I've bought several of these over the years and they hold up really well. The only thing I wish was a little different is that even the regular Bic classic pen (maybe it's called Crystal, I think?) but though it does fit in the pen loop - it's a really tight fit. No way will my Coletto pen fit in this loop but then I did know that before I bought it and just needed a pen loop that would be sturdy enough to hold whatever pen I could find to fit in it.When all is said and done - if you aren't buying this for any type of bigger pens, I would definitely say buy it because it is really nice to have a pen with you and know that you aren't going to lose it!
