The case was formed in cold water and dried out slowly. It was lined in black suede and sewn together with black linen thread.
I did experiment with a two pen version that was shaped to fit around the leg but I can't find it at the moment.
There was another idea to add a card slot to the back of this type of case but I not had the time...yet.

They don't last forever, so getting a 12-pack was a smart move on my part.

Thought I'd add to the thread...
Depending on how many pens I want to carry and whether or not they are longer pens I use one of two methods.
1.) Spare microfiber glasses bag inside an old glasses hard case. I had my fiance run a couple vertical stitches down the microfiber bag so the pens can't rub and scratch each other. This works for most of my pens and tends to be the option I choose if I'm traveling for work and don't want or need to carry more than a couple pens. My Edison Menlo and Franklin-Christoph Model 2 are too long for the glasses case to snap closed.
2.) Aston leather case. This is what I'm usually carrying around daily. It fits very easily in my laptop bag for work and looks rather nice sitting out on my desk.

Frankin Christoph Penvelope Six.
I manage to jam in an extra Kaweco AL Sport, a Victorinox Executive and a LED Lenser P2. Sometimes I jam the Clairefontaine notebook in the front too.

One in the pocket. The others I keep in one of my Nadia's Pen Wraps, which I love.

Although not cheap.
This case has been amazing.
Porsche design case.

The microfiber bag conversion turned out pretty amazing. Not to mention, what a great way to repurpose. http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smil...:thumb::thumb:
And I think that Aston pen case would look good on anyone's desk. http://fpgeeks.com/forum/images/smil...ilies/wink.gif
Thanks for adding those pics to the conversation!
This is a great topic. Loved seeing everyone's daily carry. I bring pens to work all the time and having this 4-pen case lets me be as discrete/compact as possible.
The fifth pen is usually a "cheap-er" one that I would be comfortable leaving clipped on the loop or placed in my shirt pocket as an on-the-go option.
