VERY High Quality
This case was a gift from my wife, so I can’t comment on shipment punctuality, though, I suspect that I would have heard about it if there were any issues such as excessive delays in shipping.  I wanted this case as I do not have a huge collection of (fountain) pens (yet) and I generally do not carry more than 5 pens around at any point.  Another consideration was the thickness of the case.  I did not want a “double sided” case (as often hold 10 or 12 pens) as my daily use messenger bag is thin and won’t accommodate a thicker case.  The thickness of this case when loaded is ~2cm (3/4”), which fits perfectly next to my pen journal.<br />  The quality of the leather (as with the entire piece) is great.  Leather thickness is nice, not having that thin, papery feel you find in lower quality/thickness leather samples, while at the same time not being excessive.  It is soft and supple with a natural look (not “over tanned” within an inch of its life) and natural imperfections, which I feel, add to its character an personality.  The Galen leather stamp on the back is small and unobtrusive.<br />  The inside is lined with a soft, felt-like material and the zipper pull is a small, tightly sewn leather fob.  There is also a pocket on the inside of the right/back cover to hold a small “field notes” style notebook in place.  The elastic loops are ~3cm wide, which generally prevents lateral “rocking” of pens (more on how this is affected by pen thickness below) into each other during non-extreme usage.  The elastic loops fit “thicker” barreled pens well, snugly holding them in place without the necessity for a clip.  Thinner barreled pens are not held in place and will slide freely without a clip to secure them to the loop and they will rock, coming in contact with their neighbors.  The pens in the picture are (left to right) Sheaffer Taranis, Sheaffer Pop, and Jinhao X450.<br />  Unexpectedly, Galen leather included some neat little extras that came as a pleasant surprise.  One packet each of (instant) Turkish coffee and a tea bag (I do not know what flavor, as I do not read Turkish), were included which can be enjoyed during writing sessions.  Also included was a small glass “evil eye” bead on a string along with a brief description of the evil eye legend in Turkish culture.<br />  Overall, I am very impressed with the product as well as the little extras that came along with it.  It genuinely seems like Zeynep and Yusef of Galen Leather care about making a quality product that will last a long time and want you to enjoy it.  I will definitely chose Galen again for other products.
