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've used this compact pencil case for a few weeks now, and I think it's my new favorite for daily use/travel. Highly recommend :) Size-wise, my second picture shows this in my hand and I found that it is literally the same size from the bottom of my palm to the tip of my middle finger if I hold my hand flat on top (I have average womens hand size). Or around the same size as a "plus" size smartphone. It's honestly cute. And yet...behold how much you can fit. I show mine stuffed to what I think is the brim, but then I was able to fit in a couple more things so...?! On the left: Uni one P pen, 2 refills, tombow whiteout tape, faber castell refill lead, sunstar scissors, small lead sharpener and a thin washi tape. On the right: Sakura pigma brush pen, TWSBI eco x2 white and purple, Marvy lePen fine point markers x2 pink and green, faber castell and Kaweco sport lead holders. Zips up fine, no tugging. There are definitely enough pockets for organizing and keeping things separate. It's easy to use because when the zippers are open fully, it lays flat on its own. The netting on the left side feels durable enough, and the fabric used elsewhere feels durable and water repellent as well. The shiny portion on the bound side of the case feels like...not quite leather, not quite plastic? But closer to plastic? But it's soft and doesn't resist forming to the shape of the rest of the case. It's not bad, just interesting and I kind of like it now. It seems to soften up over time a bit as you handle the case? The colors options are the only thing left to be desired, but that's true of all of lihit lab pencil cases I think. But this black I got is nice and black, not charcoal or something. Considering more colors because I can think of a few other uses for these and my husband has expressed interest. (P.S. makes a great travel electronics cord case and fits pen sized makeup brushes~)

This is my second pen case from LIHITLAB. It's got everything I need. I can put my everyday carry pens (about 4), sticky notes, correction tape, sharpener, eraser very comfortably in this pouch. It looks great too. I love the color. It feels like it's made well: the zips and stitches feel sturdy.

It can really open SO WIDE and closes to a compact size. I got the wide option and it's so perfect for my watercolor supplies <3!! I LOVE traveling with this bag from room to room or even outside. It's not bulky and it's the right size for my supplies. I LOVE the side pockets, I do wish they were elastic, but honestly these are perfectly fine and they don't bother me. I was afraid my thin palette would flail out of the big pocket, but it doesn't!! The pouch is so durable and I haven't tested the water resistance. The zipper is quality as well It also fits my 4 oz container I keep in there to use with my travel brush.

Love this case. I've already purchased 2 of them! The first one I lost, the second one my son liked and I gave to him. I guess I'm going to be purchasing a third soon lol. Highly recommend.!

Durable material and waterproof with smooth zipper.

These are great for what I wanted: to fit inside an old Daytimer cover. Two work well! They are tiny but hold 12 pens (of regular length) each plus room for postits and I have a metal ruler/ stencil in behind the grey ones. They are very good quality, the fabric is thick and the seams appear strong.

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.

Los colores de tejido que utiliza esta marca son muy bonitos. Es un estuche pequeño, ideal para llevar en un bolso. Al abrirlo tiene dos zonas para organizar materiales, son estrechas pero lo suficiente largas para poner bolis, caben 5 bolis perfectamente en cada lado, yo he puesto los vintage de zebra.
