Rugged has it all over the Instroke. Cues are secure & will NOT fall out. Case is MUCH more durable, smaller, lighter. Also, nearly unlimited options how you want it set up !!!

P.S. ~ Go for the 2x5/3x4. Also, if you choose rugged be sure & opt for the top handle, it's standard on ultimate
!!!

I have one of JB Cases's, the RUGGED in the 2X3 configuration.

Some videos about the "cue protection" that one gets with a JB RUGGED case are attached.

At minute 4:30, Mr Barton says that the JB RUGGED 2X3 can function as a 2X4 (two butts, four shafts). But he also states a “disclaimer”.
I have not tried it because I do not have four shafts.

I own one of the instroke buffalo series cases. I have no problems whatsoever with butt and shaft retention. Everything seems quite well protected by the full length tubes. If I had one complaint it would be the stitching. I would have liked to see double stitching throughout. Mr. Barton makes a fine case....no doubt about it.....but instroke is worthy of a look IMHO.

Be careful about this recommendation. Instroke has changed the amount of padding in their cases since I left. Now cues do rattle and are not as secure as they used to be.

2x3 Ultimate Rugged on order!! All the YouTube videos and reviews here convinced me to place an order.

I've own a Rugged 2x3 and it's a very very nice looking case. However, it is not perfect. One issue is the fabric comprising the top handle can wear and start to fray at the seams over time. When I noticed this, I added more stitching to reinforce it which seems to have worked. Other than that, its a classy case which will keep your cues very snug and safe.

Hey Bank it. If you're going to be needlessly negative and sarcastic you should at least know what you're talking about. If cues have joint protectors on them it really doesn't matter which way you put them in a case. Your method may be the majority opinion and it's the way I do it as well but that doesn't make Johnny Rosato wrong. Posts like yours simply reflect badly on your attitude and credibility.
