Years ago when I needed a case I was working on cues and might leave the hall with a cue or two or a few shafts I didn't come with. As a result I got a heavy leather three by six.
Ain't working on cues, that case weighs more than Aunt Sally, and people tend to get the wrong impression of this poor ol' blind cripple country boy when I go in a place I ain't known toting that case.
So I am in need of a moderately well padded case or one that seals well. I am more concerned with temperature changes and minor dings and dents. Not planning to run over the case with a truck or hurl it from a twenty story balcony.
I want something fairly discrete that gives decent protection, a butterfly soft case maybe or perhaps a Fellini style with a small pouch on the strap to carry chalk and a few small items.
This is a second case, not luggage. I am cool with vinyl but probably lean towards heavy cloth. and fairly heavy padding. A given that I don't want to pay a bunch for this case, the whole idea is to be a bit more discrete. Under a hundred, a bit over, wouldn't cry if the case was fifty or seventy-five.
Suggestions? I generally buy new but for this case I may even shop it around in the wanted section. Somebody have something please PM me, not trying use the main forum for buying and selling, just clueless about cases in the last six or eight years.
Anybody that has used a butterfly case or is still using one might chime in, love it, hate it, any dislikes common to all of them.
Thanks for any and all assistance!
