Just came in after waiting only about 6 weeks for this beautiful custom case made of the softest deerskin leather. The photos don't do it justice.

Case has some very nice features:
  • Two pockets. One small One large

  • Double zipper on long pocket

  • Elastic bands inside long pocket to hold jump butt in place

  • Zippers on both pockets are on the side, so that pockets open wide to access contents

  • Top Handle is very nicely intergrated into cue case top

  • Seam edge where the leather comes together is stitched AND Hand Laced <-- Nice touch

  • Cute little Castillo logo burned into Shoulder pad

  • Both Shoulder strap and side handle (lots of places to hold/carry the case

  • Individual Lightweight polycarbonate tubes to protect 3 butts and 6 shafts

  • There is additional fuzzy padding in the top to hold butts and shafts in place and further protect them from harm

  • Some kind of rubber case bottom, firmly attached to protect the bottom of the case

  • Butts go into case bumper end down (a requirement for me, since I use my case as a cue holder when I'm playing

  • Case stands on it's own - doesn't need to be leaned against something to stand up

Castillo has put a lot of thought into his cue cases. Here's some photos some of the details of this beautiful case.

Deerskin

I love deerskin!
Really nice looking case and the pockets are fantastic. Looks like it found the perfect person to own it. Thanks for taking the time to share pictures and a nicely detailed review to the case maker.

I got a case like this one but mine is not deerskin.

I got mine in Vegas a couple of years ago when I was introduced to Gil by Caroline Pao.

Nice review!!!
