Best Pen Case?


Tomewilkinson

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I'm starting to build my collection, but want to take multiple pens out with me, how ever, as I am a student, I don't want to be lugging around a large case to keep my pens safe.

 

So what would you guys suggest, I'm after a small(ish) case, which can hold 3 pens which will protect them from becoming scratched or crushed within my bag.

Hopefully something like this exists. If not, anything similar will help. And all answers appreciated.

 

Many thanks

 

Tom

I purchased a 3 pen case from Franklin-Christoph a few weeks ago and have been very impressed with it. The quality of the leather and the workmanship make the $35. cost of the 3 pen case a really great value. This is the link http://www.franklin-christoph.com/1-2-3-pen-cases.html

 

As a disclaimer, I have no association with this company - just a very satisfied customer.

Many pen wraps will hold 3-5 pens and they come in a wide range of prices. I have seen them as much as $50 USD and as little as $3.69 USD. Also they are easy to make with a trip to a store that sells cloth

I use a 3 pen Montblanc Siena case. Very nice workmanship and it looks great.

I have two 3-pen wraps and one 2-pen case. The wraps are nice but can be a bit cumbersome to open and close. The 2-pen case is very easy to use and protects the pens better than the wraps. The case is by Franklin Christoph. I highly recommend it.

I use a Brunnen penroll in soft leather for 5 pens. It is very nice but might not protect the pens from being crushed.

I just have this cheap 12 pen case holder that I got for around 12 (used, normally see em between 15-30 depending on where you get them).

 

But yea I'm looking for something nicer, this one is kind of a tight fit, but not too tight (mainly affects the larger brass jinhaos I have). And it fits in the inside pocket of my coat. But I'd like to find something a tad more secure (even if it's for fewer pens) and not something where the pen could just roll right out if I grab a case or wrap wrong.

That the make-up case turned pen case that you often see saying "Twilight" on it?

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

I have actually thought bout contacting the sellers the first time I saw them asking if there was an option without the 'twilight' word on them. (Here that word is too much associated with the Twilight movie franchise).

I have a Rosetta Leather 3-pen case, fits them well, easy to access, protects them well and only cost me about £15 including shipping from the US :D

Try Nook Co. I got a Sassafras and love it. Independent review here. I think they will be selling publicly soon.

You will find a lot of people, including myself, use cigar cases for pens. They work well generally and vary in size, cost and quality as you might expect. My daily pen case now, though, is a 3-pen case from Cross that will hold five pens at a pinch (but be careful lest the two extra ones fall out!)

 

Got it from ebay. Nicely made and tough; got another for my wife (single pen) and a second for myself. Not too expensive.

Third in the motion for the HighTower. Just got this last week and love it. Now, if only Nock Co. Can add a velcro strap on the side to keep the bifold closed, then it would be simply dreamy.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
