I love pockets, and the Hightide Nahe case is a nice collection of pockets. These are great for building supply kits that you can mix and match and grab and go. You can make one a letter writing kit with cards and stamps, etc., make one a planner supply kit with stickers and stencils--you can grab them, stick them in your backpack, and off you go.
The case is made from PVC, which is a practical choice, although it's a bit unpleasant. It smells very plasticky and the molded edges can be a bit sharp. It may also be prone to cracking over time, as most PVC does, though I haven't had it long enough to test that theory. It is, however, an inexpensive material, which keeps the cost of this case at only $11, which is fair.
The back, sides, and closure flap of the case are in colorful, opaque material, and the front is clear PVC. The back of the case has a large slip pocket divided in two that fits a slim A5 notebook or two. The front flap closes with a metal snap. Inside the case there is a main A5 compartment that is gusseted to fit a decent sized notebook. Along the back inside wall are two clear pockets--a narrower one that fits small papers, accessories, or pens, and a larger one that can fit medium items like another notebook.
I think these are great for containing individual projects, and they're available in a lot of colors, so you can color code those projects. While they may look and feel a bit cheap, that's because they are, in fact, inexpensive, which is good, because you're going to want a few of 'em.
