- It does not offer a lot of space:
In my pocket is a pen, a thin pencil (Faber-Castell) and a highlighter (ebenfals Faber-Castell: not this elongated marker, but those who really look like a slightly thicker pen) and I would not put into this bag want, because they would then simply look very bulky and the risk that the pins fall. However, the space for the current equipment is perfectly okay.
- It smells of leather:
Yes, it really does! At first I was always a bit embarrassed to take them out in lectures, because the smell was really overpowering. But now the smell is gone and it smells only when one sticks his nose into his pocket. So really just a temporary problem.
- The tape does not look as if it would last forever:
However, I find the lock with the band really nice. If you treat it with care, it might indeed keeps longer than expected. Until now, with me nothing broken.
Overall, a really good bag, I recommend them happy. Every buyer should only the three aspects - at least in my opinion - note.
One star deduction there are really only because I do not trust the tape all over the road. Here, the processing could have been a little better. Surely we can say that we'll meet just then in 1/2/3 / etc. Years for the price you can order a new copy. But my opinion is that I would like to spend a very long time with my pencil case, since it ultimately is a very personal subject, and I do something "stupid" find only because of a small band to get a new bag. It finally is animal skin and its should be aware of.
