I use a handmade pen wrap holding 10 pens, a 3 pen lamy leather case, both carried in a school type pencil case.

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.

"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
The Otterbox Drybox 2000 looks like it would be good for four pens as long as they're not oversized. Hard to tell because the specs don't say whether the interior dimensions include interior padding or not (since some versions of some models are unlined).
But wouldn't you rather take advantage of the opportunity to tell everybody you carry your Pelikans in a Pelican? The 1030 looks like you should be able to store a total of six pens: three strapped to each side.
I know I already answered but just added something new to my pen carrier collection. I won this here on FPG in the PIF section and absolutely love it. It enables me to carry a medium and a fine at all times. Or one pen with a spare vial of ink.
Love this thread. Here's my setup and a bump for the thread.

I use a Pelikan 3 pen case and ever since the Michigan pen show I've been using a Nock Hightower pen and notebook case.
Got ink?
I use any / all of these:
my shirt pocket
pocket in my briefcase
three-pen cloth pen wrap
one-pen Piquadro leather pen case (soft sided)
I use my shirt pocket for my first two. Beyond that, if necessary, I use an Aston 5 pen wrap kindly PIF'd to me by Kurt S by way of CrazyOrange.
I have four in a Rickshaw Bagworks notebook, two in an Aston case, and three more in a Pelikan case. (I hate writing in one color all day long.)
I use a "Case It 3-Fold binder pouch" for my pens. It is great for a number of reasons...
It is well padded
It has extra pockets for spare cartridges, cleaning supplies, widgets, etc...
Big enough to keep note paper in
Small enough to carry
But most of all it was only $5 from a sales bin in a Staples store
I have received a number of nice comments on it from far more experienced fountain pen users than myself, which always feels nice

Since I got this about 3-4 months ago, it is all I use: a Nock case "Hightower 3+1". Good materials, carries three pens, separated, with a flap, and a pocket that can hold 2-3 Field Note (though I use Curnow "Backpocket") journals. This is the kind of case I've always had in my head, and someone finally made one, and it's only $20:

Jon Szanto, this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted when I found the Case-It holder. You just added to my Christmas wish list. Thank you.

I have an custom made 5 pen case made by renasanse arts (Arthur), about 4 years ago, and then I have a 1 pen case Markuro Italian made, I think that is the name?
