# Pen cases

## Overview

Even your pens may deserve some amount of protection. As I've mentioned many times, if you drop your pen, especially with the nib hitting the floor, you can damage it irreparably.

If you need cases for your drawing tablets: [Tablet cases](/drawtab/catalog/accessories/tablet-cases.md)

## Options

* Eyeglass cases
* Cases meant for pens or pencils
* Examples of small cases for pens:

* 3D printed pen cases

## Considerations

* Rigid shells are best and offer more protection than a soft shell. Either is better than not having a case.
* There should be some way to secure the pen inside the case so it isn't moving around.
* There should be some cushioning to protect the pen from sudden accelerations (i.e. being dropped).
