Reddit mentions: The best desk supplies holders & dispensers

TL;DR: It's helped me a lot. Start simple and adapt it to your needs as you go. Always have it open in a high traffic/good view area. Feel free to ask me any questions.

BLOCK OF TEXT:

I was skeptical, but so far I am going 2 months strong. I used this notebook. I like it cuz it's graph paper and it is smaller than a normal notebook.

My Setup:

The worst part is the set up. Numbering the pages was kind of brutal, but once that's over, it's pretty simple. At least for me... I shy away from all the artsy stuff I've seen online. I find that overwhelming, so I stick more closely to the original idea of it. As far as the planner side of it, I started out with just the Future Log, Monthly, and Daily approach. After the first week or so, I replaced the "dailies" with a "weekly" view that works for me. The best part of this is that it is so flexible that you can change it to serve your needs as you go.

How I don't forget about it:

• I always carry it with me wherever I go. I was already carrying a bright orange backpack with all my "backups" anyway, so I just put it in there.
  
• The first thing I do when I get home or get to work is I open it up to "today" and place it on my desk so it is constantly in my view.
  
  How it helps me:
  
  
• Work: I write down what I want to get done that day and since it is always in view it helps me come back when I lose focus/get sidetracked. I also got rid of all other notebooks/post its, so every time I have to write something down, I have to use it/look at it. I have a page dedicated to work notes, but all tasks go in my "Daily/Today"
  
• If there's something that I need to do before I leave home/work, or if there's something I need to bring with me that's unusual, I write it in and then I put my keys (and the object) under it so I have to look at it and remember.
  
• Drive Home to/from Work: If I need to pick something on the way, I add a task to write the location/object on the back of my hand... o.o I wish I were kidding, but since I can't have the notebook open while I drive this is the only thing that works for me.
  
• Anytime I decide (or magically remember) that something needs to be done or an event gets scheduled, I add a task for it. Since I got rid of all other notebooks, there's only one place to go! At this time I decide if it needs to be done today, this week, this month, or at some point in my lifetime (Future Log) and get added to the appropriate TODO list.
  
• It helps me remember/plan better for what is happening the next week when I take 5 min on Sunday to copy down events from the Monthly to the new Weekly. My weekly template consist of making 7 lines across two pages to make 10 boxes. I then add titles ("Mon 5"-"Sun 11", "Chores", "Buy", "TODO") and that's it. Anything that didn't get done in my last weekly gets re-evaluated and transferred (see above). Sometimes I decide it is not relevant/worth my time anymore so I just scratch it out.
  
• This might just be me, but I love the feeling of checking the box once a task is complete. As stupid as it sounds, it provides small motivation to do something.
  
  Tips:
  
  
• Accept that it won't be perfect. You will make mistakes. That's ok. It doesn't have to be pretty. It has to be functional. If it bothers you that much, I recommend getting correction pens.
  
• Don't add everything all in at once. That's overwhelming. Just write down the main task you want to get done. Once you accomplish it, add another if you feel like it. You already did what you had to do :)
  
• Everything that doesn't need to get done today, can be added to a weekly or monthly TODO list so you still remember you have to do it, but it is not pressing/important. When I find I did everything I needed to get done today, I look at that other TODO list and pick one or two I want to tackle to feel extra productive.
  
  Other stuff I added:
  
  
• I got tabs for the pages I used the most "Monthly" "Today" "Work Notes." The index is great to find random lists/notes/doodles, but the tabs save me a lot of time every day.
  
• I also got these pen holder things to attach a pen to it. They look so out of place that it reminds me I should put the pen back in it.
  
  Misc/Disclaimer
  
  I think it is obvious that I am currently medicated, but I just wanted to throw in that I started using it before that. With medication, it has definitely brought my productivity to levels I didn't even know existed; but even without medication, it did help me do the bare minimum I needed to do.
  
  Anyway, if anyone has any questions or would like pictures of what my bullet journal looks like, feel free to PM me.

Hello Friend. I have the same setup, so here's a few tips that might help you:

Pencil/Case: You're going to need a place to put the pencil, and its great to have it always handy, so think about that when you buy a case. The apple case is super expensive and offers the least amount of protection because it exposes the entire back of the iPad. I wouldn't recommend it, there are better, cheaper options out there. I went through two different cases to find one that suited me best. In general there seems to be basically two styles of cases, bi-fold and tri-fold. It really it all comes down to preference as to how you're going to use/hold your iPad.

