gear. I have a larger Lithitlab case that is my “vault” for all things extra I like to have with me locally. I love it but its format is too large for this need to order another. I want to be able to have something that can easily be put in my purse (to be determined). I can get everything I need in this small compact case EXCEPT my palette - even my smallest, dearest Whiskey Painter’s palette is too thick at 7/8” total (includes projections from mixing areas & thumb ring) to zip up the case. So my dilemma is, do I love this case enough to spend $50+ on a “pocket palette” (at 1/4” thick & I THINK will fit in vertically) to save size and weight & still have a palette? I have an old “freebie” make up bag that EVERYTHING fits in, including 2 Whiskey Painters palettes, but loaded it weighs almost 1# (more with a Moleskin sketchbook, BUT the sketchbook fits in it!). This case loaded would be just under 1/2# , is half the size, and in reality I would have more than I actually need. It would seem like an easy decision. I’m keeping it no matter - will probably bite the bullet and order yet another paint palette. Love how it feels in my hand. Very well made. Zippers are excellent. Lays flat. Will update with photo when resolved. Update: ordered the Pocket Palette and even smaller Demi Palette from Art Toolkit. The Pocket Palette is business card size. Both those small, but more than adequate paint palettes fit in this Smart Fit Lihit case. Everything fits beautifully and this fits in the crossbody bag I’m taking nicely. For travel sketching or just everyday to throw in a purse or backpack or just keep in the car - you can’t beat this.

I couldn't wait to receive this package. When it arrived I immediately loaded it up with my favorite journaling supplies. I like to carry a few items around just in case I get a few minutes to journal, but I hate feeling loaded down. Average pencil cases are a tad small for those extra art accessories, but the larger art cases are overkill. This bag has just enough room for a few pen options, washis and a watercolor palette--perfect for my needs! Plus it has tons of little design features that make it easy to use. It sits upright on a table and has a gusset to open wide and find what you need. There are just enough pockets to organize without adding bulk. The pockets are also netted, so you can see what's in there. There are double zipper pulls (really smooth action) so I can open it from either side when it's shoved in my bag :) The tapered top is a small detail, but it really helps reduce size without sacrificing storage. So far this pencil case is a huge win. Fabric seems strong but I'll update review after awhile of real world use, to let all know how it holds up. I've included a few photos to show how case looks packed. The pics with my key fob and A5 Bujo are for size reference. UPDATE: after several years of use the bag has held up pretty well. There is a small tear in the interior seam, but the zippers, pockets and exterior fabric are great.

I love this! It's mighty compact, carrying only around 10-11 pens and still be able to zip up easily. I use only one side carrying around 5 pens for work.You can put 5 on the other side if you don't want to use the mesh for a pocket book and even fit a small eraser or correction tape in the second mesh pocket. I use this for work and carry around 4 highlighters, a black gel pen and a Sharpie when I need to mark down orders or take a note. Be mindful of how thick the items might be when putting it in this case cause it reduces the amount of other items you can put in. I use the mesh side to hold some id cards, coupons or whatever and the second pocket to hold an eraser. It is slim enough to fit into a purse or bag pack without taking up a lot of space. Overall this is a great case, it feels nice, it's well made and looks nice too. I recommend this if you don't want a big case and only use under 10 or so pens, pencils, markers or what have you.

I looked at hundreds of pen cases, and I know Lihit Labs for quality. This case was perfect for my travel needs and I keep several fountain pens in it. I do put a soft flannel between layers because I have higher end pens in this case. It is flat, easy to zip, small enough to tuck in a purse or messenger bag. It's a great product, well made.

I absolutely LOVE this case! It doesn’t take too much space in my bag, yet it holds 5-6 pens and pencils, erasers, scissors, LED.. Probably a lot more. But this has been keeping me sane throughout the school year, and it’s such an investment! I’ve had it for 6-7 months and there’s not a single wear or tear that I’ve noticed. The black color is also quite beautiful and nothing inside has ever been damaged.

I guess I didn't read the description well enough. Was looking for a small pencil case to put in my bag. This looked perfect except you can't fit a regular sized pencil in it. It is a really nice case though. Wish it were a bit longer.

I can fit several dip pen nib holders and a small plastic container of nibs with room to spare. It's all well-protected and well-constructed. Recommended for all kinds of writing implements.

es pequeño, practico y minimalista, se adapta a lo que necesito, realmente son contadas las cosas que tengo en el estuche, se siente de buena calidad. Por el precio que tiene y su calidad, realmente lo recomiendo

pencil case is not suitable for lead pencils as it's not long enough. Otherwise, it's a really organised case

Durable material and waterproof with smooth zipper.

It's amazing but it was a little torn since I had to go out I could replace it otherwise go for it . This is the best you can get. For stationary lovers this is one of the ' must have items '

My dear beautiful pencil case, I love the compact size and the beautiful green colour. Thank you lihit lab, I love you.
