I´m looking for a pouch or case to be my "mini bag". It has to be small enough to fit my uniform pants cargo pocket (about the same size as on 5.11 tactical pants), has to store a tool, light and knife and some pens, and it has to be well organized so I can find everything quickly. It will stay in my pocket when I wear cargos, but I want to have something to grab and put into my bag or my jacket when I wear jeans. So, to shorten it: I want an EDC pocket organizer!
I watched roz´s great review of the Maxpedition EDC organizer, and really like it. I think she´s on this forum too, so maybe she will join this discussion here. I hope so, that girl knows how to review bags :tu: :tu: :tu:
Ok, my thoughts on some options I found:
1. Bills Urban Wallet
It has a slot that will fit the tool, and a second one to fit a small knive or light. It has 2 pockets, so I guess I could use one for a light and two spare batteries, and one for pen and paper - I have Zebra Mini gel pens, so they will fit. Maybe even my beloved Zebra F-301, the case does not look too small. Reviews on this thing are great, price is OK. Does anyone have one and can share his experiences? Will it stand to EDC duty for a while?
2. Maxpedition EDC organizer
It´s large, it´s heavy duty, it´s Maxpedition. I know this thing will take some use and abuse. Everything I need will fit, but it seems to be too large. I guess it will not fit the cargo pockets, and it will add quite some bulk to a jacket too. So it seems to be perfect for duty IN a bag to organize stuff, but too large to be carried in clothes. Am I wrong? I do not like tactical look, but it is OK on something to be carried invisible.
3. Countycomm EDC organizer
Cheaper, lighter duty organizer in the same style as the Maxpedition one. A little smaller, so maybe better for EDC. Countycomm does not ship to Europe, so getting it is a little tricky.
4. Nomadic PD-03 Upright Stand Pencil Case
A pencil case from Japan, found on Jetpens. It seems to be perfect to carry a MT and a light in the tow inside pockets and some pens in the smalle pockets. It´s quite inexpensive too, but maybe I´m totally wrong. I like the look somehow, they have some clever cases on Jetpens!
5. Anything else
What do you guys use? Any ideas on other options?`

Frankly though, I have found very similar models at the local surplus store for even less.

Okay, that's my two cents. Shutting up now.
On a different note, Mike 56 mentioned camera cases. I must say that I love this idea too. I got one that holds my phone, cards, cash, pocket knife, pen, and mp3 player. It's not too big and fits right on my belt...I use that especially when I'm on my bike without my bag. Comes in handy.
Let us know what you decide.

you might give the Spec-Ops organizer a try. They are sized between the Maxpedition and the County.Com

+1 on the Spec-Ops. :tu:
Post by: nuphoria on August 10, 2009, 07:35:56 PM
It can fit quite a lot in it and so far I have not seen any obvious wear to it after carrying it around for a few months. Bill can and will make you a custom version if your needs are different than the standard model too. It's also pretty low profile compared to the other pocket organisers.
Post by: Benner on August 10, 2009, 07:46:07 PM
I think this lot have covered all the maxped and spec-ops types out there at the moment so I'll just comment on Bills urban wallet. :)

The only wear I had with mine was a bit of fraying inside the zip. Burnt it off with a lighter and it's sorted. :tu:

I recall some people who found it a little too big for their cargo pants. Other had no problem with it.
Just mentioning in case that's a concern.
Another one is the Condor Pocket Pouch (http://www.vtarmynavy.com/pocket-pouch.htm). It's cheap, and some people find it good enough for their uses. It's definitely not nearly as rugged as the Maxped or Spec-Ops though.

Maxpedition was to big so I sold it...the CC is alright to! I just wish they had double zippers like the Max has.

the condor pouch might be a good option too. just really depends on what you will need. but i'd still say look at nite-ize. they have an ass load of stuff that might work for you
+1
My nite-ize Pockits currently holds my swisstool and its bits, a led torch, a nailfile, some paper scraps, a pen, a pencil, two cellphones and a BT headset, a paper measurement tape and a Band-aid. A little heavy (for its size, and filled), but well organized and -obviously- compact.

I ordered one of the Nomadic brand pencil cases from Jetpens. According to the website Nomadic is speSmurfpillsed in highly organized cases, offering a wide range of pencilcases.
My brand new Nomadic case was less than 10 bucks, and has lots of pockets to organize pens and accesories. Or, in my case, EDC stuff!
Case (filled)
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3472/3824060216_648b5550af.jpg)
It has one outside pocket with a mesh part and a large zipper. Pens can be stored there, or maybe a ruler or something of that size...
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2593/3824060706_367bcd527d.jpg)
On the inside, on the right side, there are three pockets. The large one in the back will fit pens, but it will also hold a large MT - my Spirit fits with ease! The two smaller pockets will hold erasers and ink refills - or, as you can see on the picture, a Fenix 1 CR123 light AND my Juice SC2!
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3571/3824061578_aa92d3a39f.jpg)
On the left side, there are 5 pockets. Two large in the back for pens or my Spyderco Police or any other large folding knife. A 2 AA flashlight will fit there too. The three smaller pockets are perfect for accesories. A Fenix E01 light, a Vic classic and a mini fountain pen.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3473/3824062012_6a8238d752.jpg)
A last pocket in the middle fits a Sharpie! (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2513/3823259375_f44ba49233.jpg)
Mine is orange, for it´s easier to find when lost and the color is not important for pocketcarry. The color makes it easier to find items in darker places.
I carry it in my cargo pockets, filled with:
3 Zebra pens (301 line, 1 gel, 1 ballpoint, mechanical pencil)
2 Uniball powertank pressurized pens
1 Sharpie
Juice SC2
Vic Cadet
Fenix E01 plus spare cell
2 painkillers
band-aids
10 Euro bill
some coins
I know it´s not perfect, but it´s what I carry now. I alway have a larger knive in my pocket, and my wallet and cell. everything else is in the case. Guess I will get better one some time, but for now it´s nice.

