The same ACTACT range includes the silicone [ACTACT Stand Pen Case](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/lihit-lab-actact-stand-pen-case/), while LIHIT LAB's best-known case is the [Teffa book-style pen case](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/lihit-lab-teffa-book-style-pen-case/).

LIHIT LAB's Amazon store adds that the large mesh pocket takes an A7 notebook, 74 × 105 mm (2.9 × 4.1 in), and that the brushed lining gently protects pens from scratches, which matters most for lacquered or metal pens. ## How many pens does it hold? **About 12, according to LIHIT LAB and its Amazon listing.** That's a slim-pen figure: chunky clip pens such as the [Zebra Sarasa Clip](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/zebra-sarasa-clip/) take more room, and a few pencils plus an eraser leave space for fewer pens. At 20 mm thick, the case stays flat when zipped. LIHIT LAB's Amazon store says it doesn't get bulky and fits easily in a bag. ## Is the ACTACT Compact water resistant? **It's water and stain repellent, not waterproof.** LIHIT LAB says the outer polyester has a water- and dirt-repellent finish, so spills bead up and wipe off. LIHIT LAB makes no waterproof claim, so keep it out of heavy rain. ## How does it compare to other LIHIT LAB cases? **It's the slimmest of the three: pick it to carry about 12 pens flat, the Teffa for a desk-top kit and the ACTACT Stand for a pen cup.** | | ACTACT Compact (A-7687) | Teffa Book Style (A-7551) | ACTACT Stand (A-7692) | |---|---|---|---| | Size | 165 × 90 × 20 mm | 200 × 120 × 50 mm | 60 × 60 × 172 mm | | Capacity | About 12 pens | About 12–14 pens | About 15 pens | | Material | Polyester | Polyester | Silicone rubber | | Opens | Zip pouch with 4 pockets | Flat like a book | Pushes down into a cup | | List price (before tax) | ¥1,200 (about US$7.60) | ¥1,350 (about US$8.50) | ¥1,500 (about US$9.50) | All figures are from LIHIT LAB's Japanese catalog. For a hard tray-style case, see the [KOKUYO C2](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/kokuyo-c2-pen-case/). ## Where is the ACTACT Compact Pen Case made? **None of the LIHIT LAB pages or the Amazon listing we read state a country of origin.** LIHIT LAB is a Japanese company, but that isn't proof of where this case is made. Check the sewn-in label or packaging if it matters to you. ## Frequently asked questions ### How many pens does the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Compact Pen Case hold?
