For those of you using chalk pouches...what brand are you using?

I'm using one similar to this: but I don't recall the specific brand.
It came with several different shaped holders. I use the round for Taom. I put it in my shirt pocket instead of my pants pocket and it works great as long as I don't forget and 'sit the chalk on the table'.
I did that but they all seem to get bad reviews from what I've seen.
Thanks. I'm using a magnetic one now but I don't care for it. Looking for one of those just leather or whatever pouches you just put the chalk in.
konllen one looks pretty nice. never used or ever seen anyone use one to be honest.
Thanks! I'll look at that one.
Got the Taom one but haven't used it, I would say I'm not impressed in the quality or size just based on messing around with it at home. Thought maybe it'd be a good option but basically decided to not even bother after handling it.
Just gonna stick with carrying it from table to chair in my hand, spent some good time developing that habit so might as well use it

I'm of the same opinion with the Taom pouch. It's fine for what it is, but I expected leather instead of vinyl or whatever it's made out of.

It's called a pocket and it comes free with the pants..
Wild Wing posted about what he’s been using for years which happens to be what I have used a long time as well.
Spend the money and get the best, at least it was when WW & myself got ours,…..Peradon. It’s made in England
so the shipping expense is as much as the pouch that excludes tariff. It has the best leather, pouch opening and
lasts. I’ve had mine for well over a decade, maybe 2010? It fits snug, pouch mouth is convenient & chalk stays in it.
Look at the photos illustrating how soft and pliable the Peradon pouch leather is. Admittedly mine is worn in a long time but it was always soft from the day it arrived. I recall ordering it after seeing Allison Fisher use a Peradon chalk pouch in a televised pool tournament. It was barely noticeable and so handy when she wanted to chalk. No walk to the chalk or hand carrying to put down to shoot only to have to pick it up again & again. You simply remove your chalk and just return it to the pouch.
Screw those magnet holders or goofy chalk sticks that can be like raccoon tails on a Schwin bike like when I was 11 years old. If you want a chalk pouch, don’t come back and gripe about quality. Just toss it in your drawer and forget about it or else get Peradon and tell others it was worth the extra cost. The TAOM pouch quality sucks and I’ve tried several brands. Nothing comes close to Peradon so the old adage you get what you pay for is true at least with respect to chalk pouches I learned.

Thank you!
My son gave me a magnetic gizmo that has a really nice rubber/magnetic holder for your pocket.
The chalk holder part is humongous. I was given a Taom magnetic thingy that had its issues/advertising, so I now am using the rubber pocket magnet and the metal chalk cup that comes with the Taom system.
The humongous chalk holder is in my case simply to hold a fresh piece of chalk for next years season.
Last 35 years I've used my pocket. So far, this is an easy transition and won't be destroying my jean pockets anymore.

Wife and I use ones like this. Very soft leather. Not as big vs the chalk cube as what it looks like in the picture. Fantastic pouch. I got it from England.
The US ones are hard leather and cut wrong, the front piece of leather needs to be bigger than the back so it bulges out. The pouches were inexpensive, but shipping was as much as the pouch. Do a search on the forum, I've posted multiple times where I got them and am tired of looking when you can do the search yourself.
