I've been using a four pen Levenger case for quite a while now. It's the kind that has four self adjusting loops (basically one long piece of leather) on one side and a spot for the tall levenger made cards on the other. I really like the size and style, but the lack of a more sold loop drives me batty. My pens can range from (this week anyway) a thin Cross Classic Century to an OS Balance or Sr. Duofold, and with this case, they can bump around a bit too much for my tastes. If this case had elastic straps I'd be in heaven.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good four pen case that might give me (at the least) an outside pocket for my Levenger cards, yet still allow a good solid fit inside for 4 (not 3, not more than 4) pens?

Thanks-
Brian

Brian,

A couple of sellers in E-bays carry pens cases:

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZcoastocoastQQhtZ-1
(I bought from them; smooth transaction)

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwkiffinQQhtZ-1
(I have not done business with them)

Also, I think Swisher & WorldLux carry 4-pen leather cases as well...

Good luck,

David

What a conundrum. I like them both.

How does the one you have handle thinner pens? Do they jostle about inside the sleeve or do they fit securely? I sometimes use thinner eyedroppers and ringtops as well as the larger OS pens.

I might just have to get one of each, as I like the zippered cases from the other seller too. They look like they would hold my note cards as a bonus.

Thanks for the suggestions-
Brian

For the thinner pens, the clip of the pen will keep the pen secure and they are well protected with the thick leather in between so they will not jostle about. The thicker pens I just push in antil tight without using the clip. The size of the slots seems a good compromise for most sizes.
