I have a shamefully large collection of pen cases, ranging from very inexpensive Japanese pencil cases to MontBlanc, Pelikan and Visconti leather cases. I have had my favorites, but no pen case has stimulated real aesthetic admiration like the Atelier Musubi cases that recently appeared on the market. I had seen their handsome journals at the San Francisco Pen Show, but I am not a journal-keeper. I do travel with pens in cases though and am always looking for a better solution. The ideal case will protect my pens but also be compact and light in weight. The Musubi cases are all of those and covered with beautiful Japanese fabrics to boot. The cases come in two sizes. I got both. They each hold two pens of appropriate length. I have fit a variety of pens in these cases. My principal objective in this review is to illustrate which case is most suitable for which pens. Let's see some photos. Side-by-side comparison of the two sizes The smaller case with pens it will hold. The smaller case will hold an OMAS Ogiva and a Pelikan M800 and snap shut without stress, but these pens are at the limit of the case's capacity because of their length. An Aurora Optima and Pelikan M600 fit in the smaller case with room to spare. The larger case with some of the over-size pens it will hold very comfortably. The larger case with a Nakaya Naka-ai and a custom Shawn Newton pen. At the time I purchased these cases, they were available in four colors. All were in this traditional pattern. I would love to see the cases in some of the other fabrics Atelier Musubi uses for their journals. I hope you find this information useful. Atelier Musubi's web site and store are at: http://www.musu.bi/ I have no affiliation with the company other than a happy customer. Happy writing! David

Hi, everyone. I was just transferring my Lamy Dialog 3 Piano White from one storage case to another, and I noticed that the pen has got these stains running up and down the length of the body. These stains are a bit of a surprise to me since I've pretty much babied this thing and have used it sparingly. At this point, I'm thinking that the staining is something that happened while the pen was in storage in one of three Franklin-Christoph pen cases that I have and use. Attached are two photos that show the staining. I tried to rub this off with some distilled water and a microfiber cloth with the hope that the staining was just on the surface. But no dice. It looks like the stain is set in there. Questions and thoughts on this: 1. Has anybody experienced the same thing with the Lamy Dialog 3 Piano White getting easily marked or discolored or stained? If so, is there a way to get these marks off? 2. Has anybody ever experienced a discoloration or have anything happen to the surface of their pens because of being stored in a Franklin-Christoph pen case? I'm learning the hard way that I've been quite careless in how I've been storing my pens, as I was assuming pen cases to be good enough for medium to longer term storage. Thank you for your help.

I am looking for a pen (pocket) case that holds three pens, and in particular can hold a pen that is 6.5 in length capped. Do you have any recommendations?

Does anyone know where I can find some plastic pen cases for shipping/storage of my pens. Like the cases Montblanc uses for their repairs. See attached image/example.

I have a bunch of pens which I'd like to display somewhere, but my budget is on the small side. Most display cases I see are $100 and up. Any suggestions for cheaper display cases?
