My 9 Favorite Pen Cases of 2022!

It's the first favorites video for the end of this year! What a year it was! All of these pen cases have been in use this year, though I didn't get all of them this year. It includes cases that go in pockets, backpacks, some that live on my desk, and some that cross categories! There are links to all of them below. It's not exhaustive, and it probably doesn't even include all of the cases I used this year. Who has time for that though!? Let's get going! What's your favorite pen case this year?

This video idea was suggested by AlltheHobbies in a Twitch Stream! Join me over on Twitch and maybe you'll get to suggest a video or something!

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
