I also stumbled into things like "foam formed" or "poured rubber". Which is better? As I understand it, that refers to what the case itself is made of, underneath the leather right?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I haven't had a lot of time to inspect it, but its just cloth over some solid material at the top, with the holes for the butt/shaft. They don't run all the way down and the scratches are only on the end with the cloth, where the opening is. It's something...

http://www.amazon.com/Elite-2-Butt-4-Shaft-Prime-Leather/dp/B00CZAAVM0 Seems like an awesome case to me, little pricey but like the look of it.

I looked at these cases and really liked what I saw. It wasn't the cheap built case I have but the action cases were not a whole lot more expensive. Debating two 1x1's vs. a 2x2 (me and my girlfriend both have a cue. She never plays without me but I'm not sold on the whole storing them...

I've gotten a couple recommendations from the forum for JB, also one for a "poolgods" case? Never heard of em, but the case was the same price as one from pooldawg which from the sounds of it isn't much better than my current case; the link is earlier in this thread. It's a viking, so it has...

I think macguy is over reacting, and pushing your opinion (no its not fact) so hard while repeating yourself makes it look like an awful weak argument. If I had a child in that situation you bet your ass I'd be at that persons house. And you can also bet it would be later that night. Why...

And on a slightly off note, any ideas on maybe buffing those scratches out? Is this something Q-wiz is great for?

I mostly posted the pic because I was curious if that kind of wear is normal from a case. From the responses I get the feeling my assumptions were right and its not. I'm 100% open to suggestions for hard cases. I planned on buying the pooldawg one when its in stock to replace this one (I...

This particular cue has never played a game. It's brand new, and was flawless when it arrived.

Well I am debating returning them to him. I knew they were used when purchasing, but was not told they smelled of cigarette smoke. That's why I came here, to see if my problems were specific to a bad case or not knowing what this type of case was like...

I can post pics from the listing (or a link to it) I can also take pictures of certain parts of the case if that would be more helpful? http://www.ebay.com/itm/321745116410?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Is the listing with the pictures he had available.

Erm, the "Made in China" variety. I wasn't aware of that when ordering them. Unfortunately the one I want to order is still out of stock. I don't see a brand on them anywhere.

I don't know why I never thought of that, but that is a great idea! I just did that, and looked down there and aside from a very slight amount of dust I don't see anything. The scratches seem to be from the fabric itself which is only at the top (the holes don't run all the way through it...

So I got a couple "new" cases for our cues instead of the soft cases they came with, and I noticed that the inside of the case has started to scuff the end of the butt a little. Suffice to say that was a tad irritating but I was curious, is this normal? I didn't think it was but *shrugs* I've...

Have been and will continue to. Not learning proper care for a tool generally leads to many new tools. That can get expensive.