The first style of case (and the first case that I bought) was a bi-fold case. This case is best for holding the ipad flat (with the back folded over, or standing up on a table. I bought this one Ztotop Premium Leather Business Slim Folding Stand Fiolio Cover specifically because of the pencil holder. However, it turns out that it is somewhat thicker than I had hoped, and the style of case in general doesn't provide a good way to have the iPad raised at a low angle, which I preferred when using the iPad on the couch. Picture 1 - Closed, Picture 2 - Standing Up

The second case I bought (and the one I am currently using) is one that is made out of TPU, the same soft rubber material that a lot of phone cases are made out of, and has a tri-fold design similar to the official Apple case. The difference being it also protects the back of the iPad. After looking through a ton of similar looking cases, finally I settled on this one DTTO Smart Cover Case. It fits the iPad really well, its thin, and similar to what I have on my phone. Picture 1 - TPU Case
, Picture 2 - TPU Case Low Angle, Picture 3 - TPU Case High Angle, Picture 4 - TPU Case Closed

The only downside to this case is it has no place to put the pencil, so to solve this problem I bought these little guys: Leuchtturm 1917 - Black Pen Loops to stick to the back of the case. They fit the pencil extremely well and hold it tight. The problem with these is that the way the loop is oriented (and the side of the square that the adhesive is on) is the wrong way around. If I was to stick it on the back of the iPad with the adhesive, the pencil would actually "hang off the bottom" instead of sitting "up" against the side of the case. To solve this, I just used some black gorilla tape to attach it the correct way around. The other thing is found was when holding the iPad on the sides (with both hands) and the pencil in the loop, a single loop made the pencil wobble around when trying to hold it. I added a second loop for improved stability, and it feels excellent. I can understand if maybe the gorilla tape thing isn't your style, but it honestly doesn't look bad in real life and the usability and strength is top notch. Picture 1 - Back of Case
, Picture 2 - Strong Loops

Apps: Others have more to offer here, but here's my $0.02:

• Reddit Client - Apollo (will have more iPad functionality to come, but extremely promising
  
• Copying Files - Readdle Documents 6
  
• Ad-Blocker for Safari - There are many good options, but I use Adguard and have been happy with it
  
  Other usability things
  
  
• Be sure to add the battery widget to your widgets screen (left of home screen) so you can see the current battery % of the apple pencil
  
• If you don't already, learn to use the dock as much as possible, putting commonly used apps near each other. For example, for me it is common to flip between safari, Apollo, gmail, and messaging apps, and settings. These are all on my dock, and I can bring them up from inside any other apps with just a quick swipe. It is a "new" great feature on the iPad and makes multitasking much easier. Remember, you can also create folders on the dock.
  
• Unless you're doing color-accurate work, enable TrueTone, it makes colors look nice by adjusting the white balance of the display to match the ambient light in the room.
  
• Before using the apple pencil, wipe the tip off on your shirt or pants. It's a really quick thing to do and will make sure there's no small piece of dirt or sand on the tip which could scratch your screen. Some people like screen protectors, but personally I'm not a fan because they either degrade the image quality by causing rainbow effects or grainyness, reduce the contrast, or in the case of the tempered screen protectors, you lose the unique anti-reflective coating found on the iPad Pro. The 120hz screen on the iPad Pro is incredible, I recommend looking at it the way it was designed and just being careful about scratches, dirt, and pocket sand.
  
• You can move the keyboard up/down or split it to the sides for easier typing on the large screen. This ins't a new feature, but wasn't immediately apparent to my when I started using my iPad.
  
• When charging the Apple Pencil, you can stick the cap to the screen just above where the speakers are. The magnets in the speakers will hold it there.
  
• Also in regards to charging the pencil, the connector isn't solid as it may first appear. It actually does have a hinge on the pencil side to allow the pencil to bend slightly while it is plugged into the bottom of the iPad. So don't worry, it won't snap off.
  
  Cables: I bought a longer 6' cable so I could charge my iPad on the end table when I'm not using it.
  
  
• Anker makes good quality stuff, and this is the beefiest lightning cable I've come across: Anker PowerLine II. MFi Certified, cheaper than the official cable, built like a tank, and has a lifetime warranty.

