Why I reviewed the GRAMS28 133 Essential Case Max

The 133 Essential Case Max is designed to solve a very specific problem: organising smaller everyday items that usually end up loose inside a bag. I’ve been using it alongside other GRAMS28 gear for travel, daily carry, and work days where organisation actually matters.

Design, materials & build quality

Like the rest of the GRAMS28 range, the 133 Essential Case Max focuses on clean, understated design. The leather construction feels premium and structured, giving the case enough rigidity to protect contents while still remaining compact.

The “Max” version offers noticeably more internal space than the standard Essential Case, making it far more practical for cables, chargers, batteries, earbuds, and other small tech items that tend to float around inside larger bags.

Real-world use

In day-to-day use, this works best as an internal organiser rather than a standalone pouch. It drops neatly into backpacks, slings, and travel bags, keeping small items easy to access and preventing clutter.

It’s especially useful when paired with GRAMS28 bags, but it works just as well inside non-GRAMS28 bags if you want to bring some order to your everyday carry setup.

What works well — and what to consider

What I like: build quality, internal space compared to the standard version, and how easy it is to keep cables and accessories organised.

Worth noting: this is a premium accessory, so it makes the most sense if you value organisation and materials rather than minimal cost.
