AUGUST 2022. Unboxing the Galen Leather Zipper Magnum Opus 6 Pen Case in Crazy Horse, my first impression of it, and comparing that with Visconti Dreamtouch (?) 6 Pen Hard Case in black "polished" leather (2019 version).
00:00 Unboxing
03:31 Comparison
GALEN LEATHER MAGNUM OPUS W ZIPPER
Pros
1. Self peeling back
2. Both sides peeled over
3. Removable hard tray
4. Sturdy leather which will improve with wear and time in the form of patina from the oil of your hands, dirt, and oxidation
5. Enough distance between the top of the case to the top of the pens making it easier for longer pens and provide a buffer for when the unreinforced zipper top failed to protect the tops of the pens
Cons
1. The material of the partitions on the tray is made of seems flimsy
2. The material of the partitions on the tray is exposed and unsealed on the tops
3. The top of the case is not reinforced, consisting only the zipper (cotton and aluminium)
4. More bulk and weight
VISCONTI DREAMTOUCH
Pros
1. Reinforced hard case all around
2. Sturdy partitions between the pens leaving no parts exposed with all lined
3. The zipper feels and looks solid and smooth with protection from rust
4. Very polished look (IF this is your thing)
5. Less bulk and weight
Cons
1. The top of the pens are very close to the top of the case
2. There is no removable tray, making taking your pens in an out a bit awkward
3. Front peeling only means pressure against the top of the case every time you access the pens as you push against it to get more angle. Again not structurally damaging but if you like your pen cases just perfect, this creates a bit of a "lean" across the top of your pen case
4. The leather will not look better with wear

Thank you Mike for pointing me to this zippered Magnum Opus, which I could have sworn I can not find on Galen Leather's website.
