The Best Pencil Cases

The case is made of nylon that’s easy to clean. We recommend this pen case to anyone, including students, office workers, and more. Perhaps the only downside to the case is that it’s a little bulky and it might not fit in small bags.

Plastic flaps at the top and bottom of the case prevents items from falling out. A zipped pocket inside the case is perfect for small accessories like handheld sharpeners (we recommend the Uni Color Pencil Sharpener for colored pencils) or erasers.

The case is made from sturdy canvas that protects the pencils inside. The elastic snap closure stretches around the case and keeps it securely closed.

Global Art also makes Flat cases, and one version has a capacity of up to 120 pencils!

Like other Alclea cases, the Triangle is made with antimicrobial PVC that wipes clean with a damp paper towel.

Rickshaw has plenty of other cases to choose from (including collaborations with JetPens!). The 6-Pen Coozy Roll and Hemingway Pen Roll neatly hold up to six pens.

Its simplicity highlights its quality construction. It’s made from waxed cotton canvas sourced from the Kurashiki Canvas Mill, a factory in Japan that has been producing durable canvas for ship sails and truck covers since 1888. Its cow leather zipper pull will darken and age over time, just like a Midori leather notebook cover.

Each pen case is made from Cordura, a type of nylon that’s known for its durability. It also has a water-repellant Teflon finish, so accidental spills or sudden rain showers won’t get your supplies wet.

The CarryTite is made of water-resistant tarpaulin that will protect any supplies inside from the elements. Plus, it only requires a damp towel to remove any accidental spills or debris.

They’re not just cute, though; these pen cases have large main compartments with slim pockets on the sides for organizing sticky notes and other small accessories.

Be sure to check out other Cat’s Daily Routine bags for matching carrying sleeves and shoulder pouches.

Blue Q cases are made with 95% post-consumer recycled material. They’re easy to clean and durable, too. Don’t forget to check out Blue Q Zipper Pouches, which are larger and hold more items.

The PVC cases have zipper pouches, while the cotton canvas cases also have pen pockets with flaps on the fronts.

Kaweco and LAMY have similar cases, but we recommend Franklin-Christoph’s pen cases because their selection is more straightforward. You don’t have to worry about accidentally getting a pen case made for certain pens (for example, some Kaweco cases are only for Sport pens and pencils).

The case lies flat and has a central divider with elastic bands to keep your supplies organized. It also has a mesh pocket for smaller accessories.

The Concise Bellows solves this issue by combining a trifold flap with a zipper pouch. When you’re done using your pens, arrange them by the clips on the trifold flap’s elastic band, then store it inside the zipper pouch for security.

The inside of the case has a mesh pocket with a hook and loop closure for small items, and an outside pocket for pens you reach for often.

For extra protection, zipper closures, and more space to organize small accessories, pick up a Coozy Case. It can fit up to two Pen Coozys. Rickshaw also has Solo Pen Sleeves if you only need to carry one pen at a time.
