checkbook cover and related topics such as mass transportation

Apr 1 16:28 UTC 2002 |
I want to find a checkbook cover which will fit in a coat pocket, hold
checks, have a separator for duplicate checks, and which has a holder
for a pen. I used to have one like that, but it was made of plastic
and it fell apart over time.
I have just searched Office Max and Staples WWW sites. I asked the UM
Credit Union if they had such a product. They don't, (rather their
check company, Liberty Checks, doesn't) but they did think it was a
great idea.
I also did a Google search but that didn't turn up what I'm looking for.
Does anyone have any ideas, other than attempting to make my own from a
sheet of leather? (Which I probably would not do well.)

Have you checked eBay?

No. Aren't they just for auctions? I've never used eBay.

They are just for auctions- but they may have what you're looking for.

I looked; there were 8 or 9 checkbook covers for sale, but none
appeared to have a pen holder while still fitting into a coat pocket.

Well, one thing's for sure, they certainly have new things there
everyday. It probably won't hurt to check there on occassion, at least
while you still on the hunt for the checkbook cover. I've never heard
of that style of cb cover by the way.

Instead of being known as a checkbook cover, it might be
known as an organizer. Try bringing your current example to
Marshall Fields, ladies portable stuff carrier department and
ask if they have something similair.

I found a nice one like that (leather) at the UMD bookstore. Only $15.

I've gotten my last two leather checkbook covers from art fairs.

My leather checkbook cover does not have a penloop, but it has the other
features you mention. Look over the personal organizers; you might find
something there.

re #9: I asked my bank, the UM Credit Union, but they don't have what I
want. I know they used to; my former one that wore out had a pen loop.
Clearly there's a business opportunity here for someone. If you start
a business making checkbook covers which hold a pen, I think it would
be only reasonable for you to send one to me for giving you the idea.
Art Fair... I hope I don't have to go to that to find a checkbook
cover, but I guess I will if I have to! I might even go to the mall
and search.

Maybe you could find a cover you like, then have somebody add a pen loop.

my own solution wouldn't help you. I keep 3 or 4 separate pens in my
purse.

"I keep a pen in my shirt pocket." Ensconced, no doubt, in a certified
white plastic pocket protector (c).

I've never used one, although I saw one once, but never saw one used
by an engineer that I knew. I don't know how the story got started.

I keep a pen in my pocket. Sometimes, I put it into my wallet.

Pens leak, fly out, get lost, etc. If I can, I try not to carry them at
all. If I must, they'll generally go point-down in a pants pocket, or
better yet, in the backpack.

STeve has a pen in his Swiss Army Knife. It is always on his belt so he
always has a pen.

Pens are obsolete. I have a Palm Pilot.

The party requiring my signature usually supplies a pen as well.
