Nomadic PE-09 Flap Type Pencil Case Winner

_{How many did you guess?}

Man - you guys and gals were all over it! So much so, that two of you were exactly right with your guess:

Since I only have one pencil case to giveaway, I let Random.org break the tie. Kelly was the first comment in, so she was assigned #1, and Ben was the second comment in, so he was assigned #2. And the winner is:

Ben! Please leave a comment on this post and send me your shipping address (my email is on the sidebar). Kelly, I feel bad I don't have another case to give you, but since you nailed the number I'll send you out some pens as a consolation prize. Please leave a comment and email me your address as well.

Thanks everyone - that was fun!

Nomadic PE-09 Flap Type Pencil Case Giveaway

The list of Nomadic products I have reviewed is ever growing, and for good reason: Nomadic makes great stuff. I am always impressed with the build quality and functionality of every pencil case I have tested out and use daily. My latest acquisition (with a sneak peek on my Facebook page) is the Nomadic PE-09 Flap Type pencil case, and I am so enamored with it, I have decided I can't keep it for myself.

The product pictures here and at JetPens really don't do the case justice. I knew it would hold lots of pens, pencils, and small notebooks, but I am amazed at just how many it really does hold. I took out my storage box of pens and stuffed the Nomadic to the gills - right up to the point where I cold barely zip it.

How many pens fit in there? Well, that's what I want you to tell me. Leave a comment on this post with your guess on how many pens and pencils I have jammed into this Nomadic PE-09. Closest to the actual number wins the case. In the event of a tie, I will let Random.org decide the winner.

Sound like a plan? Here is a recap of the general rules:

1. Leave one comment on this post anytime between now, and Wednesday night at 11:59 PM Eastern Time.  You are limited to one entry. This contest is limited to US residents only.

2. Please follow @jetpens on Twitter and "Like" JetPens on Facebook. This is not mandatory, but I sure would appreciate your support! Feel free to follow me @dowdyism as well.

3. For this contest, the winner will be the person who comes the closest to the number of pens and pencils inside the Nomadic PE-09. In the event of a tie, Random.org will pick the winner.

4. The contest winner will be posted on Thursday, July 14th.  The winner will have one week to email me at the address posted in the right sidebar.

Thanks and good luck!

Guest Review: Nomadic Virgo-Attrezzo Pen Case

The reason I have chosen to review the Nomadic Virgo-Attrezzo standing pen case is because I won it right here a few months ago! A great giveaway. Sorry if the pictures are a little blurry I am still deciding on a new camera and had to make do with my BlackBerry.

Starting off, this is what the pen case looks like empty:

It is around 20cm high at the very back, 5.5cm wide and its length is around 6.5cm. The material feels as though it could stand wear and tear pretty well.

Now, on to how many pens it can fit. The picture directly below is showing some the case with some pens. There are 26 in there along with a couple of refills although it could probably take 2 or 3 more before zipping it shut would not be as easy. To stand the pencil case up you can fold down the top part, but I don't tend to do that and the case still stands fine. As you can see in the second picture down, there are 2 pouches, one on each side (of equal size). Now, these are large enough to fit spare pencil leads or a box of paper clips etc but I use them to clip on pens that I need to find easily - although I could still use the pouch itself if I wanted to.

At the middle in the back, the same height as the pouches is an oversized loop. The small tag that came with the case showed how a ruler can be placed here which is what I use it for, but it can also keep refills snug or if you carry fountain pens with you they could be clipped on to this - although I have never done this as I am worried I would end up taking the pen cap off trying to remove it!

Towards the front of the case there is a small pouch which can be used to fit an eraser and sharpener and other small things such as page markers.

This is a great case especially for students as it can fit lots of pens and other things you need.
