Truth there. For years, a player here would show with his cues wrapped in a rolled up piece of denim...fastened with rubber bands. He played damned good, too...

Them rubber band cases are the true nuts. The ultimate way to keep everything secure and unmoving is the Rubber Band case.
And it's great in it's basic form, just two good rubber bands, stores in your pocket when not in use and if one happens to break replacements are easily available and installed.
Upgrades are easy using any sort of cloth, old towels, jackets, denim, etc...
and then to go a step further stick it in a tube, a plumbing tube from Home Depot, or a drafting tube from the art store.
Nothing beats the Rubber Band case.

there is a guy in houston that plays with a one piece snooker cue...he a carrys it around i a 6foot long piece of pvc tube around 3in wide.......looks funny but i guess it works...everytime i see it i chuckle but then the guy starts to shoot and he plays pretty sporty.....

I still think the pin bending is a stretch. Like I said I have a Justis (tube) and it has been dropped and I have my break cue that has never suffered any issues from the fall. (not joint capped)
Now could Jacks cases be improved, probably. I love my Justis, but could the snap inadvertently open, yes from someone brushing against the side of it, I think I have had the snap unsnap on one or two occasions. But never in a critical situation that could cause damage. In other words I have always caught it. The other side is, the case is never pointed down, so I don't know, or I can't say, that I would have ever had a cue damaged anyways. I am sure there are some people that might be aloof and not pay attention to their equipment.
Would it make sense for Jack to put a pad over the wood bottom? Sounds like something he might want to look into with all the old schoolers going to bumperless cues. Remember this is a recent trend, so he might need to catch up.
IMHO it's still the nicest case in that class of cases available today. There is nothing I see wrong with a Justis under everyday normal usage that would concern me.

If you want to Protect your Cue be it in a Justis or??? Think these
yes
U hit the nail on the head. This JB dude is one bitter balled old man. But think about it, if you spent your life making cue cases for broke, deadbeat pool players for a living, wouldnt you be a little bitter too. From the looks of all this, Mr. Barton obviously needs to go to his local scrub and rub today and release a little pent up frustration.

Done, 3x. Cost $20. Three different massage therapists. One of the upsides to living in China.
You'd go broke betting on the bitter part and the old part though. If you bet that I was pissed off and willing to fight then you'd have the nuts.
Anyway, I am done with it. I said what I wanted to say on video and the proof is all there for anyone who cares about watching it.

Thank you for ending it John. Now you both can use your energy to do something positive. That is my hope. You do what you do very well and Jack does what he does very well. Everybody can not afford to pay $66 to $1000 for a case. You have done a wonderful job of filling that void. For that I thank you. My first case was a 3x6 Instroke Buffalo.
