Nomadic VS-01 Virgo-Attrezzo Standing Pen Case - Beige

Two important notes about the VS-01 standing case "Beige".

One:

The fabric has a metallic reflection to it. In normal light it looks much more gold then it does beige (or canvas, which is what I was thinking it was going to be). As a result, I would describe it as having the look of a "woman's accessory" and it might cause you to get some some wierd looks if your a guy. I'm planning on passing mine on and buying a black case to replace it.

Two:

The zipper is one piece (its a big "U", not two separate halves) and is closed when the pull is at the top of the case (which is the bottom of the "U", so to speak). That means if you have loose pens they bump up on the opening between the pull and the "U" of the zipper and can slowly work the case open, if shaken around enough.

With all that said, I still like the case, and am planing on buying a black one.

Very useful design. Good Price for me. Though because the big amount of Pens I've put inside it would hardly stand lol. But that's not Nomadic's fault.
The Zipper problem mentioned in milutz' very helpful Review isn't that bad in my eyes. The Hole is smaller than the zipper's 'head' (not the part you pull on), and none of my pens is thin enough to fit trough it when fully closed. Anyway if the Case is a little open, the Pens indeed will fall out easily because nothing will separate them from the hole.

Very roomy! Ten pens take up less than half the capacity, but maybe this means that I need more pens?

Dimensions are ~8 x ~3.5 inches.

I've bought numerous pencil cases, and this one tops the list for ease of use, generous and ample opening and closure, full bodied to hold more than a dozen pencils, an eraser and a sharpener.

I get it for a budding artist, my 7 year olld grand-daughter and she will be taking it to school and using it at home.

It stands up and holds its shape regardless of how full or empty it is.

A real winner.

I love this case. It holds a *lot* -- I carry pens, pencils, refills, erasers, markers, and even a flash drive. Everything is nicely protected while being carried in my backpack, and it stands up on the desk very nicely.
