Recommended storage pouch for storing chargers and cables: "Incase Nylon Accessory Organizer"

Recommended for those who are looking for a waterproof, sturdy yet lightweight pouch to store small items from gadgets to toiletry products.

Recommended point: The "Incase Nylon Accessory Organizer" with plenty of storage capacity is perfect for organizing what you carry every day.

The opening and closing is a zip type and can be opened on both sides like a book. In the center, there is a convenient loop for inserting a pen or a USB charger. There is also a hole for a small cable to pass through, so you can charge it without removing it from the pouch. Padded pockets are also ideal for devices that want to protect their screen.

There are a total of 5 pockets of various sizes inside the pouch, and the mesh pocket is just the right size to hold a MacBook charger (the cable part is in a separate pocket), and a small zip pocket. You can use it as an SD card, a pen in the center loop, and cables in the three rubber loops.

If you make good use of the storage pocket in the pouch, you can keep small things safe and easy to take out when you need it, no matter how cluttered your bag is. In the Wirecutter survey, I tried shaking the pouch vertically and horizontally, but the contents did not move.

Although it is slim with a thickness of about 5 cm, it has plenty of storage capacity, and it seems that it is a size that is easy for many people to carry.

The fabric is a poly-blended nylon, which is solid and sturdy. Some of the pouches of other companies' products were easily worn or discolored by inserting the cable, but this does not seem to be a concern.

Regarding water resistance, not only the appearance but also the zipper part firmly prevents leakage, so it seems to be a reliable pouch for carrying important gear.

Precautions before purchase: The soft soft shell makes it easy to lose its shape. However, the edges are solid, so it doesn't get fluffy overall and the zip opens and closes smoothly.

Size: 24 x 15 x 5cm

Recommended storage pouch as a pencil case that is easy to customize: "The Container Store Micro Mesh Pouches"

Recommended for people like this: People who want to prepare different pouches for small items such as smartphone chargers, cosmetics, and stationery. People who change what they carry with them depending on the day.

Recommended point: "The Container Store Micro Mesh Pouches" is a high-quality mesh material with some elasticity. It's easy to see what's in the pouch, and it's easy to put small things like pens and hairpins. In this survey, the pouch was the smoothest to open and close the zipper.

The price is reasonable, so I'm happy that it's easy to buy according to your taste, such as color (3 types) and size (4 types). It is also used by Jada Yuan, a travel reporter for the New York Times.

Precautions before purchase: Because it is a mesh material, it is not suitable for storing things that you do not want to see the contents. You may want to use black for toiletry products. Also, it is not waterproof.

Size: 19.7 x 10cm, 19 x 7.6 x 12.7cm, 36 x 26.7cm (Small size is recommended for wirecutter)

Recommended storage pouch for mesh lovers: "Vaultz Mesh Cord Bags"

Recommended for people like this: People who think it's a good idea to buy a storage pouch made of mesh material while keeping costs down. People who say that there are many large items, even if they are small items.

Recommended point: "Vaultz Mesh Cord Bags" is recommended for those who are looking for a storage pouch that is even cheaper and cheaper than the "The Container Store Micro Mesh Pouches" mentioned above.

The point is that it is a zip type, lightweight, and more flexible than other companies' products (it can be easily restored even if it is folded while not in use). It is sold in various sizes and colors (4 types each). You should be able to store things you use in your car, cosmetics, tech-related accessories, etc. in different pouches, and take what you need when you need it.

Precautions before purchase: Small items such as earphones and pens are not suitable because they tend to get entangled in the mesh holes. Not waterproof.

Size: 22.8 x 23.5cm, 14 x 22.8cm, 12.7 x 20.3cm, 12.7 x 17.8cm

Recommended storage pouch for storing cosmetics and tech-related accessories: "Osprey UltraLight Roll Organizer"

Recommended for people like this: People looking for a slim pouch that lets you see what's inside at a glance. People who don't need to waterproof the pouch and don't feel the trouble of rolling and folding it after use.

Recommended point: The "Osprey UltraLight Roll Organizer", which the wirecutter staff also loves to organize and store gear, is characterized by its slimness of 15.2 x 7.6 x 22.8 cm. The pocket is made of a relatively fine mesh material, which is convenient for storing cables, chargers, pens, etc. In particular, the deep pockets make it easy to flexibly store bulky chargers and toiletry products. Almost everything can be seen in the open state, and if you fold it in three stages and roll it up, it will be quite compact.

It is also attractive that it is easy to remove dirt. The material is double-sided ripstop nylon, which is smoother than canvas and ballistic nylon. Even if you spill cosmetics such as foundation, it is easy to wipe off.

Precautions before purchase: Unlike the zip type, which can be opened and closed intuitively, the work of opening it when using it and folding it again after use can be a hassle. However, it's easier to see what's inside at a glance, so if you often don't know what's inside the pouch, it might be more convenient if you get used to it. It is not waterproof. Some Amazon reviews have reported that the mesh broke after several months of use (although only a few).

Size: 15.2 x 7.6 x 22.8cm

Recommended storage pouch as a luxurious makeup pouch: "Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set"

Recommended for those who are looking for a pouch that looks elegant and has a storage pocket that is convenient to open the zipper.

Recommended point: The "Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set", which is a set of two elegant leather bags, has a large part and stands upright even when placed on a desk. The outside is made of Argentine leather and the lining is synthetic leather. The surface is pepple (uneven) and easy to hold. Impression that the seams are clean without fraying.

The point is that it does not lose its shape even if it is packed a lot, and it does not fall sideways. The clamshell design makes it easy to put in bulky items such as chargers. Because it is a large mouth, it is convenient to take out the contents.

Precautions before purchase: It is good to use two sizes, large and small, according to the purpose, but the larger size (17.8 x 30.5 x 8.9 cm) can be carried in a bag. It's quite big. The smaller one (12.7 x 20.3 x 6.3 cm) should be easy to handle. The larger size has one internal pocket, but the smaller pouch does not. If you don't use both pouches, you may feel that the amount is not worth the money.

Size: (Large) 17.8 x 30.5 x 8.9cm, (Small) 12.7 x 20.3 x 6.3 cm
