My old case zipper broke and it was a cheap case anyway. I found this case on eBay and liked what I saw. The elastic loops are pretty big but oddly they even hold the Kaweco Liliput relatively in place because of the way the elastic bunches up. Not bad for $24 shipped. I like the size. It is a little bit bigger than my last case but it is not taller than a large Moleskine journal. It is obviously thicker. A good zipper on it inspires confidence that it is not going to break soon. Not YKK but seems good quality.

My Libelle case looks very much the same and I love it. I feel like the pens are protected and easy to carry to meetings.

Always sign your name with a good pen.

I'm getting something similar but it'll arrive next month. I forgot to consider the zipper. I sure hope I don't get a lemon.

For me zipper is just an extra layer of security. Between the motorcycle and running to meetings I feel like I can just grab and go in any orientation and right it at the first opportunity knowing nothing has come free inadvertently. Keeps gunk out of the case, too.

Well, when the zipper pull breaks on you and you find yourself using an elastic band to keep the case closed, I appreciate good quality zippers. :D
