More stiff than I was expecting. I was also hoping for some elasticity in the pen loops, but they're not much softer than the exterior. The little mesh pockets have some stretch to them, but you can't fit anything thick in there if you plan to keep something else in the back pocket. And the problem with the middle flap is that it attaches right against the back rather than actually in the middle.

I was looking for a case I could keep in my pocket, and if it turned out to be too large for that, then a case that could hold my necessary pens and easily transfer bags as I'm often transitioning from my personal backpack to a work laptop bag. This is perfectly between those sizes. Too large for my pocket, but too small to hold all the pens, pencil, highlighters, and other tools I'd like to have conveniently transferable between bags.
I guess I'll keep looking.

I also disliked the brown inside--it looks like poop. Black outside should be complimented with a nice orange pop inside. Either that or keep it all professional with black in and out. But don't you know that black and brown just don't go together?

This is a very nice compact case to carry m various device charging stuff. It is well madeee and carries more than I thought it wouldd. I like how compact it is and also that the design is not so regimented that you can't make it fit your needss. I have traveled with this two or three timesss since I got it and found it to be very functional. At home I still keep my extras in this case so when I go out I have tools that I need in case I need my extra battery boost or to pllug in and charge.

This is just what I needed and the quality and size are very, very good at this price. In fact, I have never seen one more suitable for traveling outside of my home with my basic art supplies than this wonderful little bag. You can put pencils, erasers, sharpener and whatever you need in this one handy little bag. It has enough compartments to keep all of the essentials separated and easy to get to. When I am out sketching I don't need 40 pencils just to sketch out something. I don't even need that many at home so this is perfect for me. It should hold 10 to 15 pencils easily.

This bag is so nice and has so many features, including two external pockets, that I am probably going to buy another one to use with my camera accessories.

The only drawback is that it has a peculiar smell to it that I assume will go away in a few days. If not I will wash it out by hand or throw it in the washing machine.

It's very nice!! But I can't really put in any of my wooden pencils. I can put in some of the pencils, but they needed to be sharpened down a lot. But otherwise, very nice!! It fits a lot of pens and erasers.

I can fit so much in this bag. It's my watercolor and sketching kit now.