I'll just post in here what everything is. I'm very sentimental so I like to buy one thing and use it forever. The pens were the hardest thing to find in terms of what I liked, but this is the stuff I use everyday and love to death.

The leather case is from Amazon. Search Rustic leather brown pen case. It has some flaws, mainly the slots are too tight and the stitching doesn't go all the way to the bottom, but I love it. Looks great and was like $15 $25^^woops with Prime. Here is a direct link to it.

The VPs are both yellow gold, fine nibs. The grey has Pilot Namiki black cartridges in it, the black has Pilot Ichuzika dark brown in it. The brown is my top ink, looks amazing on almost all types of paper. The VP is my favorite pen ever made, though the grey runs a bit much for a fine nib. I love these pens, I have no intention to buy another anytime soon.

The pencil is a Kerry and has a pen-like cap that still works like a mech. The lead is a 0.5 mm. Awesome pencil. My dad gave it to me and I love it so much.

The highlighters are from Japan and have clear nibs so I can see as I highlight. I'm in law school and go through a hell of a lot of highlighters, so these are my favorite. I couldn't give you a brand, I get these locally. These are almost exactly the same thing.

Anyway, that's my stuff. I'm very passionate about my stuff, so I hope you like my EDC as much as I do.

1. I'd go with the 256, I'm at 61 gigs and I don't feel like I have a ton of stuff on it. I've had the iPad Pro since the new ones came out this summer if that gives you any idea of how much junk I could have put on it (almost all of it is college stuff.)
   
   
2. I wouldn't wait. The new iPad Pro has been a game changer for me since the summer semester (philosophy undergrad). I still love real books, there's something to be said for holding an actual book in your hands and highlighting it and taking notes in the margins, but for taking in-class notes and notes on articles and PDFs I can't imagine going back to the way I used to do it. Even the notes I take on real books make their way to my iPad.
   
   
3. Since you already have a laptop I wouldn't recommend the keyboard at all. I have one that I carry with me (Logitech K811) and I rarely use it unless I'm at the library. It's just not as convenient in class with small desks and whatnot. The Apple pencil feels thin and slippery to me so I use this and put it in this. I also love fountain pens, so it's a nice little case for a few pens, my head phones, and charger.
   
   
4. I use a screen protector, it makes the Apple Pencil feel more like it's writing on paper - a little bit of feedback against it's normal smoothness. Plus I have a little peace of mind in case of accidents.
   
   
5. I use this case and I just throw it into my satchel/laptop bag/manbag and I feel totally comfortable that it's protected.
   
   With lots of paper readings/highlights may I recommend LiquidText. The annotations on that app are amazing. I use Notability for just about everything else.

A couple I can recommend and stay away from.

Pen loop I was going to use Leuchtturm ones but found these work great for securing the pencil to a Smart Cover. I’ve been running this setup for a while and the pen stays in place. However, when folding the cover all the way around to create flat surface, the pen loop makes the iPad wobble due to the square. So not good for writing or drawing flat, unless you detach the cover (what I do when writing flat)

Pencil sling sleeve is what I will be replacing the above pen holder with eventually.

Pencil sleeve, while I used this for a while and it was okay. I found it to bulky and cumbersome. I wouldn’t recommend this in any way. I eventually cut it in pieces to have a pencil cap holder and a rubber grip for finger fatigue. This made the sleeve parts slide around like crazy so I eventually threw it away.
^Through all my uses with the Apple Pencil I haven’t lost my cap or thought I was going to so I believe the cap holders are not needed.

As far as apps go:

Note taking: Notability (tried 5 others to include goodnotes, one note, note shelf, etc.; and none of them either wrote as consistently or functioned as well as notability)

Drawing: Medibang Paint (most people would recommend Procreate but for just straight drawing or finishing artwork Medibang is way better)

Sketching/painting: Procreate (for simply sketching out or idea or painting Procreate is a clear winner)

Photo finishing: Affinity Photo (haven’t used much and still learning to use it, but the amount of features and effectiveness clearly stand out here)

Pimp my cube is actually a "kit" or as amazon calls it, a book supplement...

No matter what decorations you get for those stylish fabricy walls, you're gonna need this to hang it up with.

