Nice enough, well made but overpriced and confusing spec.
This is a very basic medium-sized two (zipped) pocket pencil case. The outside fabric is nice enough and fairly typical and the inside is lined and smoother and may give some protection from leaking pens etc.Other than the two pockets there’s no internal organisation (pen loops, mesh pockets etc.) so if you are looking for that level of tidiness you’ll need to look elsewhere. It holds a reasonable amount of pens, pencils, sharpeners etc. (enough for school/college) in the main compartment but the outer zip pocket is slimmer and best use for flatter items i.e. a small ruler. What was most impressive was the zips, which as well as operating very smoothly with no hint of a snag, have an extended pull on them (a bit like a waterproof jacket’s zip) that makes them very easy to grab and use.Arteza describe this pencil case as a ‘premium’ one. I’d day that was true in terms of quality (it’s very well made, and the zips are good quarry and have been fitted well), but not features as it is very simple.PROS:Nice looking in a non-flashy way.Decent capacity.Seems to be very well made and the zips impressed me both in terms of operating smoothly and the little plastics tags to make them easier to use.Some organisation by means of shaving two zipped pockets.Can be hand-washed.CONS:It is in essence a basic, two-pocket pencil case with no internal organisation.It’s good quality but £8 for such a simple pencil case is at least £2 or £3 too much in my opinion.Limited colour options (only blue for this design, though it looks nice).Confusing listing (see someone else’s review). I knew that I was getting the simple (no internal organisation) case, but someone looking at the black or purple ones would see a case with pen loops and a mesh pocket for the same price.This begs the question, which case are you actually selling Arteza and why does the blue simple one cost as much as a more sophisticated (I would say better) version? It seems to judge by the other review that the simple case is actually what is supplied and the pictures for all but the blue case are incorrect. That’s a pretty basic mistake to make and one that Arteza need to address pronto.OVERALL:This is a decent case; well made, good zips, looks nice and with reasonable capacity. I have to be cautious though of giving praise for things just being as they should be. All pencils cases should be well made and have decent zips - it just so happens that I have had a few lately with dodgy zips including one that failed. Although this is a pretty good, basic pencil case the listing information makes it all too likely that someone will not get the case they expected, which is not on. In my view, while it will do the job, it is overpriced and under-specced, and the case with pen loops as pictured in black or purple would have been a much more useful one and closer to being worth £8. You can pay the same or more for a less well made case, but equally there are chapter better cases around if you search for them and that would be my suggestion.

Good pencil case with decent capacity
I really like this pencil case.The case has a main compartment and a pocket section that runs the full width of the case, and both compartments have zips with extension loops on them, making getting into and closing the case much easier.The capacity of the case is really good. Admittedly, you would need to use 15cm or folding 30cm rulers, but beyond that it should be able to hold anything needed for school or work. I tried filling it up with some of the pens from my collection and managed to get a couple of sets of coloured pens, plus plenty of choice in writing pens and pencils in there, a couple of rulers, a calculator and some USB sticks.I personally like the understated styling, and the case feels well made. Certainly sturdier than some of the other pencil cases I have had. Also I can see people commenting about price, and compared to pencil cases I have seen on the high street, this one is good value for money, especially considering the capacity and build quality of this one compared to its rivals.Overall, this is a fantastically roomy pencil case without being excessively bulky, it well made and works brilliantly at its intended purpose. As such I am happy to recommend it.

Good quality but basic Pencil or Pen case.
This is a simple no frills pencil case/bag.There is one main large zipped pouch which is the full size of the bag and one smaller zipped side pocket.There is a fair amount of room to jam a good amount of pens and/or pencils into the main pouch and the case seems pretty durable and it's small enough to carry around easily.Personally I would have preferred it to have offered a bit more in the way of organisation for your pencils.Rather than just one big pouch, at least a couple of compartments within the main pouch to separate your pencils or pens out a little. If you have a lot of pens in this case you will likely just have to empty them on a desk to find the one you want.At the end of the day if you want a small sturdy pencil case to just jam a load of pens and pencils in then this will do you fine and it's pretty cheap as well.

Hard-wearing pencil case
I think this pencil case is great value for money and I can see it lasting a while.The pencil case arrived wrapped in cellophane. I was disappointed with this unwanted plastic waste and am sure something environmentally friendly could have been used instead.I like the denim outer material: it makes the pencil case more hard-wearing and durable. It is lined inside to prevent pen leaks coming through to the outer material. A simple design, this pencil case has two openings: large main and one side pocket. Both are an adequate size and overall, the pencil case does not become too large and cumbersome when filled. The zips move easily and I like the side pocket for accessories.Overall, I like the simplistic design and it feels like a decent pencil case.
