Pen case

Hey pen crew. In the market for a one- or two-pen case that I can use to haul my pens around in my bag. I like the MontB ones but they seem awfully expensive for what they are

Thinking of price range of $100-200 max and am looking for highest quality possible - meaning it will last forever and look good along the way (just like a Rolex).

Appreciate any thoughts, recommendations, stories etc - thank you

Check out Pelican’s line of cases. Top notch but much less than MB.

I've ordered 2 Galen Leather cases and am very pleased. High quality, lots of sizes and color choices.

After a lot of trial and error, I settled on some Dee Charles cases. Thick leather and won't scratch your pens. Not crazy expensive either. I have a ton of fully plated pens and have had issues with fine scratches even with a pilot soft pen roll to the point I lined it with alcantara.

I swear by the Visconti leather pen cases. I have the 1, 3 and 6 and they’ve been in daily use for decades. For some reason they all seem to have this natty script on them now, but it doesn’t change the fundamental rightness of the design and execution.
