$65 shipped. A lot of pertinent information along with questions and answers were lost in the other thread that got hijacked.

I don't have time now to reconstruct all of it but I have asked Mr. Wilson to allow me to copy and paste the posts that were pertinent to the item being offered.

To see what these are please see this video.

The only other important thing to remember is that Mr. Justis has stated that he will void your lifetime Justis warranty if you choose to replace your interior. I don't know how his warranty works in the first place, what it covers, nor who it covers. I suggest highly that you consider this when choosing to replace the stock interior with our UltraPad version.

If the benefit of better daily protection for your cues outweighs the free repair of a strap or buckle or whatever else may go wrong on the exterior of a Justis case then my personal suggestion is to install the interior and forego the warranty. That's what I have always done with all the items I have ever owned that I felt I could improve on in some way.

As a result I have lots of things which are without warranty but work exactly as I want them to.

Thank you,

John Barton
 
I've seen this interior in one of your cases. When the owner purposely tipped the open case upsidedown and shook it (mind you this was with about $7000.00 worth of cues in it) I first almost had a heart attack and then was immediately sold on that interior. The rebound bottom also gives me great "cue security" comfort. I currently have a 4 x 8 Wave case and I love it but I'm going to have to buy up to the JB style that he has. I'll also add that if I could swap out the interior in any of the cases I've owned (plenty) for one of these I'd have done it in a heartbeat.
 
Pretty sweet, I have a few Justis cases as I think he makes the best looking Flowers style cases on the planet. If I traveled with my cases I would definitely buy one of these interiors. However I have a really sweet 1x2 that I made out of PVC for traveling.

Other Brands.

Ok,

I have been asked several times to provide interiors for other brands so I will address this now for everyone.

Most case makers build their cases so that the interior is not easily removable without some tools.

The Justis ProLite interior is deliberately made that way so it is the easiest to replace.

I have been asked about replacing the interiors on Talisman, Murnak, Whitten, It's George, and surprisingly the Predator Case made by Instroke.

I will provide our branded interior for any of those cases and more but all of you must understand that the tube we use may not fit, the small diameter tubes we use are likely to be different in size and the actual replacement will require some tools and may cause you to damage the exterior shell of your case.

I also do not have current measurements for most brands of cases so it will be up to you to provide interior measurements that are accurate.

I will provide the exact measurements of all the tubes and configurations we offer and at that point it is your responsibility if what you are sent fits or not.

We can and will make custom lengths to fit any existing case.

Shipping will be done one of two ways, either you must wait for your order to be shipped by slow boat and then it will come from Sterling Gaming in Charlotte or you can elect to have it shipped by air.

Shipping charges by air will depend on the final size of the package. Typically for a cue case sized package it's about $75.

I want to reiterate that the Justis ProLite cases were deliberately made so that the interior can be easily removed without tools. I am providing the upgraded version because of that trait. I happen to have access to tubes which are the exact same dimensions as those Mr. Justis uses and as such can provide interiors in two versions as outlined in the first post.

I have no problem to provide our interiors to anyone who wants them but I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your case when you undertake this operation. On the Justis cases I am 99% confident that they can be upgraded to our interior with no harm to the exterior shell.

On all cases which I know how it is constructed I will provide instructions as to how best to do the work. On others I will try to advise you if you send me detailed pictures of the case.

For those that own a Whitten and wish to change the interior. Forget it.

Whitten cases are constructed like no other case and they are not built to be easily taken apart. They are super solid. I might be able to provide some sort of kit that will add more padding to the top of the tubes but it's not high on my list of priorities so don't count on it.

Thanks,

John

Just be advised that our lifetime warranty is null and void if any attempt is made to replace the original ProLite interior with another interior that could not only damage the finish on the cue but also the case.

jack could you add some insight on exactly how JB interior could ever damage the finish on a cue? voiding the warranty is understadable. that is your choice. i think john did a good job of letting that be known. now speaking from experience ive owned a case from about every maker on the planet. that interior is about as good as it gets in a nontube style case.

so please edjucate us. this whole fued is getting old

i also want to comment on the last line of your signature but i wont

i will say this i agree with don up top

Folks, please don't continue to fuel fire. Mr. Justis and I have resolved our differences as far as I am concerned.

He is free to hold his beliefs as he sees fit. Of the two of us I certainly believe that the bulk of my energy has gone into designing padded interiors that provide plenty of cushion and softness for your cues.

