It does look quite practical. I have a rather larger zip travel bag I bought in Boots which holds everything I need but definitely wouldn't fit in a pocket. It does have a belt loop though.
 
I use a zip up pencil case for every day stuff and a larger bathroom bag for when I'm travelling overnight. I've always found with the specialist stuff that all the elastic holdings looked great, but never quite fit with what I needed to carry. With the pencil case and bathroom bag I just throw everything in and it fits, plus they're much cheaper. Not as tidy to look at though.
 
I think it actually looks jolly practical.

Not exactly cheap but not ridiculously expensive.

I tried to add one to my basket from the site you linked to but ended up with a "page not found". Disappointing really!

I clicked on Joe's Diabetes Shop then add to basket (next to the carry case) then click on checkout then there's some details to fill out but I've not gone any further than this - need a few pennies or a nice member of the family to treat me 😱
 
personally i think they are wee bit expensive for what they are
 
Apart from pens everything I need goes in my meter case - and that includes an old test strip pot where the used test strips and needles go - something that Joe doesn't seem to cater for. If I need to take my pens then I put everything in a man handbag (?10 from amazon amongst others).
I also don't usually buy anything from a website that doesn't include contact details (no email or phone in case of complaint).
