You can add a simple, yet effective battery or pen holder to a leather Mini Maglite holster by stretching a section of bicycle inner tube over the bottom of the holster.  See the photos below (shown with an Inova X1 flashlight).

Added a short section of aluminum tubing and plastic end cap to serve as a pen holder.  The pen can be inserted and removed much easier from the added aluminum tube than it can when rubbing directly against the rubber inner tube.
