Oh cool! New arrivals!
I found the one I want: http://www.jetpens.com/product_info.php/cPath/159_632/products_id/3937
It's
much larger than the regular
Dr. Ion Mega Pencil Case I have now and I have 39 pens and pencils, two erasers, two Petit Corre Correction tapes plus extra leads, pencil erasers, refills and extra tips for my Preppy highlighters and 4 cartridges of Preppy Fountain Pen Ink in that one!
The Super Mega must hold a veritable mountain of stationary supplies!

It is pricey, but given that I have the smaller one with dimension of 4.3 x 9.1 x 2.8 inches for a total volume of ~109.564 in.^ 3 (it's not just a hollow rectangle after all) and it cost me $22.50 while the
Super Mega has dimensions of 8.5 x 5.3 x 3.2 inches for a total volume of ~144.16 in.^ 3... well, okay, based on volume alone, it is pricey comparatively.
Of course, increased volume may not scale directly with production cost. One thing I can say is that the Dr. Ion Mega Pencil Case is
extremely well built with double stitching where appropriate, nice material that will literally withstand years of use and even some abuse, and well, as you see from what I posted above it holds everything but the kitchen sink.
As a happy Dr. Ion owner, I am seriously considering the Super Mega. But, I can certainly see your point. I was just wanting to let folks know these things are built like a modern backpack and not just a cheap zipper sewn to two pieces of light fabric.
Now I have to figure out how many pencils, pens, erasers and refills I can fit into 34.596 in.^3 and if it is worth shelling out the $36.00. I suppose if I didn't have the Dr. Ion Mega already this would be a no-brainer though!
