SpeedballArt Products Company Coloring Book Travel Case, Large, Black

Love this!!! I have the large and it's wonderful! I highly recommend it! Fits all of my pencils that I wanted to take on vacation...and a good size color book. Great product!

This portfolio is the best one I've seen for transporting your coloring books and markers. There's plenty of room and seems well made.

This was too small, upon requesting a return I was charged almost $9.00 in shipping fees - the product was okay, the return shipping ridiculous.

Just what I needed for my 12 x 8 American Journey Journal and color pencils. Nicely made.Zip pocket on front is kinda small and not very useful to stick anything of bulk. Also really no place to put your pencil sharpener unless you use one without a case.Overall it's very nice.

It’s great it holds everything I need.

Well, it's been over a year since I've had this case, and I am glad to report that it is still in excellent condition. Global Arts (now apparently Speedball) cases are well-constructed with strong zippers that can be open and closed repeatedly without catching or breaking even when full. Naturally, when the case is very full, you should gently pull the sides together so that it will zip easily instead of just yanking it closed. I bought the case based on smaller pencil cases I have previously owned and liked. I saw a few online reviews as well and decided this might be a good buy for an upcoming trip. I wanted a portable case that could contain both coloring tools (pencils/pens, etc) and maybe a coloring book or two, so that I could color while waiting at the airport, and on board the plane itself (those wonderful pre-Covid days--we were going on a cruise). I bought the large case because I have a hard time deciding how many colored pencils to take with me (and I even bought a couple of nice but inexpensive sets but ended up taking a small selection of Faber-Castell Polychromos with me anyway). The pencils fit in there just fine, along with an eraser and handheld KUM sharpener. I could fit these last items in the outside pocket, but the outside pocket does NOT go all the way down! It is about 3 1/2 inches/22 cm deep, although it goes all the way across the case. The case kind of folds out accordion-fashion, so if it's completely opened up it takes up quite a bit of space. Usually you just want to leave the folds as is. Not every "leaf" has elastic holds either, but you can indeed get at least 80 pencils in the large case as advertised (and I had Polychromos pencils in there which are fatter than Prismacolors or Crayolas). The number of pens, markers, etc, would also depend on how fat/thin they are, and whether things like caps take up extra space. However, the elastics are wide strips meant to hold 3-4 average pencils, so you could put in fatter items in these elastics as long as you don't expect the case to hold as many of them as they do pencils.Oh, I did mention "design flaws"? Besides the short outside pocket, one major problem is that there is no shoulder strap and no way to attach one. There isn't even a proper handle. There is a removable loop that hangs from the case, but here's the thing. When you fill that case with your tools and your coloring book or books, this thing is heavy! Trying to pick it up and carry it by the small corner loop is cumbersome at best. I ended up shoving the case into another tote bag just to carry it, which meant I had to struggle to get the thing in and out. The large size is perhaps a bit awkward to use on the tiny airplane trays (but I did it without encroaching on my seatmates). Maybe the medium size would have been better for travel, but then I would be griping that I couldn't get enough pencils in there or take some of my favorite books with me). Even at home, I just found the case awkward to work with, especially since the flaps do not have loops on every side, so there is a lot of weird flipping and folding going on.However, recently, I found an excellent use for this attractive, but up until then, useless case. Fountain pens. For some reason, I developed an obsession with fountain pens, and while none of them are those super expensive ones prized by real serious pen aficionados, they are prized by me, and I want to make sure they were kept safe and undamaged, and still accessible. I could keep several of the pens in this case, safely protected, and lay it flat across the shelf or desk. I'm actually thinking of buying another case when this ones is full.As for use as a traveling color case---it didn't work for me that well. The weight and awkwardness of it made it actually stressful to use--and I color to relieve stress.

SO worth the $$. I have 72 Prismacolor Premier in it plus a set of 24 gel pens, a blender, sharpener & eraser. 2 or 3 coloring books fit depending on thickness, Love having it all in one place so I can grab it on the go!

I use this to carry all my sketching supplies around. I can now take my sketchbook with me whenever I need to, without having to hunt it all down, and can quickly stop sketching at any point

Beautiful case! Great quality. Fits 3 sets of my water pencils, water brushes, and a pad of paper or a couple of colouring books. I also added a thin fiber board from an art supply store ($1.79) to give the back surface a bit more sturdiness for plein air painting. The pocket isn't deep, but it's enough for my small metal ruler, small sharpener, and eraser. This is my second case from Global Art - my first was a medium leather case, bought almost 20 years ago and still looks great. I look forward to using this case for years to come.