The Khaki pants are my free-time pants, but for I do not have to wear a uniform I wear them on the job too most time. As you can see the case is too high to fit, but the pockets are wide enough so I can carry the case in my cargo pockets comfortably and close the flap.
To compare: The pants are Cop brand, and very close to 5.11 brand pants - so you can compare pocket size.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2556/3826626305_25c8373442.jpg)
The blue pants are uniform pants. The cargo pockets are way too small, but our uniform pants do really have small cargo pockets - about half BDU size.
The case will dive deep into the rear pocket, and for it is flat it is quite comfortable there.

You've probably got it all figured out by now but I'd say the MaxPed EDC is too large for your cargo pants pocket. Mine gets tossed in my work bag. It's got desk-stuff in it, pens, staples, sharpies, paper clips etc. It's pretty loaded and it's A+ for that use. As for jacket or pants, maybe not so a good fit.
I have the CC Diplomat too. It's a smaller form factor, softer, and will hold a little less but it might be the one for you. It's not built like a tank like MP but its a nice organizer and cheap to boot. But, you can't get it, right...
Condor's have caught my eye but I don't have one. Wonder if that'd be too large too...?
Hope this helped some. See ya Woz!
Hey, it that my Tinnie up there? Don't like velcro?! :twak:

Just found out more info:
DIMENSIONS 150 x 125 x 35 mm
WEIGHT 198 grams
I'm very tempted, and they can be got for cheaper here and there too - made in the UK so that probably only applies here. I have a couple of other Webtex pouches and they seem to be of pretty decent quality.

A Vic Spirit Tool

Creditcard sized USB stick (have another one in my wallet)
Spyderco Police full serrated
Victorinox Dual Sharpener
Victorinox Cadet
Cricket Lighter
Moleskine notebook
I have some bandaids in it too, but forget to put them on the picture. Will add some metres of Paracord if I can find some around here.

A lot of Web-tex stuff is British Army issue, so that tells you a bit about the quality and value for money they give you. I've got a couple of bits and bobs by them and it's good stuff. It doesn't feel as substantial as the Maxpedition gear, but let's be honest, the MaxPed stuff is a little OTT (not a bad thing IMO, I love it).
Post by: Viking on January 10, 2010, 06:07:20 PM
Just quickly loaded it up with some items, I'm sure I'll play around with the location and add and subtract some things. These are mostly back-up or supplemental items to my EDC. This organizer is something that I'll just toss in whatever vehicle I'm using that day or if I'm riding with someone, I'll bring it along.
Contents:
Zebra Expanding Pen
Zebra F301 Pen
Sharpie
Bark River PSK with Ghost Jade handles with black liners
Leatherman Kick
4Sevens Quark 123
Benchmade 1100-2 Tactical Pen
Ipod
Notebook
Fox40 Whistle
Emergency Cash

I have the CountyComm version, and it is a fine bit of gear. And I have one from the surplus store that is a lesser quality version of that. Both of these are great though, and I really like them.
But..
The Maxpedition is just so well built. And it has the multi-level elastic, which is just good design. All of the others are fine for pens and pen shaped items. Good for small lights and maybe some types of tools. But the Maxpedition can hold all manner of things, from MTs to cables, scissors to sharpening stones. And while it is a bit bigger, and not so good for a pocket as the others.. I think it is the perfect bag organizer.
My advice: get the Maxpedition one.. and then get the CountyComm or Spec Ops one.. and then get a few cheap knock off ones..
Yep. They are just like SAKs and MTs that way. One is just not enough. 8)

A very quick load out, lots of tinkering still to be done I think. It'll also take my camera but for obvious reasons it's not in the shot.

A few carry options, it even comes with a shoulder strap (although I think that would leap straight into the 'man purse' class) but this is just going to de dropped into whatever bag I'm carrying or thrown into the car.

Well I was in B&Q this morning (DIY chain store) and spotted this pouch for a bit under £4. Saft to say I had to pick it up and have a play. The Quality is nothing like what you'll find on Maxpedition gear, but it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart either.hmm looks like ill be going to B&G this am ;)

I really don't know how you guys manage to put things back into it once you have taken them out without taking the organiser out of your pocket, unless you have massive cargo pockets or something... Just trying to get a pen back into its elastic strap seemed to take ages.

