From their website: "The CountyComm Embassy Pen industrial design purposely DOES NOT provide for the cap to fit on the back of the barrel. There are several reasons for this, one will become apparent when someone asks to borrow your pen— loan them the pen while you hold the cap and you will get your pen back! Other more discrete reasons are best kept quiet!"
Any idea what they are talking about?

BogartI would imagine weight is a factor with this pen. Might be heavier with the cap on than off.

cactusTheir talk of "discrete reasons" (which I interpreted as "discreet reasons" in light of their claim that it is best not to talk about them) has met with some skepticism on forums. The consensus is that the talk of lending the pen and other mysterious reasons for the lack of a place to put the cap on the back of the barrel is after-the-fact marketing nonsense to attempt to justify a design flaw.

BogartYeah. I'm stumped by these "discrete reasons" too. I'd love to know the answer.