These are a handy passive-aggressive way to tell a fellow cube dweller to fuck off... politely that is. Or, take it one step further and get this Fill in the blanks and hang your current hatred on the wall for some sweeeeeeet satisfaction.

This little gem looks like a great addition while still being functional. Holding supplies and toilet humor? Count me in.

A desk calendar made of lego like objects? SWEET.

this should come in hand if you're like most of us and have sticky notes EVERYWHERE. What would be more peaceful than turning them into little cranes?

For the days when you don't have a spoon... these would be a great addition

I recommend this to keep spirits up

Here is one that I looked at that would hold 72+ picks for only 10.00.

THere are other nicer ones made from leather or nylon as well. If you're willing to spend 60.00 on a case, why not buy a pick set like this? They aren't the best picks, but more picks is never a bad thing, and the case would work as well, plus it's a little less than the SouthOrd case. But hey, go with what makes ya happy! :)

Edit: I only see 3 picks I would carry in the set with the case, though. Cheers!

It’s the Zilong Hard Shell Pencil Pen case. Currently on Amazon for $7.49. Pretty good case, isn’t super bulky and is super compact. The netting is a bit tight and getting the Pentel eraser and lead in there took a bit longer than it had to be. Rearranged it a bit so it’s more efficient. Overall a good case.

No spare battery with the Storm.

I was actually going to get the Storm as it looks the coolest out of the three with the lightning bolt button. But I went with the Vapormate version in the end as I needed it in a hurry for a trip I was making to a friend's and I wanted an eBay vendor who could ship it to an Argos as nobody would be home during the day to for delivery.

As a bonus it was the cheapest of the three versions and although it doesn't have the USB port for charging (which is the reason why it's a good bit cheaper) what you get instead is a spare battery and a battery charger which you would definitely wind up getting anyway. I know from reading other posts that most people don't even use the USB port and instead use a dedicated battery charger as they usually wind up getting spare batteries.

Also get a hard shell pencil case to keep it in. I got one like this one. from eBay.

Here's mine in its case. Click!

I also recommend getting the glass mouthpiece and bubbler. If you get the vapormate version the you can get those plus a water pipe adaptor for around the same price of a Storm by itself.

Edit. Don't worry about the different versions. They are all made in the exact same factory and are identically built. In fact the reason the Xmax is now called the v2 pro is because they adapted all the changes that the Storm people made to the original version (isolated airpath, longer session times and less button presses) as they improved it. In fact if you contact the factory in China yourself and order a few hundred Xmaxs you can rebrand it yourself if you want and make your own changes. That's all the Vapormate version is. It's the exact same vape except Vapormate removed the USB port to make the production costs even cheaper and then put their own logo on it.

Oh sweet baby jesus I want that DVD. But even the digital copy would be awesome! Game of Thrones is the single best tv show in existence!

So here's some apple products!

• Apple post it note dispenser
  
• Some apple fabric
  
• An apple shoulder bag
  
• And I have to throw this in the just because it's insanely cute: Little Shopper Play set
  
  
  GoTS2DVD
  
  
  
  GoTS2DigitalCopy
  
  

WOOT WOOT! Congratulations! School was insane for me... I'm glad you made it out alive. What is your degree in?

Here are a couple things that might liven up your desk:

• Impaled Zombie
  
• He holds your keys. That's fucking amazing because I'm always losing mine :)
  
• Because Pooping...
  
  Note: These are just a hair over $10, but totally worth it!
  
  Surprise me!

Pretty much any cap from like a bic pen should do fine (I use one from the bic round stic). It really isn't hard to find a pen like that, almost everyone has a couple lying around and they're really really cheap. I wouldn't get the 800. I have the 800+ (the 800 with a sylus as well) and the knurling isn't as sharp so I can't get as good as a grip on it. I much prefer the knurling on either the 600 or the 500.

If you prefer a more elegant solution, you can buy a leather slip like this one for example and put the pencil in it so that you don't get holes in your pocket. It is more pricey, but it does have the added benefit of keeping your pencil better protected from scratches and wear/tear.

Yay, welcome back!

I haven't done a whole lot. I have gotten back into WOW and I have really been getting into MTurk. Making that Amazon money! Woot!

:o)

Most of the old-device-only stuff has to do with accessories. Throwing away two old connectors in one go was not the way to go for convincing me to "upgrade".

