    Default Prototype Pen Wrap PIF!!

    This is a Prototype Pen "Wrap" which does not roll up.
    It fastens with Velcro on the flap and the pens can go right down inside the slot or clip on (depending on the position of the clip).
    The "Wrap" is designed to be used flat in a briefcase or similar. This is a trial run to see if anybody likes this.

    I would use it fastened to a flat vertical surface around my desk area, in fact I already have a wrap I am using that way, so that is a Yes vote.

    I can see how that would work very well ion a briefcase, I carry four pens in my briefcase but they are kind of wedged into place. This design would make a great addition for anyone that can use the flat storage such as in a laptop case or even a backpack.

    Very well done!

    This is wonderful! Like others, I could definitely see this being useful in a briefcase, backpack, or messenger bag. I love the interior fabric you used in the prototype, it reminds of the work of a local fabric artist nearby. -a

    Just like your other pen wraps, this is a really great looking one.

    For me I would still prefer the ones with the rope to roll around rather than the Velcro patches. Velcro is great and neat but it tends to eventually pull off with the opening and closing of in this case the wrap.

    It is sewn on as well as stuck.

    This looks quite neat for use in a briefcase or what they term a workbag for us females. Love the fabrics

    LOL I should have guessed that you would have done some type of reinforcement before opening my big mouth.

    Since the Velcro is doubly secured then next time I get another pen wrap I think I'll choose one of these as it would lie flat in the back pocket of my backpack (those were the days when I used to use a briefcase).

    I would be interested. My pen roll is hard to travel with. A flat one would be great to have.

    I would be interested in this wrap! I do not currently have a wrap for my pens and use a briefcase everyday.

    Can I enter on behalf of my daughter? She would love it and it would be perfect for her school bag.

    Brilliant idea. It would sit right in my briefcase and move directly to hang off the inside of my desk.

    It's an awesome pen "wrap" and I think my huband would like it and use it to store the pens in the laptop section of his bag. So yeah I would love to test it for you

    I think it is very very nice.

    I am not interested, as I already have a pen wrap. But I'm sure this is going to make someone very happy.
