Cool Pencil Cases Brighten Up the Classroom

Generation after generation, we come to this conclusion: Every student deserves a bit of fun and color with the stress of homework and the classroom.

And if there's a way to keep students' interest in school, it's with a cool pencil case.

Now, CoolPencilCase.com lists the top five pencil case styles to keep in mind before the back-to-school rush. Whether it's a young student or artist due for some major academic motivation, consider the deed done with these suggestions.

1. Pop Culture Phenomenons
   Pay homage to some of the biggest trends and characters of today and yesterday. Consider these popular trends -- With over 700 million downloads, the Angry Birds craze can now be carried in pencil case form in a plush or vinyl exterior ($14.85). Legendary characters Mario and Luigi are also featured as ultra-roomy pencil pouches and, of course, bring a sure case of nostalgia.
2. Shoe Craze
   Sometimes pencil cases fit in three-ring binders. Sometimes pencil cases don't fit into bags. And sometimes, pencil cases are a perfect fit on the foot -- literally. Express individual style by choosing an out-of-the-oridnary shape, such as the classic Converse Shoe Pouch ($22.95) in bold, funky colors. Show off more personality with prints and designs, which will always be in style no matter the season. US Weekly featured the Converse Shoe Pouch in its February 13th issue as a "Mommy Must-Have."
3. Butterfly Pen Pouches
   Especially convenient for students, butterfly pen pouches ($22.45) unzip to reveal specialized compartments for different tools. Pens, pencils and more are secured and organized to any student's liking. Functional compartments also organize erasers, correction tape, and mini notebooks.
4. Milk Carton Cases
   Besides carrying pencil sharpeners, how long a sharp pencil tip will last is also determined by how it's stored to prevent breakage. Milk Carton Cases ($14.45) are current favorites for art students. Durable leather material and its roof shape protect sharp points and are easily accessbile through the zipper opening along the length of the pencil case or the bottom flap closure.
5. Pencil Rolls
   Pencil Rolls ($14.95 and up) are functional as they are stylish, featured in solid colors and subtle details. Suggested for teenagers and college students, pencil rolls are space-saving essentials that fit into cramped messenger bags and purses.
