Desk Caddy?
Well, it's just a fancy term for a 'Tech Pouch'.
This Bellroy Desk Caddy is minimalist, lightweight, and a perfect solution to keep your everyday gear organized. This is made of recycled materials including Bellroy's classic leather branding.
One significant thing about this one is its ability to fold open at an angle while completely by itself. This is the reason why it's called a desk caddy.

One small thing I low-key love about Bellroy's pouches: The curved top. When I'm packing a backpack for a short trip, I feel like I'm often packing pouches last, and the curve makes them fit just that extra bit better than a squared-off pouch when you want to pack them upright at the very top of most backpacks near the zipper. Nice little touch I appreciate.

I’ve been thinking recently that I could do with something on my desk to hold my phone, reading glasses, earbuds, eyedrops, iron tablets etc. This looks perfect for the job. Thanks for the review.
-
Just bought one during their Black Friday sale. I love that it stands up and it fits all my chargers. I think it has just enough pockets, for me other pouches go way overboard with all the pockets.
-
I really dislike how uninformative Bellroy website sometimes is. Like this weight thing. Or how it is sometimes impossible to determine what material certain color variations of products are made of. Just list the damn specs for each product Bellroy. That means fabric material, denier, weight, dimensions. Don't obfuscate it by linking to some BS "advertisement" subpage about your materials.

Have it in bronze and love it since first day, two years ago.
-
this! is the one i was looking for and since Fyro is not making a tech pouch yet, i am getting the bronze. thanks!
-
I am a .3mm pen person. I love the Energel .3mm refill in a Zebra Sarasa body.
-
Rocked a Uni Style Fit 0.28 pen a few years back for the sleek and minimalist design with very sharp writing. Switched to a Uni Jetstream 0.38. Feels much better in the hand since its more ergonomic. The style fit would be a nice travel pen though. Might bring out my old ones to use
-
Very funnyb review funny yet very useful and contains rich personal opinions, loving this type of review.
-
Love the Desk Caddy
-
I’m curious to know if the hidden pocket was meant for an AirTag or Tile…. Personally, I’m more into the Evergoods CAP2 guy but Bellroy is pretty solid classy design.
-
On topic: I’m a fountain pen kind a guy. Use Kaweco only with a medium (Lilliput brass) and fine nub (Sport Brass) Love grey ink btw.
-
The slim bolt action pen by Big Idea Design! It rocks!
-
If this ever went on sale I’d like to get one.
-
Aaron try the Alpaka Toiletry bag, I picked it up while travelling and it’s great as a tech pouch, even though that’s not its main purpose. Plus it’s self standing and the zip is lovely. You will like it. Bit small but somehow it can store a lot.
-
I’m surprised the evergoods access pouch never made an appearance for alternatives
-
I like it. I have an aer slim pouch though so can't really justify it lol. I dig the minimal organisation though.
-
Will you be reviewing the new Sympl tech kit?
-
Ook. I think you sold me. That does seem like the perfect size tech pouch for me as my Peak knockoff (Tomtoc) is a little too big.
