Pen Holder For A Notebook

[Cause]

I was contemplating getting this

When I thought let me check what is already out there and if its better. Figured this forum could point me in the right direction.

That is cool.

That would be really cool, if it will actually hold fountain pens, which are always larger in diameter than what they use in product photos. I would write to them and ask them to test their prototypes with fountain pens to see how large a diameter pen it will securely hold - at least .5" diameter, IMO (and that's on the thin side for fountain pens). You could point them at a Jinhao x750 - which is also on the heavy side - and ask them to test it. That would be a minimum size, IMO.

 

I have this (which will hold one fountain pen and one Staedtler triplus fineliner, but NOT two fountain pens) and this (the elastic bands are too tight for any but the very slimmest pen - like Pilot Metropolitan and slimmer - but the pocket works, if you don't mind your pens knocking around in there).

 

Both fit over an A5 notebook just fine.

Quiver also makes a sheath very similar to one pictured in Liz EF post. There was a lady in California who made fabric ones , on etsy, 3-5 years ago. I bought several and they worked fine. Unfortunately I don't recall her name or shops name.

It can go from 7 mm to 15 mm diameter pens, which should cover most fountain pens.

I have seen the quiver line. I like them a lot but very pricey.
