I don't know if you do product reviews here, but I recently came across a steno pad holder made by Tactical Notebook Covers
that works so well with my shorthand note-taking endeavors that I just
had to share (by the way, I have no affiliation with this company
whatsoever. I just thought others might find this a useful shorthand
tool, too.) I did a review of this over on the Fountain Pen Network site if you care to see a little more extensive review. Otherwise, here are just the photos of mine. I take this thing with me everywhere for note-taking.
Back outer pocket, perfect for my pocket DJS shorthand dictionary

Outside front, with optional embroidered name tape

In addition, I also did a couple of reviews of fountain pen-friendly steno pads on Fountain Pen Network here. I'm always on a quest to find decent paper for fountain pen ink.
