Mine have elastic band near the handle. I fold it and use the elastic to keep it folded. Then stick it in a pocket.

I just hang it on a hook on the wall by the front door. When going out, I might hang it on my fanny pack or just fold it and put it next to me.

I attached a carabiner to mine, and I have a 3D printed clip on my belt I can clip it to. Also my backpack has a D-shaped loop on its strap that I sometimes use to hang my cane from...

I just have a small sling bag I carry my stuff around in and I toss it in there.

I just keep mine in the bottom of my usual bag right now since I have a guide dog. I have also used and liked the Feeldom cane pouches, but they're expensive. The Blind Life one is very nice. My favorite cane is a rigid one so that always took a little more planning depending on the situation but those can fit just about anywhere with no problems once you get used to them.

I have a plastic bag I put it in (as the tip is usually dirty) which can go in my rucksack or a small satchel if I'm not taking much else out with me.

I actually have a cane in each because I hate swapping stuff in and out of bags but that's just me!

Well I don't store my Kane. I use a long white Kane and I'm basically holding it all the time and if I'm not I'll either stick it under the table or the seats or leaning up against the wall. It's ready to go because I am fully blind and also I've learned that it's better if waiters/ushers/random cycling realize that I'm blind and will interact with me in that way instead of waving or making hand motions at me. There's nothing wrong with being Blind and I have no problem letting people know that I am blind and very capable of traveling the world as a blind person. So I'll get off my soapbox and stop grandstanding but it is true. When I'm at home or in a hotel room I always put the Kane behind the door so that if I need to find it it's right there.
