As I am now embracing fountain pen AD, I would love to see pics of your favorite case, holder, pen box, etc. for some ideas.
Pen Cases

I've got a pen display chest like this http://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKGDISP3.html
(mine came from Penn State Ind.)
In my briefcase I have a leather case that holds 4 pens.
It came from ebay. I have no pics.
Specifically for my Montblanc pens, I have a single leather case, double and triple.

That's nice, Marc. Every time I get close to buying something to put my pens in, I stop and tell my self to put the money toward another pen. Mine are in crappy boxes. 
If I had the money, I'd have them in Franklin-Christoph cases.

Did someone say Franklin-Christoph?
Re-purposed cigar boxes work well. Gopens.com sells the felt lined fluted trays that you can cut to your own size. I made this one a while ago
But have been wanting to buy a nicer one like Marc posted.

Dude! I'm all over that, I have an excess of FP's and cigar boxes. Awesome idea!Re-purposed cigar boxes work well. Gopens.com sells the felt lined fluted trays that you can cut to your own size. I made this one a while ago

that is nice Mike!
I cannot take the credit for thinking of this. Many guys here have made them, and Richard Binder sells pre-made ones on his site.
I've always liked the cigar boxes idea.
I took the easy way out and bought one.

Low tech for me, as in rocks glass:
I have a few Lamy pen trays on my desk and dresser.

Here's where I store the pens on my desk. It's a nice Japanese lacquer box that had been wrapped up in the closet for years. This seems like a good way to keep it in use:
I use a three-finger leather cigar case to carry my pens around with me. It fits perfectly in my computer bag or my little tactical bag if I'm going out somewhere. I'm envious of the cool pen cases that people use, but this will do until my ship comes in:

On my desk next to the phone.
I did give my boss a warning that if he "just grabbed" a pen from my desk, no pressure on the nib!

Whatever do you mean?

I have an old humidor that is really nice and would work great. I am worried that since it seals and was used for cigars it may trap some of the remnant aromas in with the pens. Would this be an issue or should I stick with a box that doesn't seal as tight? Thanks for the help.

I'll give that a shot, thank you.
This case is awesome!
