Okay, so I've been using this art portfolio case for about a month now, and honestly? It's been a total game-changer for my art classes.
First off, the size is PERFECT. My 18x24 newsprint pad fits like a dream in the main compartment, and I still have room for my pastel box and other flat supplies. The smaller pockets? Genius. I use them for my pencil cases, brushes, and even my coffee (shh, don't tell anyone).
The backpack straps are surprisingly sturdy - I've carried about 18 lbs of supplies across campus multiple times, and they haven't shown any signs of giving up. Though I'll admit, the handle orientation feels a tiny bit off, but it's not a dealbreaker.
Waterproofing gets an A+ from me. I may or may not have spilled my iced coffee inside (oops), and nothing leaked through. The material feels durable and the zippers glide smoothly.
My only minor complaint? It's JUST 18x24, so sometimes I have to leave it slightly open for larger pieces. But overall? 10/10 would recommend to any art student!
