A case for holding writing utensils includes a body having an outer surface and a retaining surface. The outer surface of the body is configured for placement on a substantially horizontal surface. The retaining surface has at least one first recess configured to frictionally retain a portion of a writing utensil at a first angle with respect to the horizontal surface such that an end portion of the writing utensil obliquely extends from the retaining surface. The case may include at least one first channel and at least one second channel are defined within the inner surface along first and second gradients, respectively. The first gradient slopes upward from a front end of the first channel to a rear end of the first channel. The second gradient slopes downward from a front end of the second channel to a rear end of the second channel. The first and second channels are each configured to retain a portion of a writing utensil. Each first channel is positioned adjacent to at least one second channel such that the first and second channels form a non-interconnected crisscross pattern. The case may also include means for retaining a plurality of writing utensils coupled to the inner surface of the body. The means for retaining a plurality of writing utensils is configured such that the writing utensils alternatively extend from the inner surface in at least two separate directions.
