This is a soft plastic cylender pencil or pen case. It is laminated on the outside with shiny plastic, and zips shut. It also has a carry strap. These 4 photos show the different sides of the case, with the partial cast of Sonic X on one side and the logo on the other. Look at the zipper pull! It's a great, flat Sonic cut-out of plastic. What a nice detail to add to the case.
