What is the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case?

It’s a small zippered silicone pen case that turns into a pen cup: you open the lid and press it down, and your pens stand upright. It’s model A-7692 in LIHIT LAB’s Smart Fit ACTACT range, which also includes a Compact Pen Case, a Wide Open Pen Case and two oval stand cases.

LIHIT LAB, Inc. is a Japanese stationery maker, also known for the Teffa book-style pen case. LIHIT LAB’s Japanese catalog lists the stand case in navy and black; its online store also lists red and yellow green.

To-scale drawing of the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case: closed, 172 mm (6.8 in) tall and 58 mm wide; in stand mode, about 120 mm (4.7 in) tall with pens standing in it — Closed and in cup form. The width is drawn from a 58 mm retailer figure (LIHIT LAB lists 60 mm); the cup height is a reviewer's measurement, and the fold line is drawn by eye.

How does the stand mode work?

Open the zipper lid and press the case down on the desk; the soft silicone body telescopes so the bottom pushes your pens up into an open cup about 12 cm (4.7 in) tall. LIHIT LAB’s catalog puts it simply: press from above and it turns into a pen stand (上から押すだけでペンスタンドに早変わり).

A 2019 reviewer measured it at about 17.2 cm tall as a pouch and about 12 cm as a cup, and warns to open the lid first, or you may push a pen through the top or bottom. To pack it away, pull the bottom back out and zip the lid; LIHIT LAB gives the same instruction for its PuniLabo cases.

How many pens does it hold?

LIHIT LAB says about 15 pens; the 2019 reviewer put it at up to 10. Both depend on pen thickness: a chunky clip pen like the Sarasa Clip takes more room than a slim stick pen.

The reviewer also found the silicone soft enough that pens can knock against each other, so keep knurled metal pens apart from lacquered ones. Pens longer than the case may stop it closing: it is 172 mm long on the outside.

Which ACTACT and stand pen case versions are there?

LIHIT LAB makes the round ACTACT stand case, two oval ACTACT versions and the animal-topped PuniLabo range.

	ACTACT Stand (A-7692)	ACTACT Oval (A-7694)	ACTACT Oval L (A-7695)	PuniLabo (A-7712)	PuniLabo BIG (A-7714)
Size	60 × 60 × 172 mm	78 × 41 × 172 mm	89 × 49 × 192 mm	60 × 60 × 200 mm	72 × 72 × 209 mm
Capacity	About 15 pens	About 15 pens	About 22 pens	About 15 pens	About 22 pens
List price (before tax)	¥1,500 (about US$9.50)	¥1,700 (about US$11)	¥1,900 (about US$12)	¥1,800 (about US$11)	¥2,000 (about US$13)
Look	Plain navy or black	Slim oval	Large oval	Animal heads	Animal heads

All figures are from LIHIT LAB’s Japanese catalog; every version is silicone rubber. The PuniLabo designs include a bear, shiba inu, black cat, tuxedo cat, pig, panda, calico cat, Boston terrier, budgie and penguin, and the A-7712’s lid holds an eraser. Pick the Oval L or the PuniLabo BIG if you need to carry pencils or more than about 15 pens.

How does it compare to the KOKUYO Neo Critz?

Both turn into a pen stand, but the ACTACT is a soft silicone case that telescopes down, while the Neo Critz is a fabric case whose top half folds over the outside.

	LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand	KOKUYO Neo Critz (Regular)
Size, closed	60 × 60 × 172 mm	85 × 50 × 195 mm
Material	Silicone rubber	Polyester over a PP core
Capacity	About 15 pens (maker)	About 12–15 pens (retailer and reviewer)
How it stands	Press down; the bottom lifts the pens	Top half folds down over the outside

Neo Critz figures come from KOKUYO and its guide. Choose the ACTACT for a smaller, wipe-clean pencil cup and the Neo Critz for a fabric case with a front space for an eraser.

Where is the ACTACT Stand Pen Case made?

None of the LIHIT LAB pages or retailer listings we read state a country of origin. LIHIT LAB is a Japanese company, but the brand’s home country isn’t proof of where this case is made.

Frequently asked questions

How does the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case stand up?

Unzip the lid and press the case down on the desk: LIHIT LAB says pushing from above turns it into a pen stand, as the soft silicone body telescopes and lifts the pens up. A reviewer measured it at about 12 cm tall in cup form, down from 17.2 cm closed.

How many pens fit in the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case?

LIHIT LAB says about 15 pens. A 2019 reviewer said it holds up to 10, and both note the count depends on how thick the pens are.

How big is the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case?

LIHIT LAB lists the A-7692 at 60 × 60 × 172 mm (2.4 × 2.4 × 6.8 in). Plaza Japan gives the same figure, and Stationery Space lists 6.8 × 2.3 × 2.3 in. In cup form it's about 12 cm tall, according to a reviewer's measurement.

What is the ACTACT Stand Pen Case made of?

LIHIT LAB lists the body as silicone rubber. Reviewers describe it as soft and squishy, which makes it easy to pack but gives pens little protection from each other.

What other LIHIT LAB stand pen cases are there?

LIHIT LAB also makes ACTACT oval versions (A-7694, 78 × 41 × 172 mm, about 15 pens; A-7695, 89 × 49 × 192 mm, about 22 pens) and the animal-topped PuniLabo cases (A-7712, 60 × 60 × 200 mm, about 15 pens; A-7714 BIG, 72 × 72 × 209 mm, about 22 pens).

Where is the LIHIT LAB ACTACT Stand Pen Case made?

The LIHIT LAB pages and retailer listings we read don't say. LIHIT LAB is a Japanese company, so check the label or packaging.

Will a full-length pencil fit in the ACTACT Stand Pen Case?

Probably not. The case is 172 mm long on the outside, and a new wood pencil is about 19 cm, so it suits pens and sharpened-down pencils better; LIHIT LAB's larger oval A-7695 (192 mm) is pitched for pencils and scissors. We haven't tested it.
