Colorolio Book Folio, Holds Your Adult Coloring Books, Colored Pencils, Pens, Toad's Epiphany

I really love the idea of this...I like that I can have everything with me when I am say waiting at the doctors or something. I took it with me to the hair salon and it worked well enough.The problem I ran into is that the holders for the pencils are way too close together. As hard as I tried I could not fit pencils into every holder. There are 24 holders for pencils and I managed to get 21 in. Then the problem I ran into was once I had a pencil out, it was extremely difficult to get it back into place.I put a standard size Creative Haven coloring book into it and that fir well enough, but this would never work for any of the square books like secret garden or enchanted forest. There are two pockets above the pencils where you can put a pencil sharpener and an eraser. I couldn't fit my good pencil sharpener into it, but I had a small one that came with a set of pencils that fit ok.I think this would work best if you only want to take a set of 12 pencils and put one pencil into every other slot. It's a nice idea though and I'm not at all sorry that I bought it. It just won't be as useful as I first thought...

I am an artist and get bored waiting in the carpool line to pick up my child from school. This stays in my vehicle and is holding up nicely even with it getting wet on occasion. My coloring book housed inside is not damaged by weather elements (snow, slush, rain, dirt, kids spilling food, coffee, water, putting wet winter gear on it, three kids eatting near it, etc...)Pros: The slots work well for colored pencils.The zipper holds a coloring book loosely. My coloring book is not wet or damaged.Cons: The slots inside do not work with prismacolor markers or sharpie markers.Does not hold my pencil sharpener and coloring book. It only holds one or the other not both. The majority of my colored pencils are in a pencil tin as it doesn't hold the amount I need.For the value I would say its great thus far (2 months of usage)

This folio is beautifully made. I bought this to carry my coloring with me to medical appointments. It will most certainly do the job! The zipped iis sewn in very well and the materials it's made of seem to be very sturdy.Before it arrived in the mail, I received an email from Colorolio telling me what to expect. They stated that the elastic that they use is extra heavy duty, and to expect my pencils to go in very tightly at first. They weren't misleading about this! The elastic is very tight. I am hoping that it will loosen over time, instead of tearing this gorgeous folio.If it begins to tear, I will update this review as well as contact Colorolio.

The pencil slots are too tight to fit 24 pencils. I was able to get the pencils into the slots by working from the center out, but then when I removed a center pencil there was no way I could put it back in place. Such a great idea to carry your book and pencils together, but the pencil slots need to be more like the ones in the Pencetti brand bags. I also bought one of those and they work great!

Pockets are to small to use. Not enough holders for pencils.

It was a great gift, he loved it.

I took a chance buying this, now it's going in the yard sale. This will barely work for one coloring book or notepad and a few pencils, but that is all. It is very shallow, no room for expansion. Not a useful item in my opinion.

PROS:- enchanting artwork!!-utility (pencil holder + pouches-effective!-unique-well packaged-zipper!!!!!!-sturdy-easily cleaned-comfortably fits a coloring book and colored pencilsCONS:- gets dirty easily-awkward placement of pouches and pencil holder for right handed people- pencil holder not really functionalI recieved this product at a discount from the seller in exchange for my honest review. However, my opinion has not been influenced in any way.I was excited to use this product! I love coloring, especially in boring meetings and any place I don't need my hands. However, its so bulky! and I always feel like I have too many things. I like this object cause it consolidates my coloring book and colored pencils into one secure object.I didn't like that the pencil holder and pouches are on the right side, and I didn't want to use the pencil holder because I didn't want the points on my pencils to break. I would use it if I was using gel pens.Overall useful +beautiful.
