The love for fountain pens is not restricted to the pens alone. Along with the pens come the pen cases. Every fountain pen deserves a good home. Pen cases protect the pens from loosing their sheen by rolling around on the desk or drawer. Designed to hold the pens in various ways, pen cases are a treat to watch. Exquisitely crafted pen cases are a statement of good taste. It makes sense to preserve precious vintage pens in cases and boxes.

Pen cases are available in the shape of an easel, upright-standing frames, cheroot box-like cases with transparent glass tops, cups and many more. While the closed cases primarily serve the purpose of preserving the pens from dust and abrasion, open cases highlight the beauty of the pens on display and make the pens available at ones fingertips. Triangular-shaped pen cases with smoked plastic covers are a variety seen in the market. Pen pillows, made from wood and Wajima urushi lacquer are also being manufactured by Japanese companies.

Pen cases are made of wood, leather, metal and glass with detailed attention to aesthetics. A designer pen case adds to the elegance of the study table or an office desk.

Some people make used coke cans their pen cases or stands. But not the fountain pen lover. A person who loves fountain pens would surely find a suitable case to preserve or showcase his pen collection. Personalized pen cases made of leather studded with precious metals and gems are found with the affluent pen lovers.

Pen cases are used not only for display or preserving purposes. Fountain pens in lovely cases are a wonderful gift item. Be it Christmastime or Hanukkah, fountain pens in a case are a perfect gift.
