I finally got the Montblanc 147 Traveller case and it kinda sucks :)

Nice and maybe the most original design in the pen pouch industry

Don't know whether yours is a fake, but my one, from an AD is just as stiff. In a case that is built for travelling so prone to knocks and scuffs etc, it protects the pen. It is what it is designed to do. Supple doesn't do it. So the negatives you refer to IMHO come out as a positive.

Just a few weeks ago I bought another Montblanc Traveler pen with the case. Just like you I was curious it was fake or not, because I did not see any metal ring around the star and the star was not alined. I was just searching on the internet if my one is original; or not. Because you mention that you had seen ones without the metal ring around the star, I directed my attention to the stars in the photos and noticed what you said. I had never noticed this before. These cases were made to protect 147 Traveler somewhere around 1993-1997, if I'm not mistaken. That is why they are hard. If you want, you can soften them with bitter almond oil, or almond oil.or cream.

I have the case with the snowflake surrounded in black without the silver ring, and it is also misaligned. My case is also very stiff and I feel like it will crack, which is why I never use it. I have another single pen case with the flap at the top and it too is very stiff. Another Montblanc case I don't use because I really feel it will crack to to the leather being so stiff.

Some tips from someone who actually used this stupid case: You do not have to open it to take the pen in or out and you can can „clip“ the cartridge protector over the cartridges, thus fully grabbing them - there no point to this, but if feels nice to do.

Beautiful case. I have a Montblanc Starwalker rollerball.

I have never seen that pen case on the Montblanc website. Just an idea, next time you do a product review video do it without the condiments in the background.

Not a fan of Frank’s Red Hot?

I love the 147, but the case that comes with it is totally pointless. It looks nice though.

[@michelleashley59]

This has got to be the worst pen case design I've ever seen lol

[@Reflekks]

Hahaha yeah it’s so bad
