    I personally don't own any that aren't leather. The two that didn’t particularly stand out to you are my business card holder (far left) and my 147 Le Grand Traveler case.
    I also forgot to take a picture of this nifty little guy. It’s also a business card holder that can hold a (very) small notepad and my 114 Mozart fountain pen. It fits great in a suit jacket pocket and it gets a lot of use.

    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.

    Thanks. That's an interesting material. Do you find it supple?

    Yes, surprisingly so. It's made around a fabric lining, so the cork is thin enough to bend easily.

    Lots of creative ideas there! My Kaweco Sport travels in my front pocket, so it needs a little protection. Thus I made myself a leather sleeve to keep it from being crushed by my wallet.

    I wonder if there is a six pen carry. I don't like the Franklin-Christoph Penvelope sadly. May just get a one of their neck holster things for my daily writer I guess if nobody knows of a better idea.

    Right now i am carrying six pens on me. Sounds a bit overboard to some I bet. But here is a list of the pens and how they are carried.

    In a 4 pen case
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    1. Falcon Soft Fine with Noodler's Liberity Elisum
    2. Franklin-Christoph Model 29 Bellus with EF Steel Nib and MB LE Albert Elinstien
    3. Metal Falcon Soft Extra Fine with Diamine Ancient Copper
    4. Franklin-Christoph Model 29 Bellus in Red with a Masuyama Needlepoint Steel Nib feed MB LE Divinci Red Chalk


    In a Franklin-Christoph Command Center Folio
    Franklin-Christoph 27 Collegia with a Masuyama MI feed Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng with a 25% Distilled Water chaser
    This is my current general writing pen. So it sleeps with my bound journal

    Running loose and free in my jeans next to my phone is a Parker IM 5th... I know Parker is saying its the next best thing, but I agree with Doc Brown, its a fineliner with a fake nib. On the other hand it works well for me, where some fineliners don't like my hand at any angle.

    If anyone wants to debate why someone needs six pens, or the value of the Parker 5ths. I am open to it in any medium including pen and paper

    After losing my Edison for 24 hours, now only certain pens are allowed out of the house. The Plumix, Hero, and Lamy travel in an oversized fleece glove kept in my purse, one to a finger.

    Yes, your story is what prompted the purchase of a the Collegia with its Masuyama MI... I don't want to lose even the cheapest of my Brian Grey Pens, not even my production Goulet cappuccino. which i am sure will be easy to replace as long as both Brians are healthy and working

    Adding for Clarification that I think is unnecessary but I want to say it anyway
    Any pen that I gift to a FPGeek or someone i believe to be growing into one (Like my 14 year old Niece type person) is not lost. It has been adopted into a loving home

    I am well aware I am on the Crazy Side of Geek. Deal with it

    Andersonpens has a 6 pen leather case. Also I know there is a far more expensive 6 pen case from Visconti.

    I use my shirt pocket, which God intended all shirts to have, for transport of up to five pens and a pencil.

    Daily carry is usually four units, as it is today.
    Clearly they had a higher and more comprehensive conception of the duties of society toward it's members than had the lawgivers of Europe of the time, and they imposed obligations upon it that were shirked elsewhere... But it is the provisions for public education which, from the very first, throw into the clearest relief the originality of American civilization.

    That's an interesting pack. What is it?

    My EDC is usually kept in a Nomadic PE-06, which is good for three average-sized pens on one side plus two more average-or-large pens on the other. I had to improvise a divider out of a thin sheet of foam to keep the pens on each side from clinking together, but usually I only have three or four pens inked at a time so it's not always necessary. I also keep a white opaque Signo pen in the outside zippered pocket for correction purposes.

    it's a tri-fold Nomadic from Jet pens as well; and you're right if you just fold them pens scratch each other so i do put a micro fiber cloth in between to avoid that problem.

    It's a Parker IM. The 5th I am playing with. I have that, a fountain pen and a rollerball edition. All three are decent cap wise for a snap on cap

    I have two things I use currently. All leather.

    One is this small Daytimer planner which is empty right now. I got this nearly 20 years ago. Their refills are now way too expensive to justify the expense. I have a friend who made me two hand made journals with hand stitched pages. I am going to give her some of my favorite paper to turn into refills for my planner.

    The other is made for a legal pad. I have had this for about 16-17 years or so and will soon be making my own legal page sides pads from some of my favorite papers.

    The issue I had on both was the pen loop. NONE of my fountain pens, even the Sheaffer thin models, fit either loop. Then I remembered wet leather stretches. I shoved wet paper towel into the pen loops and let them soak up water for a while then slowly worked a couple pens of different thicknesses into the loop. I left the wider one in until the leather dried. This is how cowboys got brand new boots to fit better. Worked like a charm.

    Soon, I will have a leather 2 pen carrying case as well. I won it from a PIF thread here yesterday
