Looking at buying a humidor

Since getting into the cigar hobby I'm seriously thinking about buying a humidor to keep in my room. Since I'm always on the move between my home and college I was thinking about buying this travel humidor that I saw at one of the local shops. It's a travel humidor that would fit my needs and has gotten overall good reviews on amazon, but I want to hear what some of the more experienced members think? Since quality needs to be precise with a humidor.

Also on a somewhat unrelated note, since I'm just getting into the hobby is it a little too premature to get a humidor?

In any case here is the product in question,
