Drawer? Backpack? Small pen case (that only holds about 4)? Maybe just a pretty little box, preferably padded/felt inside?
@thelinuxcast @turgon I use a pen case like this which might be what youβre looking for
A pen-guin case, if you will π§
@thelinuxcast Yeah, they're dirt cheap on Amazon... I wouldn't buy them though. They are just cheap plastic ($10 for four of them: https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Display-6-Slots-Eyebrow-Organizer/dp/B08B13SSJJ).
I just found another one that is acrylic that looks pretty decent. I've ordered it (about $13USD), but it's going to be a couple of weeks until I get it.
IMO - vertical is better. Should be able to set the pens nib-down when I need to make certain the feed gets saturated.
Get a pen stand. On the photo is the one I have, bought on Etsy, shop called NobleForge. You might have a few pens that prefer being stored on your desk horizontally. The photo is from the store. Here is the link:
