Inspired by Tony Rex's post (http://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/5850-Elastic-Pen-Holder-(Notebook-Hack)), I realized I have never reviewed my Booksling mini pen holder. The name is a little bit deceiving since it can hold large diameter pens. For the full review (all the pictures), please visit my blog but the full text of the review is in this thread.

I thought I would share this as it dawned on me that I have not reviewed it and I find it very useful. I have been using the Booksling Mini pen holder and works for even my biggest pens. It fits a Quo Vadis Habana just fine and I have been using it since 2011 with no issues. The pen is cheap and not why I bought it. I don’t think I have the pen anymore nor did I ever use it.

I like that it stretches quite a bit without damaging the elastic. It doubles to keep the notebook securely closed. It is a very simple design that works well with Pocket Moleskine sized notebooks but my Quo Vadis is slightly larger than that. Things I don’t like? Some pens like the Lamy CP1 are a little to skinny for it. You would need to clip it to the elastic for it to stay “secured”. It ends up being a bit floppy and so the CP1 stays home when I use this. My TWSBI 530, on the other hand, is quite happy with it. :)

I agree, these are pretty great! I have several I bought to use with multiple notebooks when I used to do that. They are very good and the elastic doesn't go loose or anything. Doubles as a place to tuck extra bits 'o' paper floating around. only thing is you need to remove them to open the notebook, so if you want something to act like a built-in pen loop, this probably isn't it. Otherwise awesome!
