    I actually use the cases I make. I find it really easy to make the type of cases that I need for a specific task and it is really helpful. My 20 pen case is holding a whole bunch of my pens. 2013 - 233.jpg2013 - 133.jpg This was just the prototype case, but the design is the same for the other 20 pen case I have made.

    I like the basic design of your case but I have a thing against cases that allow pens to touch. How do you see wear on the clips being an issue with your case? A lot of times this is why cases have a felt flap or some sort of divider in between the opposing portions of the case.

    I actually don't have any problems because I move my clips to the side when I put them in so I put them all to the left and that makes sure they are unable to touch each other. I personally hate flaps, but I do offer the option to get a flap on my etsy store. I just don't like them myself. I want to get to my pens in a hurry so I don't like things that get in the way. You are not the first person to ask if I offered a flap Krazy Ivan. lol

    Haha. I don't know if it is actually that simple of a solution, but I know a lot of people like the flap. I am glad you understood what I said. I wasn't sure as I was typing it if it made sense. lol I will have to get a photo up of the flap in a case.

    Those are nice cases mate. I sew some myself, so I can certainly appreciate your work there. I agree with KI there should be a flap in between.

    I pack about 6-10 pens at work every day. I would suggest checking out the jetpens.com site. They have the largest selection of pens bags and cases that I have ever seen. The one I use is no longer made. It's a combination pen wrap zipper case. Now I wouldn't put my MB 146 in there, but it's great for my Platinum Preppies, Indian Eyedroppers, etc.

    I use my Montblanc traveller leather pen case and clip a second pen in there and I also use a four pack no name leather pen case for when I need to get my nerd on and have more than one fountain pen with me.

    I currently use a Nomadic roller pen case like this, but in orange:

    I quite like it. If it matters, though, it is advertised in many places as a Japanese case but it is, in fact, made in China.

    I use a Nomadic case along with a Franklin Christoph fabric case for my daily carry to work.

    I have a Montblanc Meisterstück Selections 2 pen pouch with zip on hold for me. I'm debating whether I want one or two cases or the new La Vie de Bohème organizer with one of the cases.

    Well, for storage at home I just keep them piled up in my pen work area and/or in toothbrush holders. Most of mine are crap so that is not an issue. The rest (parts pens) are in indivudual zip-locks in a plastic grocery back plopped in a corner in a back room.

    I just got this case. I had to bid on the Pelikan T20 3x1 ballpoint (below the pouch) to get it. Unfortunately, it is clearly a ballpoint pouch, as only pens 5 1/4" long and 1/2" diameter or less will fit. My Sheaffer Craftsman (thin) is really just a bit too long but the Pelikan M150 fits perfectly. I actually put the clip of the Sheaffer in between the tubes so as not to stretch it. It is as shown here for artistic reasons.

    The case was pretty ragged, but I rubbed in a dab of SWIZÖL Lederpflegemlich (Swissvax Leather Milk in the US) on it and that gave it new life. When my M100 arrives it will join the M150 in there and I will find another one for the Sheaffer.

    I love the photos in this thread--- great ideas, everyone!

    For on the go, I designed/knitted these wearable pen and paper pad cozies:

    At rest at home, I store my pens in this DIY box I got from A. C. Moore, which I decoupaged with images from my favorite book, The Divine Comedy:

    There's room underneath the tray for pen-related supplies, too:

    I also have this wooden orca box (which used to have smoked salmon in it). It now houses 2 trays of pens:

    I received one of these earlier this week:



    It's a bit early to give a offer a full assessment, but it's well made, extremely light and seems surprisingly robust. I don't own any truly outsize pens, but it'll take a couple of Ahabs with ease; three "normal" sized pens are fine. Potential downsides are the lack of internal dividers and a very tight snap fastener - I really hope that's going to ease up a bit. A pretty good alternative to the usual leather pouches methinks.
