  For those interested in the EZGO and KeySmart my opinions are as follows.
  
  I like the EZGOs form-factor, but after owning it for a while it doesn't 'stretch' at all for what's in there. I have two credit cards, ID, insurance and a punch card in mine and it's like pulling teeth to get anything out of it. Also, since it's made to fit cards, anything bigger than that can't be accommodated. As a result I have my CPL, vehicle insurance and KOBALT tool rubber-banded to the thing. I've been eyeing the Flipside 3X as a replacement, but their shipping is around $7 which is over 10% the cost of the wallet... hence my apprehension in buying one.
  
  As for the KeySmart, I've had it a couple of days and so far I dig it but with a couple of caveats. They include two keyblanks for Schlage-style keys. I took one of them to Lowe's to have it cut and there was an issue with the blank, as a result their machine could not provide an accurate copy. I purchased a key from Lowe's and they made it without issue. Not sure what kind of weird science is up with the blanks they included, but I would be leery of buying their 'lightweight' and colored blanks as you may have similar results. My second issue may be somewhat nitpicky, but it's next to impossible to open the door with one hand anymore. Hands full of groceries or mail? Well, you better plan ahead on getting your key flipped out prior to getting to the door, other wise you'll be settin' that shit down.
  
  Would I buy the EZGO Slim again? No. Would I buy the KeySmart again? Yes.

I use my Nock occasionally with a Rickshaw 6 pen (the simple one) turned sideways on the inside flap.

Bible covers work well and there are a lot of hand made (you could have a custom made non-religious) in Etsy

Lochby (formerly Bond Travel Gear) makes a rugged looking one, but it’s short on pen space.

Yenderings makes some unique notebook/ pen storage wraps. I really like mine. It holds 12 pens a notebook and has pocket zippered pockets and other hiding spots

I would Give Goulet or Vanness a tru if you want a leather Galen pen/notebook combo.

Here is the link to Vanness. They have the 5 pen case in a very nice Navy Blue
