How it's used
Distinguish between soft-sided containers and rigid ones. Use 筆袋 for flexible pouches made of fabric or leather, whereas containers made of plastic or metal are referred to as 筆盒. This distinction is strictly based on the material and structure rather than the function.

Common mistake
Avoid using 筆袋 for hard plastic cases, as native speakers will immediately identify that as a 筆盒. Using the wrong term sounds like you are misidentifying the object's physical properties.
