External 6" mini-butt sized pouch for an English pool case

Here's a bit of a weird one. I currently own a one-piece, two-slotted Halo-style aluminium case for my English pool cue, similar to the Peradon or Green Baize ones. However, I'm thinking of getting a break cue soon, and sometimes I do like to take my snooker cue or a spare cue along if I'm playing both snooker or pool, or playing with friends, respectively. This means carrying two full-sized cues in the same case with only a tiny amount of space remaining, enough for a cube of chalk or two.

I was looking at a lot of American pool cases for fun a few weeks back and noticed that they have a lot of zipped pouches for accessories like chalk, extensions, tipping equipment, etc. Would there be any small waterproof pouches available online that would snugly accommodate a mini butt, two or three pieces of chalk, a few spare bits of tipping equipment (tips, glue, tape, etc.) and maybe a wrapped-up cue towel? I had a look online for something like this and came across a MOLLE pouch used to store knives and bayonets. Would it be at all possible to securely Velcro something like this to my case to use as an extra compartment?
 
Maybe put a clip on the handle of the case so you could just clip a bag to the handle when needed?
 
I don't really want it swinging around, though.

Understood. Maybe put a strap on it so it's clipped the handle (so it can't slide off) and then the strap just wraps around and keeps it tight. When you arrive just pull the velcro strap and unclip it? Just thinking out loud...

Good call. I may velcro the underside of the case below the handle and strap it to both it and the handle.

You could also have a customer leather pocket made like this one from Rusty Melton, if you weren't in Ireland I'd offer to make one, and then clip/velcro.
