# Another reason why I love how hackable the Supernote is. It now precisely fits my EDC setup. 2025-06-23 ### That penholder on the Nomad case is very convenient, but when I wanted to bring the #Supernote in my #EDC pouch, it was always a pain to make it fit. I had to put some pressure on it to fold the holder down while zipping the bag. Don't be mad, but I've actually thought of cutting it off a few times. Thankfully, I'm not that young and anxious anymore, so I did what I always do in situations like this. Instead of rushing to cut it, I let the search for a solution slowly brew in my brain. ![[vladcampos.com/_photos/2025-06-23-supernote-peak-design-tech-pouch.jpg]] One day, out of nowhere, I had a 'click' moment. A good velcro was probably the solution! I grabbed the device, removed it from the case, and, to my surprise, there were just a few stitches connecting the penholder to the case. "*No way it will be that easy*," I thought while looking around for my x-acto knife. ![[vladcampos.com/Static/Toolbox/Supernote/Supernote posts|Supernote posts]] It took me just a few seconds to disconnect them. It was so quick and painless that I completely forgot to take pictures or film it. Sorry. I've said this so many times, but here we go again: I love how hackable the [Supernote](https://vladcampos.com/sn) is! Anyway, I then cut a piece of #velcro to precisely fit the rectangular space left behind, used contact glue to attach one side to the case and the other to the pen holder, and *voilà*. ![[vladcampos.com/_photos/2025-06-23-supernote-penholder-velcro.jpg]] I considered using thinner velcro, but after some tests, it was evident that it wouldn't hold the pen in place. The #3M strips I [ended up using](https://amzn.to/4k4eSJS) are probably overkill, but I was super excited about my insight, and I already had those in a drawer. However, because they are a bit thick, the case is no longer flush with the Supernote. *Not a big deal*, I thought. It's just slightly raised on the corner where the penholder is, and the magnets are strong enough to keep everything connected. ![[vladcampos.com/_photos/2025-06-23-supernote-cover-slightly-raised.jpg]] I've been using this hack for a few months now and couldn't be happier. The pen stays attached most of the time, and when I want to bring the [Supernote](https://vladcampos.com/sn) with me, there's no more fighting with the [Peak Design Tech Pouch](https://amzn.to/4lE2YaT). By the way, let me know if you'd like to see a video of what I carry with me everywhere and how I organize my EDC pouch! ![[vladcampos.com/Timeline/Blog/Posts|Posts]]
