Fountain Pen Case Black Large PU Leather Pen Case for 48 Pen

Please keep in mind that my assessment of this case is very closely tied to it's price. If I had paid $50-$100 for this same case (or even more, as many of the real leather fountain pen cases cost over $100), I would have given it a 2 or maybe 3 star rating. Having paid only $15 makes this case an excellent value because it is fully functional for many pens, but not all. For instance, you can't fit a Montblanc 149 in here, the elastic loops are just too small. I wouldn't even keep something like a Noodler's Ahab in here either, because if you do, then you'll only have room to use one side of the case, thus making it a 24 pen case instead of 48. However, for average size pens like a Pilot Metropolitan, Conklin Duragraph, Monteverde Jewelria, Visconti Rembrant, etc. this case will work great. A Lamy Safari/Vista/Al-Star is probably the largest size pen I would consider keeping in this case, and even though they fit I don't keep my Visconti pens in here because the material quality is just not quite as good as some other cases I have. Mainly I use this case for storing all my cheap Jinhao and Hero pens, and for that purpose (excluding the Jinhao 159) it works exceedingly well, which makes it a 5-star case in my opinion. If you're looking for a $15 case to house 48 fountain pens, my guess is you're not looking to house a bunch of Visconti, Omas, Delta, Montblanc, Edison, Namiki, etc. pens, you're probably looking for something to house significantly lower cost pens, in which case I believe this case will suit you just fine.

I had hoped to use this case to store and transport fountain pens. However, I found the elastic to be very tight and could only use every other space for my pens. Otherwise, it would have risked damaging the pens. If you have smaller-sized pens, this case is probably fine and will hold 48 pens. It's probably also fine for pens like markers.Also, there is some off-gasing of the materials, especially the elastic that caused the metal on my pens to tarnish wherever it was in contact with the elastic. I would only use it for very short-term storage for fear the gas could degrade the celluloid of any pens that are in contact with the elastic. I would not recommend it for vintage pens or any other delicate pens.Overall, not the bargain I initially thought it was.

I own mostly inexpensive pens, so I have no desire to buy an expensive elegant pen case. I wanted one that worked. That's what I got with this case. It works. I can get my largest and smallest fountain pens inside. They are all held securely. I filled it almost completely, with just two spots left,and I'm able to close the case easily. And reopen it just as easily.

Now I see why I spend so much on Franklin-Christoph. The elastic seems cheaper. Is that really leather? smells like plastic. There is NO space between pens. So they will touch. 2 stars mostly because there is no space between pens and the cheap cover. If you have a bunch of cheap pens, this is fine. But I am alternates slots to keep pens from touching. So to me only a 24 pen case. Just on that fact, $23 for a half the advertised capacity is not bad.

Having purchased many nice pens over the years, I was glad to find this case. The storage spots are a good size (even for oversized pens) and the elastic straps hold my pens very securely. I also like that the case is not fancy - no one would guess that it holds a great pen collection!

Great case for fountain pen collectors! Holds thin to wide circumference pens, such as the older thin Cross pens and the thicker Jinhao X750 pens. I will definitely buy this again when I require another case.

these cases are tops i have eight

I got this to hold my ever growing fountain pen collection. The pens are held securely and the divider keeps both sides scratch free.
