When I ordered this, I was originally expecting it to be a small bag for the 7 metal dice I ordered, but when I went back and looked after ordering I saw how big the dimensions were (totally my fault). Despite this thing being huge for 7 simple dice, it is an amazing bag. It is definitely self-standing. It has no problem standing when folded up, open or closed, empty or full. The leather is a very nice and soft texture. It doesn't really feel like leather, but it definitely looks like it and feels really nice. The inside is lined with this really soft fabric, great for taking care of whatever's inside. The string on the bag is just a normal drawstring, but the fasteners and loops on the bag are all made of a nice heavy metal. The design on the front is also just slightly embedded, so it adds a really nice effect.
Whether or not I use it for the dice, it's an amazing little bag of holding! Would absolutely recommend.
