My 9 Favorite Pen Cases of 2022!

[@marilyngardner4269]

Great video overview! I need vegan goods, so while the Galen Leather cases are lovely, they won't work for me. I have tons of Rickshaw cases in various configurations and love them. I also have a Franklin-Christoph 12- pen Penvelope in NWF that holds my Sailor collection, and I still use a two-pen Nock Tallulah for my work EDC. I'm hoping the Rickshaw / Nock collaboration may tackle the Tallulahc someday soon. It's incredibly handy for two pens plus business cards, or a tiny Mnemosyne notebook.

The Tallulah is a really good case. It’s a little big for my pocket, but I do sometimes use it in a bag or a sling. I didn’t include the older Nock stuff here, since you can’t get it anymore, but I also have a Coleman on my desk. I turned it inside out and it’s a great pen cup style thing. Also hoping that there are more designs from Rickshaw & Nock in the future.

I like the Galen “book” case!

Appreciate this one, over half of the cases I did not know about. Thanks!

[@inkdependence]

Glad I could show you some new things!

Nice cases. I own two Galen 40 pen case storage cases. 1 blue and 1 gray. I also have the lab smart cat case. 1 rickshaw case.

I love my Smand! Also been wanting the Smasta and the FC Penvelope. But the ones I use everyday are the Rickshaw Pen Coozies! They’re just such good design and value. Thanks for reminding me of some things I’ve always wanted, and introducing me to that Toyooka Craft box. That is handsome.

[@inkdependence]

Thanks! Those Rickshaw coozies are so handy.

I like the FC Penvelop. Been thinking of getting one myself. I am not impressed by the Galen though. I have the 5 pen Crazy Horse. I'm afraid the metal zipper teeth might scratch my pens, and while I don't prefer the elastic pen loops, two loops are better than the one. I pretty much use Girologio. I use the 3 pen magnetic case, the 6 pen wrap, and I bought the 48 pen storage case to I can use that instead of keeping my pens in the boxes. I had no choice with pen slots on that one.

Audrey has a smaller Galen zip case, and the loops hold pens well enough that they don’t move and hit the zipper. I totally get the worry, though. The Penvelopes certainly don’t have that issue, and they’re very good cases in all of their iterations.

I had to order the 3-pen Penvelope! Not only is it beautiful, but I have to support companies that offer leather alternatives. Currently, I use a Kaco 10-pen case, Chinese 10-pen roll, and a pocket protector. Not in use for now is a two-pen book strap. That Toyooka Craft box looks amazing, but I would prefer to find it locally to avoid the shipping.

[@inkdependence]

Yeah, I don’t use a lot of leather, either, and I really like an alternative like NWF. They also have some of the original model Penvelopes that are made in fabrics. I have one from suit cloth that has never show wear after years of use.

I love FC cases all the way. I have singles, a triple, a 6, several 12s and I just ordered a 48. They do everything I want without fearing a big scratchy zipper.

Exceptionally cool idea for a video, Mike-timely too. I finally snagged a Piquadro pen case on eBay-not the three-pen version I sought, but a nice two-pen model that fits a variety of pockets better. See you soon in Philly, hopefully!

[@inkdependence]

I had to look that one up. They look very classy! Hope to see you in Philly this year, too. :-D

[@Mensabay]

Great stuff, Mike, as always! Some very nice fully custom (yet cheap) cases makes Lepus Leather (on Etsy). A kind of old school.

[@inkdependence]

Nice! Those are a very classic style of pen case. And they look well-done.

[@kikaykrafts]

All pretty! I’m looking at getting one of those Rickshaw bags. Have you checked the Shibui cases? I love them. I’ll post my review of them soon.

[@inkdependence]

I think I’ve seen a couple of Shibui cases, but I don’t have any. Interested to hear what you think.

[@kikaykrafts]

@@inkdependence I'll let you know once my review is up. :)

[@fredcostas1945]

The Visconti pen cases were the best, followed by MarKiaro & then Pelikan. The Visconti display cases were magnetic & stackable, compact design, very elegant, much better than the pens they made.

[@inkdependence]

Those Visconti ones were very elegant. They were just so expensive!

I enjoy this video very much then

Thanks! I keep meaning to do one for this year, but I haven't accomplished it yet.