In every other field where precious instruments are transported they are transported in cushioned cases.

Mr. Justis has been making this ProLite version of his cases for six years and by his own admission that equates to about 960 cases worldwide that exist with this interior. We won't count the Justis West cases as no one can find them anywhere on the market.

In the 14 years prior to the introduction of the ProLite version Mr. Justis provided tube interiors with no padding and rough fabric in the tubes. If we continue with Mr. Justis numbers at a personal best of 160 cases per year that would equate to a maximum of 2240 cases with the unpadded tube interior worldwide.

In contrast I have been providing padded interiors for 20 year since the very first case I made. From 1991 until 1993 I made approxiamately 200 cases. In 1993 we went to mass production and we made 1400 cases. Let's stay with the 1400 cases as a baseline and you can see that in the past 16 years since Instroke went bigger they have put out at least 22,400 cases with my padded interior. In the past three years I have produced a little shy of 100 JB Custom cases, about 150 J.Flowers Tribute Cases, and approximately 1500 mass production cases all using our padded interior.

So with something like at least 24,000 cases plus out there with my padded interiors I think it's fair to say that Mr. Justis' warning of potential finish damage is not needed and just a recent theory which the facts dispell quite easily.

In addition the protection we offer is daily insurance against the bumps and bruises that life hands you. No one intends for their case to fall on the ground, bounce down a flight of stairs, somehow become inverted with the lid open, but these things happen despite how much care the user takes. For those situations my padded interiors are there. I think most who have them will agree that the best warranty is the daily peace of mind that the precious cues are kept safe and SNUG.

Sincerely,

John Barton, making padded, secure, and protective cases since 1991.
More than 44,000 Cues Protected since 1991.

Mr. Justis,

Your theory about finish damage has been addressed in the post above.

I would like to state that the replacement interiors I provide use either the existing tube from the customer's case or if the customer chooses they will receive one that has exactly the same dimensions as what you use in your cases.

The chance of damaging the case is slim to none. In any event I am available to my customers to walk them through the replacement if they have any hesitation or trouble.

I agree with mr. Justis here on this issue.have any of you that are thinking about replacing the interior of a justis case had any problems with jacks interior?also replacing the interior i think hurts the value of a justis case.in the long run barton might only make a few hundred dollars from selling interiors to fit a justis case so why would it be worth his time.the answer is clear to everyone because he has an obsession with mr.justis and thats it.i dont beleive he cares enough about anyones pool cues to do it for concern and he isnt going to make any real money from doing it.i will not be replacing my interior in my justis case and i trust my $10,000 playing cue in it for sure and neither will any other top pro.good luck barton and i hope you eventually just spend more time making good looking cases.

Mr. Chamberlain,

The person who decides to do an UltraPad upgrade to their Justis case can easily put it back in original condition.

I believe that no one has tested whether the resale is hurt or not as no one has tried to sell an upgraded Justis case yet. I am not exactly sure where that would hurt the resale anyway.

I mean I can see it from the perspective of a case speculator such as yourself that selling or buying something that is not in it's original condition has an effect on how you perceive the value of the object to be.

For me, I don't worry about the resale value or the speculative value of my cases as I build them to be used daily. They are built to protect cues to the best of my ability and that is the core of what drives me to build cases.

I will spend my time making protective cases Mr. Chamberlain, whether they are good looking or not is for each person looking at them to decide for themselves.

Now, would you please stop meddling in my for sale thread with your opinions that have nothing to do with the product? Even if your opinion held any merit, which in my opinion, it does not, it doesn't belong here. I am certain that you do not want me to inject my opinion in your for sale threads that the Justis cases you are or were selling would be better off with my interior inside them.

If you would like to start a discussion on your theories then please do it in the appropriate sections of this forum.

Thank you,

John Barton, making padded protective cases since 1991. More than 44,000 cues protected.

Also Mr. Chamberlain,

From an ego standpoint it's satisfying to me when a person buys my interior to put in their Justis case. I get a thrill knowing that I was able to provide the customer with what I consider to be the most important reason for making a cue case, cue protection.

Also, although there are just about a 1000 ProLite cases out there and I might only replace the interiors on a fraction of them, each one which I do replace will be a mini-advertisement for the type of protection we offer.

So it's win/win for the player. They get better protection and I get satisfaction.
