Hi guys! Here's my custom "Rugged" 4x8 with larger pockets & it's a right shoulder carry.
It protects my Runde R6 & Samsara J/B cue. I carry talc powder, Spinali bridge, Q-claw, chalk holders, Predator towel & dotted cue ball.
I normally play out of my buddy's garage on a Gold Crown III & from time to time play at The Cue Ball in Alhambra, CA. Thanks for a great product!!!

JB 3x6 Ultimate Rugged. Bought over the phone from Karen about one year ago. I love it.
Samsara with True Shaft. Another Samsara with True Shaft. Lucasi Big Beulah break cue. Lucasi Air Hog. Joe Porper cue holder. 2 gloves. Hand sanitizer. Moosehead bridge. Adjusta bridge. Last 4 Ever tip tools. Three pieces of extra chalk. 2 pens. Quarter coin holder. Pocket chalk holder. Leather burnisher. Shaft slicker. Towel, small flashlight, name tag (with small pin of my Air Tractor) all clipped on outside of bag.
This is the best case I've ever had for both locks and function. Someday I will get a more personalized one.
I play at home on a 9' Diamond and in a couple different leagues in Sioux Falls SD. We don't have any dedicated pool halls but numerous bars with the tables. I mostly play at JJs and Nickel Spot and Wiley's.

Here's my setup:
The case is a JB 2x4 leather Mason with a little bit of tooling on the pockets. It's rare you can get exactly what you want and I'm really happy with this case.
Cues are my Tascarella and a Jacoby Edge break cue.
And the excess crap is: a pair of joint protectors I don't use, coins for flipping for the break/spotting balls in one pocket, a couple of tip shapers, an extra G2 hard tip, a microfiber cloth that I use for wiping down my cues after playing, one piece of master chalk, some gum, some bluetooth headphones I don't use, and three mid-cue extensions I don't use anymore.
I primarily play at Fast Eddies in Santa Cruz or in my friend Albert's garage on his 9 foot Gold Crown, where these photos were taken. I also occasionally play at Cal Billiards in Fremont.

Just out of curiosity, as I don't remember reading this... for those than do win, what is the cap on the credit. I was just wondering how custom we are talking?
It's $200. So one winner just ordered a case and the total was like $230 with shipping and he just paid the extra $30.
If you order a basic rugged you can literally get millions of combinations including shipping to CONUS for under $200.
Thanks John, just wanted to know (playing around in the casebuilder and wanted to know how crazy was realistic.
Any idea when the "patterns" will be available option in the casebuilder? For instance, using one of the camo prints as a base color and designing around it.
Cues: Adam Japan Balabushka, Adam Japan Rambow (not currently in case, Now a Dave Brainard custom), Players JB5, 12.5 mm Kamui, 13mm Le Pro, 14mm Samsara
Lid holder: Measle ball
Top pocket: Glove, chalk holder, pocket marker
Middle pocket: Q Claw, pen, microfiber rag for wiping cues, microfiber rag for wax, leather burnish pad.
Bottom pocket: Extra rag (bridgehead under), spare gloves, talc, ultimate tip tool, band-aids, tip *****er, chalk collection, q-wiz (under chalk), Allen wrench for weight bolts, extra tip, cue wax, q smooth sandpapers (under), large scuffer.
Going to be awhile before that happens. It's a lot more programming than we can afford right now.
My dream case.
Made for my birthday by my lovely wife. This case is super special. It has tattoos that my wife and I got to celebrate our first year on our own in America. Mine is pool themed and hers celebrates dancing. Then she put in the note she sent me the first weekend we met, after she told me she would teach me Chinese... "The teacher is ready, where is the student?"
Our initials surround the B. John, Karen, Jessie, Katrina. And the peace symbol, the change I strive to become.
My stuff; 2 Gilberts. Custom extensions by Rocky Biswell that will extend my cue up to 90", it's ridiculous I know but it works.
Tray of accessories in the removable pocket tray. Phone pocket that velcros into the middle pocket.
Jack Justis lucky coin. (Thanks Jack!)
I play at Jamacia Joes mostly. Our training center in the shop and now also at Bill's Billiards.
(I am of course not qualified to win this contest but I wanted to show off my case anyway)

I switch back and forth between this longtime Schuler with a Schuler copy (Sheldon Cue, Schmelke blank) butt I had made that I can use an screw-on Tiger extension. But other than that, the rest is pretty much the same.
I now mostly play at The Stage Coach in Vista, CA, a bar with 3 Smart Tables and great house cues. Lots of league players every night. Mornings are feee pool, M-F.
Custom JBCases Mason Case - Wider than the normal Mason and a top handle
Shooting Cue: Schuler SC-250 w/ferrule-less shaft
Break Cue: Andy Gilbert w/two shafts (Phenolic and Samsara)
Jump: Jacoby
Cueball: Original Measles
Extension: Longoni
Glove: Molinari (Yeah, I had two in there)
Ball marker: useless Chinese acrylic and a great one from Gibby Tkatch
Cue holder: Cuegrabber.com (out of business? - edit Billiardwarehouse has them) thank Jack Justis, this one is the best
Rake: Telescopic from Omega Billiards (Mike Hoang)
Shaper: Last4Ever and one the came with the Pocket Cue Lathe
Trimmer: some pencil sharpener from eBay. Works perfectly
Tapper/Dresser: Not the Kamui Gator thing, i can't remember who sold this to me
Business Cards
Chalk: 2 Magic Chalks and a Master Blue
Pocket Chalker, no chalk (I stopped using this as it breaks up my PSR)

John Barton is selling out of everything at the Super Billiards Expo. At the beginning of the expo, his walls were filled up with cases, and now they are looking a little less filled.
He has been sharing live video on FB, and his area is always crowded. He must have made a killing as far as sales.