1: Get a flash drive if you think you could use it. I use mine a lot, second gen iXpand. With the Files integration possible now, it's very nice.

2: Logi Base is expensive but very nice.

3: Get a pen loop: https://www.amazon.com/LEUCHTTURM1917-304637-Leuchtturm-Loop-Black/dp/B002CWMAPW

4: Gamevice is very nice, whether for local games or streaming.

5: 29W charger is very nice.

rubber bands

my guess is 223
If I win I'd love this, it's $29.99 with free shipping

you could get this for yourself to help out with all those rubber bands

College Bound

I'm sure your college bound sister will love this however it is over the price so I'd say go with this those can be good for anyone college bound or not.

I would love any of these four adorable guys, they are part of a collection and I wana collect them all. Pink! Blue! Green! Purple!

Are you looking for something for pens as well as your field notes or just for your field notes? I got a new go-bag and needed a solution for my pens/field notes and went with a “roll style” pen case. I hope that makes sense. I’ll try and find an amazon link to it.

Edit: I personally like it, I didn’t ’t know how it’d go and I turned out to love it.

Rustic Genuine Leather Pencil Roll - Pen and Pencil Case - Dark Brown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q7B69AG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VTVDDb1D1THNF

The little angled desk organizers are on amazon here, but I think you can get them at a similar price in all white now. Wish they were available when I found them, lets more light through so its easier to see whats in them.

Those, like so much of this setup, have lots of zipties keeping them stable and in their place. I drilled holes in their back corners to tie them down to the wire shelf. All the hooks and mounts on the pegboard have at least two zipties behind them each as well. I’d bet there are over 100 in the whole setup, I don’t abide wiggling.

I use several cases for my tools.. I work from home, so I don't especially need one for when I'm away from home, but in case I do, I purchased this one, and I absolutely love it:
Homecube Large Capacity

A few others I have include:

LIHIT
(I used this one before I upgraded to the large capacity one)

4 Layer HITOP for my fineliners and muji pens.

72 Slot Pencil Wrap for my watercolor pencil crayons.

I also have two regular pencil bags I got from Indigo (in Canada) to hold my pencil crayons and watercolor markers.

Overall, I really really recommend the large capacity Homecube case!

this would be awesome. and would make me happy.

Since radler just got me the stabby guy pen holder and i work at the police department, i think its only fitting.

Have a fun day at work!

I think you need this guy! We can both use this to make some AWESOME lunches!
Good luck and seriously, just DECORATE ALREADY!

Vaultz Locking Utility Box with Combination Lock, Black on Black (VZ00192)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KWN5VZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Mmhryb879V2VG

I use this personally. I have a much larger safe at home but use this for my take homes. Works perfectly and at least at my clinic they accept it even though it's a dial lock and not a key

I had no idea if it would work originally, but I bought this off of Amazon, flipped it around 180, and it works great!! Some of the double LPs require a little more coaxing to stay up-right, but it works well for me!

I use this case that includes a pen loop that's covered in the case: BENTOBEN iPad Pro Folio Case https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076BBVGNM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jZxdAbNX5BNKG

You can also get a Leuchtturm1917 Pen Loop https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002CWMAPW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_CZxdAbJ2M3MY0

Or Apple Pencil Cap, Pencil Tip Cover, Lightning Cable Adapter Tether https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XJJ2PQB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_11xdAbCSZYMZN

These are things I've tried out (those exact brands) and worked for me.


I'm not sure which brand to go with for this last one as I haven't gotten one of these, but have heard of others who've liked this solution also: Apple Pencil Sleeve https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01EHSMF1W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_y3xdAb8GQR5HH


I feel like any of these might work better than a lanyard as that might get in the way when youre using the pencil. I also haven't seen anyone using one/being sold anywhere so you might have to make your own if you end up going with that still.

