I don’t really use pencil cases that much, but here are some of my pens that are in visible places in my crafting room. I have more in the desk drawers too.

New (unplanned) addition to the pencil case today… a new (for me) line of Zebra Sarasa pens called “DecoShineColor”!
I got the darker blue one but I might be needing more now…

Hey!
Sarasa is one of my favorite. Your favorite pen to write postcards?
I did not know about this new ones. I’ll check how I can get them. (As if I did not have enough pens.

Whoa… what a colourful assortment!
Is the piranha a sharpener? How funny and appropriate for a fish with sharp teeth!

The piranha is a pencil sharpener and the wood shavings are in the belly! It has googly eyes, too. It only cost $1 US!
Here’s a closer view:

Gee wiz that sure is sharp!
My niece bought this R2D2 pencil case when she was 10 she knew her Uncle was a graphic artist and wanted me to have the coolest pencil case ever! I still carry this with me in my backpack.

I have always been a stationery addict, even before joining Postcrossing. 
At least, I’m in good company here!
Here’s what I currently have in my on-the-go pencil case:
At the moment, I’m using a lot of Sharpie and Pilot pens. I like to have a few different sizes and colors to choose from depending on what I’m writing. Washi tape samples are easy to carry—I swap them out frequently. I also carry postage stamps, but I keep those in my wallet.

Oh! I didn’t know Sharpie had this kind of “click-pens” like the Pilot G-2… Intriguing!

Yes! They smudge on glossy paper, but they are perfect for postcards with the rough, papery backing that tends to feather with other pens.

I found this pencil/pen case this weekend at a flea market, and I’m excited to fill it with pens so they stop getting lost and marking up the inside of my bag.
It is metal and has a removable tray inside:
I will report back when I’ve filled it up!

Putting washi tape on those embroidery floss spools is such a great idea!

That’s a great find! I love those two-story pencil tins with the removable tray.

Oh, what a throwback! There used to be so many of these with tin cases with the inner tray when I was a kid, but it’s been years since I’ve seen one!
