What do you use ?

What would you like to use ?

Thanks

I am not using a pouch per se, but I am using a hard eyeglass case that I got at Target. It is pink with white polka dots. Very girl, I know. It will hold three 51s, but it is long enough to get a Safari/Vista in there too. Just not with those 51s.

I use this homemade solution. The pouch is plastic, out of a lot of 15 I got on ebay, and the notebook is a Markings from either Target or WalMart, don't remember which. Velcro tape to both the notebook and the back of the pouch, and voila! It is an older notebook, so the paper is good. I just got new notebooks right before the post came out on FPN about the paper changing. I hope the new ones I got have the old paper.

Hi,

I have a variety of pen cases, but mainly use leather cigar cases to carry my pens in my backpack.

Below are a couple of ebay ids to search on for some of the ones that are pretty good

I just received a Curtis Street Leather 3 pen cases from Paradise Pen yesterday. It is the first case I have purchased. Not having much to compare with I am very please with the quality of the leather, size, finish, & color(brown). I do not have any pictures of it, but they are listed on the Paradise Pen website.

I have a piquadro 2 pen case and would recommend it to anyone that can afford it.

I second that. I have not had enough time to test mine for more than a day or two, but from just feeling it, it is quality leather and will not only last a long time, but will age well, too.

My daily carry case is this. I did get it from this seller and I think he made a mistake
(that I haven't seen him repeat) with the starting bid amount. I got it for MUCH cheaper
than this current bid. It is very nice, the only caveat is the divider between the two
pens "floats" (but it is attached internally).

I liked the 2 pen case well enough to also get the 12 pen leather zip model. It is also VERY nice
and FYI, his best offer window is automatically set up to accept a bid of $15.00. So for $20
I got a VERY black leather 12 pen zip case.

I use a 3 tube leather cigar case.

I have a 3 pen and a 2 pen Visconti pen pouch.
A 3 pen MB pouch in which my le grand set rests in and a 1 pen MB pouch in which my Yehudi Menuhin rests.
Besides that I've got a 2 pen case with my 2 duofold oranges but that one stays home at my desk.

I also have a Castelein&Berends pen pouch for my cross century II penset.

I second this case. It's beautiful, easy-to-use, and compact. Unfortunately, it's pricey.

Yesterday, a terrible thing happened :

My Montegrappa BP unscrewed in my jacket's pocket.

Luckily, it only soiled the inside of the pocket.

Conclusion = I deadly need a pouch.

What brands are the best ?

Does Montblanc sucks ? Montergrappa is better ?

May be a brand making leather good would be a better deal than a pen maker ?

Thanks

I carry a pouch made of black cotton fabric with blue cross stitched patterns on it. I bought it from a Hmong lady at the Blueberry Festival in Ely MN. The thing has zippered pockets within zippered pockets. It is big enough to carry a small notebook, glasses case, loupe, and a double handful of FPs straight from the wild.

Sometimes a guy will ask me if "that thing" is a "man purse", whatever the hell that is. I tell him, "No, it is a possibles bag." Others ask me if I'm carrying a gun in there. I tell them I don't need a gun; I am still spry enough to outrun a jealous husband.

I use a Watterman 3 pen case which resembles a 3 tube cigar case, it is excelent as it does not allow for the pens to touch together

I use a leather pen case which can fit two Parkers. It was a corporate giveaway which my dad gave me. For my Inoxcroms, I use one of the plastic Inoxcrom cases which usually have the more expensive pens. I took out the foam and now, three fat pens can fit there.

If I need crush protection, that inside a Pelican (NOT Pelikan) case

My very generous girlfriend gave me a two pen Delta Dolcevita case in the orange leather. Absolutely loverly but too nice to let it stray from my desk or be in a decent briefcase. (I'm quite, no very, fussy about not letting the smooth leather finish scratch or stain)! So in a way it creates just as much 'worry factor' work for me to look after it as I would have to do for the pens inside. Also not cheap (about £60) but I love mine.

I have a Lamy 2-pen case that is in the mail as we speak. . . When it arrives Friday I'll be sure to chime in on my thoughts about it.

I have a two pen case that came with a Libelle pen that I bought. I was very surprised when I got this case because it is a lot nicer than the twenty five dollar pen that came with it. And while it is open on both ends the pens are held very secure in to leather pen loops.

I saw a good looking Dupont pouch for 1 pen at 53 euros instead of 80 euros.

Is Dupont using good leather?

Here are my two Piquardo cases. I also have two Aston Leather cases. By the way, I commented on this in an earlier thread, but one of the members here, Jelly Belly called Joon and found that Piquadro is discontinuing all of their pen cases. Better get yours now.

I use a Lamy 2-pen leather case. They work well for Safaris and an occasional the Lamy 2000. But the Piquandro is absolutely mouthwatering.

Update: My case has arrived, and I like it a lot. It seems sturdily build, it holds pens of varying sizes securely, and it looks great. My one complaint would be that the leather is a little thick for the clips of some pens (specifically a couple of my cheap Hero pens). Other than that, it's great!