1. Pencils are made of wood. These are wood chips.
   
   
2. We all know how popular Frozen is at the moment - and this one has a holographic cover!
   
   
3. An apple is a traditional teacher gift. This is an apple shaped post-it dispenser.
   
   
4. My favourite subject was always English, so there was a lot of writing. A super comfortable pen is handy
   
   
5. Could there be any better recess activity than a NERF battle?
   
   
6. If we're going to Reddit Elementary School, then this has to be the mascot.
   
   
7. Chocolate-y, chocolate-y pop tarts. Not good for you, but so delicious.
   
   
8. This is an old-school Australian picture book
   
   
9. This might be a little bit heavy for a kid, but I could carry it
   
   
10. I'll be crafting! How about some Perler beads?
    
    In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
    
    I went through your comment history for a while but I couldn't find anything for either bonus :(

These pencil cases: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWN5VZ4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fit one volca perfectly and are pretty cheap

This case just arrived yesterday and so far it’s decent. The clear back shows off the iPad nicely. Downsides are that the cover doesn’t stay open with the magnets and the button covers feel pretty fragile. I also added a generic stylus holder to keep the pencil secure.

Oh you're running down a slippery slope! I don't know if I would go with separate cartridges, but what you can do is grab these sample vials from Goulet and syphon some ink into them to carry around. I use this case to carry around my pens and samples, along with other things, but I also use this and this based on what I'm doing that day. Sometimes I'll stick with just this because I don't need much. To make filling things easier, I use a blunt tipped syringe. My hands stay clean that way.

The Leuchtturm pen loop is a "stick-on" that you've mentioned, but they are sized to hold a pencil or skinny ballpoint. Should stretch enough to accommodate an E95s.

Then you have the Midori leather and plastic options, both offering different color choices. These are made to hold their own Midori pocket pens, which I believe are of a similar size to the elite.

Another type of loop is a springy expandable one. They are made of stainless steel and sized to fit ballpoints and pencils, as well. Though I have had initial concerns of these scratching the pen, they usually come rather smooth and harmless in my experience.

Other than these loops, there are options of elastic bound pen holders. These typically hold 1-2 pen, depending on the size of your pen and the pouch you choose. They go around either the front/back cover, or around your entire notebook (depending on your preference). They can be made of felt or leather. And similar economical versions, with a zippered pouch can also be widely found.

It's a Vaultz brand pencil box like this one. I got a couple of the clear ones, and they make an awesome display, although I'm not in the habit of displaying silver.

Each one holds four 3D printed inserts for either bars or rounds/coins.

Just as another option, I use one of these and it works great. Look around on Amazon for leather pen and pencil cases. Hopefully that might lead to something!

edit: am at work or I'd upload some photos. Will try and take a few to show you.

I bought this pen case on Amazon for mine and it's great. Added some extra foam padding inside, much better than their official case imo: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JV89G6

Hi,

I have one of those Intuos tablets with a pen strap attached to it (and also a Cintiq with the same solution), it works well.

Just as a suggestion:

You could try the same on any device I think (I´m not sure the glue is made to come off):

https://www.amazon.com/LEUCHTTURM1917-304637-Leuchtturm-Loop-Black/dp/B002CWMAPW

​

It´s a bit tighter than the non-flexible Wacom uses but it works with one hand with the Pro Pen 2, and I need to wiggle a bit with the Intuos Small pen (which doesnt taper). The piece that attaches is tough quality plastic.

​

It sticks very well, so you might have to work a bit if you want it off again.

​

Things LEUCHTTURM1917 makes is a bit expensive, but it´s decent stuff (think Moleskine upgrade)

​

Something you need. Everyone loves an organized office. Bonus points for being able to keep things silly in the process. This dude on your desk pretty much guarantees happy days at work. :D

Something I want. I used to watch this show every day when I lived in Nashville. It's my all time favorite anime, and I miss watching it so badly. I used to record all the episodes since it came on right as I was getting out of school. Naturally, this meant I had pretty much the whole first 2 seasons recorded on VHS tape, but when my house burned down, I lost all those tapes along with my VCR. Having this show again would mean the world to me. <3

I use a magnet board for my patterns and am trying to find a way to attach mine to the board when not in use. If you have the handles like some of you mentioned something like this might work. I can't use the handles because of my crochet style.

Tops Penpal Rubber Pen/Pencil Holder, 5/8 x 2 5/8 x 5/8 Inches, Assorted Colors, 4 Packs [Includes 4 Holders Only - Picture Show Assortment Of Colors] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0131M56KW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yj7aAbNAAH51M

I think this could help me because I just have pens and tape and stuff floating all over my house. This could help me because then I would have a place to put them. Also it looks hilarious.

