Product Description
No matter where we work, our most essential supplies need quality carry solutions to keep them at their best. With the Work From Home collection, Bellroy has each one covered Read More
Only mentioning this since the Tech Kit is not an option here. But Im using several of these configurable bags. One for my cables, adapters, power bank, media, etc. I use another to store my Dremel and all of its tools.
It’s obviously larger than the small pouch offered here but it’s perfect for my needs and prevents having cables and adapters scattered about and I can’t remember where each of them are. ‘A place for everything, and everything in its place.’

Was disappointed to learn the Tech Kit does not come loaded with each of the accessories shown, and worse--that the Notebook Cover with Pen option doesn't actually include those two Twenties!
MD will be hearing from my attorney in the morning!!!
Jesus Christ are those tech pouches over priced. Orders of magnitude more than they're worth. I know belroy make some nice leather stuff, but that's 30 times the price of something functionally identical. Absolute rip off.
No offense but you guys totally come off as belroy bots for even trying to justify over 200 $ for a tiny little cable and knicknack case. What kind of use case was causing you to go through a cheaper case every month?
nataku411No offense taken, but $200? Wait what? you're completely wrong about the price.
If you look, my post was about the tech pouch which is $40 ~ $50 (I can't see the Drop price since it's not available; but that's what I paid originally. In fact you can even get it for less with online coupons). In my experience, the cheaper $10 AliExpress or Amazon pouches absolutely do get destroyed after a few business travels, they're really very cheaply made, with thin crappy materials that don't last long when used often. And I do travel for work - usually a few times a months (that was before the pandemic, we'll see how that plays out in the future).
You know, there is a Reddit sub where people discuss "Buy It For Life" products. These type of goods are made of better quality materials, don't exploit cheap labor, and last longer, thus reducing waste and reducing repeat purchases. But they cost more than disposable products.
This Tech Pouch is one such BIFL product. Cheap throwaway products and fast fashion are destroying the planet. I'm not joking. So I'm willing to pay more, keep something far longer, and reduce waste (and save in the long run). Bonus: the Belroy Tech Pouch (or Tech Kit here) is made of recycled material (water bottles, if I recall correctly).
So again please re-read my original post, you completely missed my point... More expensive? Yes (not $200 however!). Better quality? Yes. Durable? Yes. Better for the environment? Yes. Generates savings in the longer run? Yes. Belroy fanboy? Perhaps, and in truth they merit it, if their products are better and more durable.
My comments do not apply to their leather goods, which do seem to be overpriced. I don't own any of those.
For anyone looking at tech kit/pouch type things, here's a loooooong rundown of a bunch of different kinds.
Here's a timestamp to save you time. Anyone looking for a more thorough look at the tech kit, refer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0QYmvR0WkQ&t=170.

Search the folio's yourself if you really want them. Most backpacks come with a laptop/tablet sleeve these days anyways. Might be good in a business setting but hardly anyone is going to meetings during the virus.
The Belroy stuff is very pricey, I'll give it to you, but they last longer than the other pouches that I had. So for me personally, the Belroy pouches actually saved me money, since I stopped throwing in the garbage my broken up AliExpress and Amazon crappy pouches (I haven't owned Inateck).
(my comment is around the tech pouches specifically, not the pen pouches, tech folio and travel folio, etc. - some of those do seem overpriced to me)
