<\/div>\n

Recently, I purchased a Raymay Detecool Pen Case<\/a> after watching a JetPens video<\/a> (Detecool segment starts at 0:16<\/a>). I wasn’t sure how it would work out for my pens, but I was very pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After using it a few times, I can happily say it’s my favorite traveling pen case. Here’s some of what’s so great about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction & Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Detecool case appears to be well-made, and I have high hopes that it will last a long time with a bit of TLC. The sides and bottom are sturdy, making crushing unlikely.<\/span> So my pens will be well protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is enough space inside to hold multiple pens in individual pen sleeves. In my opinion, this is what makes the case extra special. I have other cases that offer sturdy protection (the Franklin-Christoph Penvelope and Girologio zippered cases come to mind), but they don’t hold my pens in protective sleeves. The Detecool allows for scratch protection as well as basic crush protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-Use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Detecool isn’t just a case, it also doubles as a pen cup. The top flap is held out of the way by a convenient magnet on the back, leaving your pens readily available. And the pen “drawer” \u2014 or maybe I should call it a cup? \u2014 pulls out at an angle for easy access.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Despite its tall, thin design, the Detecool is well-balanced. It’s not likely to get knocked over easily. I’ve tried giving it a couple of light bumps, and it didn’t even move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sizes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two versions, the full-sized one I bought, and a smaller, “Mobile” version<\/a> with extra pockets. If you have tall pens, you definitely want the full sized version. But if you’re looking for a case for medium or small sized pens, then you’ll be happy with the Mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s really only one downside in my opinion: availability. As far as I know, it’s only available at JetPens. And, because it’s so new, some of the colorways are often unavailable. Hopefully, as time goes on, they’ll be more readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I may pick up another one or two of these as the world gets back to normal and meetups become possible again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think? Is this a case that would be useful for you? Do you think you’ll get one? Let me know in a comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