Maybe a Vaultz lock box? They sell them at Walmart, if you live near one, so you could check them out in person. I'm pretty happy with the brand, personally.

I like it. Definitely cheaper than buying adhesive pen loops. Actually looks like it takes up less space because it snuggles inbetween the front and back covers.

I bought it at Chapters (a Canadian bookstore chain). It also works great as a paper weight.

Looks like you can still buy them online at Amazon

rubber bands = 222


I think this rubber band holder is fun :)

Not saying this is the best link but search up something like this (I searched pen quiver)

NONE of my pens fit. From my Custom 74, Lamy Safari, Parker Sonnet, Eco, all the way to the VAC 700R and my Noodler's Ahab.

My Noodler's Nib Creaper was REALLY tight but it still went in. I guess it for one of my pens haha

This one works great!

this is what I use to carry my mods. cheap, fits a lot of mods, and durable. only mod I haven’t been able to fit in there is energel st v2, which is like 24.9cm, so pretty much all of isuks mods won’t fit in it. psh/pserhome (not to be confused with psershop, don’t buy from it) sells single carry cases with their spinpros, and maybe even separately, and work for any mod, unless you’re exceeding 25.5cm which is an excessive mod length anyways.

Leuchtturm1917 has a pen loop that works great with my Jinhao x750.

First question, she's not a joint account holder to your checking account is she?

If not, you need to find a way to prevent her from getting your financial card. Maybe get a cheap safe/lock box off amazon? Assuming she's not willing to go as far as steal/breaking the safe, here's some options:

Hold on wrong item lol.

Holds all the tools, the vape, some screens, a loading card, the bubbler mouthpiece, and the water pipe adaptor lol. Good investment.

it seems like they would jiggle around a lot.

maybe sticking some of these in there would be a cool addition.

just and idea

Here’s the link. STYLIO Office Desk Organizer - Caddies for Office/ Teacher Supplies – Translucent Black & White Caddy Organizer Racks (Set Of 4) Perfect for Desktops https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6S0V3A?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Moleskine has a reasonable sized notebook that you can use. So does Field notes. Do kee in mind that there will be some ghosting.

For attaching your pen to the book: here it’s a pen loop you can attach to any book. There are off brand ones you can use as well.

A slight alternative might be a traveler’s notebook. It’s a small book of leather where there is a loop of elastic instead of a book, so you can replace the notebook to your heart’s content while still having the same shell that is easy to find and grab in a bag.

Mini pen: expensive but there’s the kaweco Liliput. I can’t think of any other small pens off the top of my head.

You can buy these stick-on pen loops for notebooks if they don't come with one already! I use a Leuchtturm notebook and had the same issue, but the pen loop helps a lot.

I currently use a small plastic lockbox: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWN5VZ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Saved my ass when a cop couldn't get a warrant for it. $12 saved me jail time. I assume, if the same situation arose with this book, it would be the same.

But it's obviously intentionally hidden if it's pretend in a book like that. Would that give a cop more reasonable cause to get a warrant and search it?

This is pretty cheap and LOOK HOW BADASS IT IS.

I would eat... oh god. I can't pick one. I honestly can't. I need variety!! I'm terrified of throwing up and biggest pet peeve is people misspelling words.

Try Amazon to find a good pen case. I have one that holds 4 pens, but it's bulky for a front pocket, but it will fit. The one I have, I toss into my backpack, as that's more convenient than my pocket. Here are two examples:

• https://www.amazon.com/ZILONG-Protective-Carrying-Container-Ballpoint/dp/B01L75TM46/ref=sr_1_38?keywords=fountain+pen+case&qid=1565490689&s=gateway&sr=8-38
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Cosmos®-Executive-Fountain-Ballpoint-Creative/dp/B018NABJVW/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=fountain+pen+case&qid=1565490689&s=gateway&sr=8-15
  
  Another option could be 1 pen in your pocket and the other three in a case, that way you have one with you at all times. My single pen sleeve is a leather Aston model. Here's a search query on Amazon -> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=single+fountain+pen+sleave&ref=nb_sb_noss
  
  TWSBIs are notorious for caps breaking. Both of my broke for using them in the Aston leather sleeve. If you write to twsbiinc@gmail.com and explain what broke, they will arrange to send you new caps for the price of shipping. For me it was $7. Totally worth it as I have my TWSBI's back. Use them at home, or in the 4 pen case. No issues with caps breaking since.
  
