Looking For A Case For 6 Pens


MHBru

Recommended Posts

My desk drawer is getting pretty full of cases that hold only 1 or two pens and I am trying to remedy that. I have 6 every day pens that are in a daily rotation and 4 of them are Pelikan M8xx's. I've seen several zipper cases but many are faulted when it comes to bigger pens. I've seen several for over $100 too... There has to be a suitable option for less... looking for something that fully covers the pens, allows me to toss the case into a drawer and quickly open it the next day to select the pen du jour. My initial preference is one that opens like a book, has pockets vs elastic loops and a magnetic or flap closure (but a zipper works in a pinch.) Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.

Might a pen roll be a better idea than a case? Looking at your requirements, a decent roll would tick all of your boxes apart from it opening like a book.

Two that are worth a look:

 

The penvelope from Franklin-Christoph

 

The Visconti leather 6-pen case

The Viscontis are sweet but $$ and I think my bigger issue is that only the pen tops seem to be exposed and i have several M800s. Several items on the Franklin Christoph caught my eye. The penvelope definitely works but then again... so does their 7 or 12 covered pen tray.. :) My birthday is in a couple of months... I think I'll get that list started. :)

A company called Manhattan Portage has something that sounds like what you are looking for. They have a "halfzip" and a "clamshell" version. Both hold something in the 4-6 pen range. Denier nylon, multiple color combinations. About $25. https://www.manhattanportage.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=pen+case&search_in_description=1&x=0&y=0

 

I had seen them on Massdrop recently, but the drop has ended. Above is the link to the company site.

The FC pen tray looks indeed very sweet. I wish they would make a linen blue version...
