Greater than one weekI really like this case. Luckily I was in a craft store when I saw it and got to try it out before buying. I had to buy a much larger size based on my pencil size. The case has loops that hold anywhere between two to four pencils, depending on how fat your pencils are. I got this for my Derwent Inktense pencils and only 3 fit per loop. The pencil count on the case description is based on four fitting in a loop. I can get 4 of my Faber-Castelle watercolor pencils in the slot. How much the case hold will depend on how skinny or fat your pencils are. I could also put my eraser and sharpener in the loops. After you zip it up, everything stays put. I organized my pencils based on the color spectrum and now can see the color names and quickly get to a specific color w/o having to dig through my dark pencil pouch for a while to find a specific color.

> 3 dayI use a cushiony thingie on each of my crochet hooks, making them too large a diameter for the average crochet hook organizer. Yet I was tired of having them all over the place in odd containers. This pencil case works beautifully! I had to carefully cut every other stitch line on the elastic strap, making each slot a double-wide, to accomodate my fat padded crochet hooks, but this was easily done and now the hooks are all together, organized by size, and easily accessible. Perfect for my somewhat unorthodox use. The holder is well made, and a nice touch are the snaps on each zipper pull, to keep the pull tabs from flopping around. I imagine it would work wonderfully for its intended use--pencils!

> 3 dayThe case does hold 72 pencils, or thin pens like Stabilos, but if you are buying this case for thicker gel pens then it will not hold the advertised amount. It will only hold about 48 gel pens, which is what I bought it for. See photo for the comparison. You can see on the left side that it will only hold 2 gelly roll pens per elastic section but will hold 3 pencils or Stabilo pens, shown on the right side. I bought it for gel pens so I had to return it for a bigger size. The case is pretty decent quality with a nice leather aroma. I also really like the snaps on the zippers that prevents the case from opening when you dont want it to.

> 3 dayWorks great for both pens and pencils. Looks nice in the bookcase when I am not drawing. I have 4 for different mediums, so I am obviously a fan.

> 3 dayThis is my favorite colored pencil storage case. I use this one for my Polychromos and they fit a little snug at first but the elastic stretches out for a nice fit.