  Lastly, don't buy the Speakeasy...that's my opinion, because, while it's beautiful and it truly is, it is designed to hold more alcohol than ink. It's more of an art piece than a useable pen. If I recall, the Speakeasy uses short international cartridges...something ridiculously small for such a large pen. Because of that, the Speakeasy fell off my list of possible future pens. Just my opinion.

Try this case

If you don’t care about charging then try one of these attachable pen loops.

If you're a grown human who's on pins about your fam knowing about your goodie drawer, and in the meanwhile you'll openly discuss the kink-level of your sexcapades with them, that's completely another thread.

In the interim, how's about a locking tool box?: http://www.amazon.com/Vaultz-Locking-Utility-Combination-VZ00192/dp/B00KWN5VZ4/ref=pd_sim_263_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41cAia4MixL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0BSXFJX0SD6SNYTV5AM5

I'm tellin' ya! There's much more fun to be had than diddling yourself with some chewed up pen - you'll have zero regrets!

Yep. It’s got a combo lock on it. Found it on amazon.

Vaultz Locking Supply Box with Key Lock, Tactical Black (VZ00192) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KWN5VZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MnVVCb8PPV57E

A gift box with maybe a candy bar and a coaster or cookie cutters

Good taste! I got it from here, so if you don't live in Canada that might not be too helpful.

edit: quick amazon.com search gave me this (though it's white)

Here's my cheap solution! Not perfect but gets the job done.

A few £/$ from Amazon

What about something like this? (not necessarily this exact one, just the design) https://www.amazon.com/diodrio-Notebooks-Journals-Detachable-Leather/dp/B07DDD4T8K

Something like this could work?

Just received this over the weekend. Fits the Large Moleskine Cahiers.

I got this from Zenok Leather on Etsy and it is a very fine cover. Came with 4 built in bands for notebooks.

I got the Hand-dyed mahogany color

Pen loops are the midori pen loops from amazon

If you end up deciding that you don't want access to it, you could ask him to keep it in a little combination lock box like this one

The Leuchtterm1917 Pen Loop might work for you -- it's elasticized and holds more narrow pens well:


https://www.amazon.com/LEUCHTTURM1917-304637-Leuchtturm1917-Black-Loop/dp/B002CWMAPW

I just stuck a couple of these on the lid, works pretty well

I'm using this one right now on my 10.5. I like the functionality of it a lot.

It has a pencil loop, but I actually prefer buying these and sticking them on.

I carry mine in my pocket in an Aston Leather pen slip (available from Amazon in tan or black or Goulet in tan, black, or brown). At home I keep them in a cheap case from Amazon.

Just bought these from Amazon for my A5 Leuchtturm 1917s. They seem to do the trick for me and a pack of two is $13 in black or navy.

BF has a Confidant cover, but it has no pen loop or band. If all you're looking for is a way to hold your pen on your notebook, you could get a penloop meant for Leuchtterm1917 notebooks or get band/penholder combo from etsy. Some of them are just a band with 2 holes out out that you slip the pen through, some have a full pen case attachment, and some have an additional loop sewn onto the band rather than two holes cut out. If you're handy at all you could easily replicate some of the etsy products on your own with a trip to JoAnn Fabrics.

I use a Retro 51 (specifically, The System) and the Leuchtturm Pen Loop.

This is carried in my back pocket in most days.

(I am using these.)[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078W67NRQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_9haUBbSGTGFDR]

I just replaced it with this pen loop:

I could only find it in white but here:

I got it as a Christmas present years ago... I think this one was from a place by the name of Renaud Bray:

A store here in Quebec (I'm Canadian...) or maybe you could find it at Chapters...

You should also get a lockable storage case. I bought this one to keep my toys from prying eyes.

I use this and then inside I put my weed in these also holds my grinder, one hitter glass pipe and collection of lighters.

After I managed to destroy my first one in my bag in a softcase I now use a hardcase pencil bag. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/ZILONG-Protective-Carrying-Container-Ballpoint/dp/B01L75TM46/ref=sr_1_12

I have only used the top tension one (the T shaped one). I don't have locks requiring bottom tension yet.
The case was from Amazon.
