- a body, the body having a front surface and a back surface;
- at least one sheath, the sheath being attached to the body and located at the body front surface, the sheath having an inside periphery, a first mouth, a second mouth, and a mid-point so that a pen can be inserted into the sheath and removed from the sheath through the first mouth and so that alternatively the pen can be inserted into the sheath and removed from the sheath through the second mouth, the sheath being elastic, the sheath elasticity being least at the sheath first mouth and at the sheath second mouth and the sheath elasticity increasing from the sheath first mouth and from the sheath second mouth toward the sheath mid-point so that the pen can be removably secured in the sheath and so that forces opposing motion of the pen into the sheath are minimized; and
- a clip, the clip being attached to the body and located at the body back surface, the clip for securely and removably clasping the body to an external surface.
- 2. The pen holder of claim 1 wherein the clip is oriented so that when the body is clasped over an edge of the external surface the sheath is parallel to the edge.
- 3. A pen holder comprising:
- a body, the body having a front surface and a back surface;
- at least one sheath, the sheath being attached to the body and located at the body front surface, the sheath having an inside periphery, a first mouth, a second mouth, and a mid-point so that a pen can be inserted into the sheath and removed from the sheath through the first mouth and so that alternatively the pen can be inserted into the sheath and removed from the sheath through the second mouth, the sheath being elastic, the sheath elasticity opposing increase of the sheath inside periphery, the sheath inside periphery being greatest at the first mouth and at the second mouth, and the sheath inside periphery decreasing from the sheath first mouth and from the sheath second mouth toward the sheath mid-point so that the pen can be removably secured in the sheath and so that forces opposing motion of the pen into the sheath are minimized; and
- a clip, the clip being attached to the body and located at the body back surface, the clip for securely and removably clasping the body to an external surface.
- 4. The pen holder of claim 3 wherein the clip is oriented so that when the body is clasped over an edge of the external surface the sheath is parallel to the edge.
