I think i have narrowed it down to one of these two but can not make up my mind. What are your experiences with these?

I've been told that leather pen cases can prematurely damage pens due to the tanning chemicals in the leather. Not sure if there is any truth to this or not.

Having owned both until just recently, I can tell you that the leather in the Libelle wrap is softer, but that the leather in the Levenger has more character (the pebbling is great). I ended up selling the Levenger wrap because I didn't need two, and I liked the idea of the protective flap to keep errant pens from falling out if they weren't clipped in nice and tight (which DID happen).

 

Hard to go wrong with either one of them, though. Both are nice quality. I've had the Libelle wrap for three years now and it's always done a good job for me.

I have the Levenger wrap and like it a lot. I like the pebble grain leather and the plaid lining. Pens CAN fall out if not clipped in though.

Does the Levenger wrap have layer that covers the pen tops the way the Libelle does?

The picture would indicate that it doesn't. Which is why I bought the Levenger wrap from rroossinck. I like being able to get to a pen without having to unravel the wrap. I've dropped mine once and fortunately none of the pens came out. There were clipped in but I'm not sure what would happen if they weren't.

I've had this one from Aston for several years. The leather is very soft.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