Thanks for the Eagletac review link G-man :tu:

Yeah, the size means I wouldn't want to pocket carry it (but then I normally have a SAK in my pocket so there's not much room for it) but as I always have it in my bag that's not an issue for me personally.
Having the pocket clip fixed in place means that I can rotate the switch end with my thumb while holding the emitter with my ring finger and pinkie. Add a little bit of lube on the threads and it's now pretty easy to switch between the high/low settings.

If you mean daily, then no. If you mean weekly, then yes. With the exception of the magnesium fire starter.. I do carry some survival kit that sees little if any use. Thankfully. Unless you count practice.
But then my organizer is part of a larger EDC bag that varies from day to day... week to week... year to year.

No you don't. Wait until you see a side view of a zipped-up fully loaded organizer (or try to pocket-carry one). I can tell you first-hand that they're not so nice and flat and neat as they look in these shots when they're closed. :-\ Gareth's organizer, on the other hand, seems much more practical... :tu:

Here is an organizer made by Stormtracker over at EDCF. He calls these UNIKITS, they come in small and large sizes. He will custom tweak them to your specs.
(http://dizos.com/miscellaneous/EDC/storm1.jpg)
That looks amazing especially as it is custom built. Looks slightly smaller than the Maxped one and that's a good thing :D
I would liked to have seen a loop in the middle of the Maxped one similiar to this UNIKIT :salute:

Agreed they are not slimline but I guess this is dependent on the contents. When I get home I'll post some shots of a side view of my current set up :)
At the minute I am using this as most others do; I put in my laptop work bag and if the laptop bag is not with me the organiser can be :D

Here is mine show from the side, as you can see it's just to fat to go in a pocket.I saw these in B&Q today Gareth. There was no price on it though ::)

How much was it?

PS. Just checked the receipt and I was right.

£3.98 IIRC. :)Thanks Gareth :cheers: :tu:
PS. Just checked the receipt and I was right.
For that price I have to get one :D
Post by: cerbera147 on January 14, 2010, 06:18:20 PM
The current size is not an issue for me but I may slimline the contents to see what it would be like.

For me, it was all about simply keeping the stuff I tend to carry around together, to transfer from the Versipack, to the car, to a rucksack, to my laptop bag etc.
Is it necessary? Nope.
Is it useful? Hell yes :tu:
Post by: John on January 14, 2010, 08:30:45 PM
I tend to carry lots of stuff in my pockets now with the M.EDC.O I'll be able to know instantly what I'm taking out on any given day and without the need to turf out my pockets all the time,helpful when on a few occasions after sorting through my pockets I've found a lock knife in there that I forgot was there :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :D

It tuned out that the package that needing signing for was for another member who resides in Norway :D
The Snugpak was also there.
And the third package was something my daughter ordered from ebay.
I got bloody soaked and frozen fetching them this morning, and there wasn't a damn thing in there for me >:(
It's a good job the Toolclip arrived with the postie shortly afterwards, that's all I'm saying :D

Here is a comparison between the Max. 3x5 and a wallet I just had made based on the 3x5. My intent was to use the 3x5 as a wallet but it stuck up too far out of my pocket so I went to my local canvass shop and had the wallet made for ballpark $20.

The Micro does wonders... what you can't see in the picture - a chap stick on the bottom of the left side, plus a tiny flat wallet with some papers, cards, numbers, info, band aids and pills... and also, when closed, I keep my phone in the outside mesh pocket for quick access
Post by: N_N_R on May 16, 2014, 01:06:48 PM
On the inside I keep a few cards with important passwords that I shouldn't forget; in the zippered pouch I have an external internet modem and a flash drive; in the elastic loops I have some pills and as you can see, even 2 AAA batteries.
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg95/nikoleta_rangelova/150520141052_zps9a657cee.jpg)
There I keep some cash and the cable that connects my phone to the PC:
(http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg95/nikoleta_rangelova/150520141053_zps2d628521.jpg)
The coin pouch works perfectly well for a ... phone pouch for me (Nokia 5530). I've attached a small carabiner to the zipper and with yet another carabiner, I attach the whole CMC to my Maxpeiditon Falcon...

A whole bunch of these zip bags can only really go on a belt or in a backpack, defeating the whole purpose. Designing something that actually fits in the pocket is much much harder.
I found these on the internet, great design, but they use just simple cardboard for an internal structure. Why not use the space?
Below is a 3D cad image of what I would use for myself to hold a key Fab, Leatherman PS4, Tile, and also a slot for standard 1/4 inch bits or 4mm bits. This would then be surrounded by elastic the same way as this pocket organizer is set up.
Thoughts?

If it's just a light pain, do you really need pills for that?!

My pockets are all the organizer that I need for my pockets.
Anything else in there just takes up space as far as I have experienced so these pouches are maybe called this because they are pockets themselves that organize and that you have to carry and attach to something else?
More Organizer Pockets than Pocket Organizers?
Oh and you are Crazy!
Happy to Oblige.
Call me crazy, but why do so many of these "Pocket Organizers" look like they would never actually fit in a pocket?
