How about a faux fox complete with a tail?
Hu
Why not? lol.
Kinda strange, I thought, was that back in the 40's, 50's, and 60's, it was very much in-style for women to wear fox fur stoles or shoulder wraps complete with not only the tails but the fox heads. How do you think PETA would like seeing someone wearing one of those, nowadays?
And as for the PETA folks, I often wonder, what do they do if they get strep throat? Every organism has the right to live, right?
Or how many PETA-minded people drive cars? They must try real hard to avoid all the bugs that end up going splat on their windshields.

third case from the left
Brian,
Your third case from the left gave me the thought. The top pouch flap looks like the muzzle of an animal at first glance with the latch forming the nose.
The "harm no animal" folks are doomed to extinction. Countless Bambi's and other animals are killed to produce grain and vegetables. If you eat you are responsible for the deaths of animals. I take the reasonable viewpoint, I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat grass!

Wow, Hu, you're right. that 3rd case does have what looks like an animal face on the top flap. Good call.
FYI, that case is antelope.I will eat some grass but it typically needs to be sitting close to some meat.

fur vs hair
I kinda like the original hair left on the leather myself. While I can't imagine toting one with fur, I wouldn't object at all to short deer, antelope, or cow hair. I had three largely handmade rocking chairs years ago. The seats were raw cow hide with the black and white hair left on. Made for a better looking and more comfortable chair in my opinion and the hide came off of the same cow with or without the hair left on.
What I like in leather these days is nice basket weave. I'm casting eyes on Brian's case, looks to me like he probably has at least one more than he needs anyway!

You know, Hu, I do get a lot of nice comments on that basketweave case. Thank you. It's approx 20 years old and is a 3x6 made by a Texas saddlemaker who doesn't make cue cases. Not sure if he ever made another. He did do a real nice job on this one, I must say. This is my daily use case these days. I brought it to this years SBE and had JB modify it by changing one of the tubes inside so I can carry my jump handle.
You must have some saddlemakers down by you (bayou?) who can do a little leather basketweaving, right?

A handful disappeared in the last twenty years
Brian,
I'm fairly sure one or two must be left but two or three old saddle shops have disappeared in the last twenty years. I don't know of a shop in a commercial location that is left. I'm sure I can hit the feed and seeds and western stores to find somebody working out of their home though.
I'm giving several case designs some thought. Some will work with basket weave, some won't. There is somebody here on AZB that does envelope cases. I'm thinking one of those for a three piece cue might be the cat's pajama's but first I have to build a three piece cue and see if I can make one play well.
