Compare the Anya Forger Face-Shaped Pass Case and Penguin Face-Shaped Pass Case from Spy x Family. Find out which anime pass case fits your style and daily carry needs.
Quick answer
Choose the Anya Forger Face-Shaped Pass Case if you want a compact, character-focused design, or the Penguin Face-Shaped Pass Case if you prefer a slightly larger, more whimsical silhouette. Both include a retractable reel clip for easy access.
Size and shape differences
The Anya Forger Face-Shaped Pass Case measures approximately 4.7 inches wide by 4.3 inches tall, while the Penguin Face-Shaped Pass Case is 4.9 inches wide by 3.9 inches tall. That means the Anya case is a bit taller and narrower, and the Penguin case is wider and slightly shorter. Both are about 1.6 inches deep, so they hold similar volumes of small essentials like pens, makeup, or cards.
The shape also affects how they look on a bag or belt. Anya's face is rounder and more recognizable to fans of the series, while the Penguin case has a softer, more playful outline that stands out in a different way.
Retractable reel clip on both
Both pass cases come with a retractable reel clip made from zinc alloy, iron, and ABS. This lets you pull out your ID card, train pass, or small item without detaching the case from your bag or belt loop. The reel retracts automatically, so you won't lose your pass case.
The reel is the same on both models, so the choice comes down to which face you want to show off.
Material and durability
Both cases use a polyester and PVC body, which is lightweight and easy to wipe clean. The PVC layer adds a bit of gloss and protects the printed design from scratches. The reel mechanism is metal and plastic, so it should hold up to daily use.
Neither case is waterproof, but the materials resist light splashes. Avoid submerging them or exposing them to heavy rain.
Anya vs Penguin: trade-offs at a glance
- Anya Forger Face-Shaped Pass Case: Taller, narrower design (4.7" x 4.3") with Anya's recognizable face. Great for fans who want an obvious character reference. Best if you want a compact, character-focused pass case that's easy to spot in a bag.
- Penguin Face-Shaped Pass Case: Wider, shorter design (4.9" x 3.9") with a cute penguin face. Slightly larger surface area for the design. Best if you prefer a more whimsical, less character-specific look that still ties into Spy x Family.
- Shared features: Both have a retractable reel clip, polyester + PVC body, and 1.6" depth. Price difference is small (Anya $13.20, Penguin $15.84 at current sale). The reel clip is identical, so your choice is purely about size preference and design.
