Are 3x3 cases just not made?

I have a two piece playing cue, a 2 piece break cue and am soon to get a 2 piece mechanical bridge?

So no one makes 3x3 cases? Does anyone have an idea where I can get one?if you have one for sale you do not want, I would be interested in buying it from you. I don't care if it's old and has a very well worn look as long as it works.

Thanks,

Craigey.

I bet JB can help you out, with something modified or custom.

Shooter, sorry I am new here and do not know who JB is. Tks!
JB Cases. They are ”The Industry Standard” when it comes to retail cases. I’d go with a 3 by 4 anyway, Rugged model.

You really need to bring a bridge around? Pretty much all halls have them. Worse case I usually keep a slip on bridge attachment in my cue case for my break cue. I've been carrying them for 20 years and I've never had to use mine once.

I'm using a Kamui myself

3x3 makes a lot of sense. Look at Seybert’s.. or JB Cases John Barton.

I’ve seen 3x3 Whittens, but I agree that you should just order a JB.

The issue with 3*3 is that it's so seldom requested that it doesn't make sense to develop a tube for just that size

We can make a 3*4 into a 3*3 easily by changing the interior configuration.

We can also make any butterfly a 3*3. Essentially when we don't have to use a hard tube as the core we can make a semi-hard case into any size desired up to the point of it being too unwieldy.

For makers who use individual tubes 3*3 is possible but it creates an odd shape and requires extra effort to adjust patterns and weight distribution.

As mentioned Whitten has a 3*3 and they make it look great as they always do with their work.

Recently I bought a case made in a triangular shape that is coincidentally a 3*3. I thought it looked interesting and I wanted to see how it made. I personally wouldn't carry cues that I care about in it but I think it's a neat idea for sure.
