Pen Case?

[vPro]

Hello! I am in search of a pen case to store my pens.

I would prefer one with a black leather or brown leather look. Doesn't have to be genuine leather. I'm not looking for anything too pompous, just something elegant that can keep my pens in once place at a decent price.

It would love it if it had place for 3-10 pens. If it's cheap, I might very well buy 2.

 

Right now I'm using the gift boxes that the pens came in, but the gift boxes become damaged over time and it's rather difficult to pull the pens out from the gift box every time.

I bought one of this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Classic-Black-Leather-Pen-Pouch-Holds-12-Pens-/231387767154?hash=item35dfc92172) and I'm pretty satisfied.

I bought something similar on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/171340406177) and it works well for me. It will hold 12 pens, but is still relatively small and easy to carry in my work bag.

Well, you can have one made in genuine leather, but for a single pen.

 

My design, based on a Lamy's:

With the addition of that little pocket for a spare cartridge.

i bought the same one in brown and i like it

for the price it's pretty hard to beat

I really like that addition. Finding a way to store a cartridge has been a mental exercise ever since I started in pens.

And it's been really useful, Delano. Working fine and never letting my pen out of ink.

My first large pen case was a Sailor 100th anniversary ten pen case in a really nice brown leather. My current case is a Visconti 12 pen case in a black leather. They are probably both too expensive than what you're looking for, but I think a nice pen case can last a lifetime.

Not very long ago I think Fountain Pen Revolution produced a reasonably priced brown leather pen wrap. It looked rustic and I'm told was good and solid quality. Might be one to consider.

Just fixed it:

It was based on this one:

I added the pocket for the spare cartridge, as you can see.

I have several of these, bought one at a time. I intend to continue using this method. The zipper can be tempermental,

but the several cases stand together on a book shelf. The pens are well-protected and convenient. If you are currently able, get two. This is a very good price.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a lot to look into. Trying to find something that offers great value at a low price

Check out Lihit Lab Teffa Pen Case - Book Style - Black (japan import) at Amazon. The case isn't leather but easily holds 10-12 pens and it costs around $12.00. I just returned from a year on the road and this case worked perfectly.

i mistakenly seconded an ebay seller (pens_n_more) in my post above

 

in fact, i bought my case from wkiffin also

it was quite a while back and i got the cases confused as they are similar in design

 

i think the wkiffin is a terrific case

a little stiff and needs time to soften

the bands are quite stiff and i was worried that they would scratch the pens but they are fine

 

i assume it is indian made

I just saw a neat five cigar case made out of beechwood for under $20. (I hope the link works.)
