would the compartments fit pens and pencils easily?

I use it strictly to separate Sharpies by color. Works great. Opens easily. Good quality. Most ball point pens and pencils would be too tall, although I have never measured.

The compartments are large enough to fit several pens and pencils each. I use mine to hold make-up pencils. Eyeliner and eyebrow pencils, etc. There are two potential negatives: 1. The doors tilt outward causing the pencils to catch on the top of the opening. 2. It is made of plastic making it noisy to open and close. The pens and pencils bang and clang against each other and the door as it drops forward to open. If you only use it a couple of times a day, it could be just a nuisance; but if you are going to use it several times, it could become very annoying.

The five-bin fits markers, the four-bin fits pens. New pencils are too long unless you let them flop on the diagonal but then it doesn't look neat and tidy. I suggest any long, vertical object like pens/markers be held together with a rubber band so they stay upright and don't jam the opening.

I think the large section would hold papers that size. The other side holds pencils and other small items. A word of warning, though. Mine came apart in less than a year and I couldn't repair it, so I had to throw it out. And it's very heavy.

There are more slots for pens and pencils than I estimated in my original review. I count 35 plus one more double-wide that could hold a ruler or an eraser. So a total of 36. Hope that helps.

Yes. Everything is in a little box and I found it easily portable. I was also able to hold a pencil and highlighter in it.

Inside the front bottom pouch there are slots for pens and pencils. There is also a spot that holds a TI-84 calculator perfectly and another that will hold a cd case. There is also a smaller hidden pocket near the top of the bag that i use on occasion to put my wallet or receipts.

No, inside of drawer is a little under 6 1/4" , so no. Unless sharpened and shorter. Sharpies and other pens fit fine.

Yes, I would think it would. I have various items, large and small in the compartments, and I have yet to have anything out of place. I keep my pins and needles in a small, plastic box (also for fishing :-) ), so I don't know if something that tiny would slip through or not. I would think rubber bands would be fine.

Yes it does... but honestly... it looks wonderful and organized but I hated trying to get my pens in and out of it... I like them tossed loose in a box

Yes. I am thinking probably not as many pencils as straws but they should fit.

Yes. The smaller compartments on the ends can hold nail polish, lipstick, etc.

Yes. Easily. My daughter can fit her mackbook in with cables, along with her ipad, books...and other things. There is also a pocket on the front that holds a lot of stuff. Very durable. She's 11 and takes it everywhere from school to vacation.

Yes it does accommodate brochures and booklets well. Each inner compartment can hold many brochures comfortably.

Yes it shouldn't be a problem. You can rip out some of the panels with velcro tabs to resize compartments.

I would sort of think not. Not if you want to hold the book open and have plenty of room to write, as well. If you've got the dimensions of the thing, draw it out and see what fits. I bet it's a little cramped. Could be frustrating.

Absolutely! The compartments are very spacious. There's even another compartment with inner pockets.

A little one, maybe, especially the more oval shaped ones. But a big round one? Probably not. I've put pens, pencils, and even my cell phone (Droid) fits in it. But it's is thin.

Cara, you would be able to fit it all in there, but the smaller school supplies will be loose. There are no real "pockets" inside the case, but it definitely has room for everything you've described.
