Scribbles That Matter - A5 Pencil Case Pouch + Journal Organizer - Large capacity Kawaii Pencil Pouch, Pen Case, Marker Case, Storage Journal Pouch Zippered Pocket Adjustable Shoulder Strap (7 x 10)

I Love the layout of this planner cover. The Velcro type spine that allows me to remove the planner free of the cover is genius I think. The material mine was made of felt a bit different, but not off putting. After use I found out two wonderful things about it.. I accidentally spilled a drink on the outside and it cleaned up amazingly and second one of the cats got to it before I could get it away from them, and proceeded to treat it like a scratch pad (more than once admittedly). I was expecting it to have some pretty good territorial claw markings but there were NONE... yes NONE, my jaw dropped! My only wish was that it had a somewhat harder core and or a slightly wider width as I do like to stuff it full of pens & markers (20+ish), washi tapes, stickers, post-it note pads, stencils, corrective tape, decorative corrective tape, small T-ruler, 2 mini scissors, along with cards/bills, lens wipes, and it is even holding a lip balm at the moment. Being this stuffed and not having a harder/wider spine means it does warp a little bit (my fault) when I zipper it closed, Zipper is holding up great too! I feel like this will last a long long time! (6+mos of hard use already). But I would rebuy again if I ever needed to.

I took care of my grandparents (who were not in the best of health). I was going to doctors appointments multiple times a week and this thing saved my life. I color coded their appointments along with my parents and my own so I needed room for an assortment of colored pens and this has enough room for practically every brand I have plus room for appointment cards and aftercare papers. It helped me stay incredibly organized and my favorite part is that the middle piece is removable for easy access to both sides for pens so you're not having to open and close your book to swap colors. definitely recommend. I will be getting a new size for my smaller budget planner this year.

Given the premise, it’s surprising to me how easy it is to fill this up width-wise—having added highlighters to one side and a notebook (not STM brand but a similar A5, hardcover journal of equivalent page count), I found myself fearing for the zipper a little already and more so if I added anything more. If the space was going to be that limited I would have liked to see at least another external pocket on the back. As is, I’m a bit disappointed there because I was hoping to also fit a slim A5 planner or two (I make odd choices with redundant planners but, well). I like the design enough, and have found myself journaling less than I used to enough, that I’ll probably end up buying slimmer, softcover journals in the future in order to keep using this case, as opposed to writing the case off—assuming I am not fated to kill the zippers by then. And the “peacock blue” color is quite nice. But given it’s advertised as having space for a full complement of journal supplies, I was sad and surprised to hit a wall when I’d consider myself barely halfway there. If nothing else I’d have liked to be able to keep writing supplies on both sides of the notebook, or maybe slim tapes, but adding another 1–1.5cm in any direction feels like tempting fate…!

The media could not be loaded. These have the best functionality and it’s a product I keep returning too. On the outside you have water resistant fabric and excellent strap that is comfortable and adjustable. Reliable strong loops to attach it to and great metal hardware. The zippers are really good with reliable pulls on them. They come in great colors and look modern. The front pocket is great to add your phone or keys and some other small things. the inside is where this product shines. I have a clunky Etchr art bag that I paid way too much for and it’s great for taking supplies from car to a sitting location quickly. For walking a distance This STM bag is perfect. I have one for watercoloring supplies and another for junk journaling and they are amazing. I can easily fill this and keep it flat. The bag sits flush to your body so it’s not clunky when walking through the airport or on public transit. It’s the perfect size a the pockets and elastics are crazy versatile. They store neatly on my shelf like books and I have used these bags for so many art things I do that I need another one just for relaxing coloring kit and we made my daughter one for all her cross stitching supplies. We often travel to meet ups as well and you can just set this on the table and unzip and your ready to go. The middle part is removable too so you can just pull it out and now see all your supplies and have a flat surface you can clip your journals, paper, or coloring books too. Is it pricey….yes. Is it worth it….completely. I would rather pay a bit more upfront. For a bag that will last and fill all my needs. I am in love with these bags and plan on getting more.

I like how adjustable the straps are as well as the pockets. There's these two straps inside that hold your bullet journal down. which helps a lot when you're trying to open it up. The only issue I have is that despite having an A5 journal, sometimes the cover "slips out" of those straps.

I bought this as a splurge because I am trying out journaling again and I wanted something that would hold everything. And it does and then some. I have managed to get all of my pens and stencils. A small ruler, my bullet journal and a sketchbook, a set of drawing pencils, a sharpener, two erasers, sticky notes and a couple of other items. Granted it is a tight fit, but I have not noticed any damage to the zipper. I also purchased the larger size to accommodate everything. The journals are A5 size. Funny thing is, I use it more for my sketchbook than my journal. I think I will get another one for my journal and use this one for my drawings. If was not trying to hold two books, I would also be able to add a small set of colored pencils for drawing on the go. I love how everything is organized and I don’t have to worry about anything falling out.
