Just be aware that in a Medican tourist town 95% of handcrafted items for sale will have come from China.
Agree with the other poster in that there is little likelihood of getting a hand-tooled case there. They do make leather stuff down there but is more along the lines of belts, wallets, jackets, etc. Good luck, you may shit out and find one.
Personally, I'd love to hear a followup to your mission to hunt down a hand-tooled case in Mexico. As others have said, it seems fraught with disappointment. Especially if you're not diligent.
An excellent alternative is a Justis case. Just plan on spending a little more. The bonus is that it holds value. It doesn't come with an adventure, though.
PS. I've been to Cancun numerous times and I got nothing. I'd probably start by finding pool tables that locals use.

Went to Cancun, I got something. My wife got something even worse. We both vowed to never again go further south than Key West. You want a leather case? Go to SBE.
I had a pair of boots made in Mexico years ago whilst I was there. The guy measured my foot and I was wearing new boots the next day. I am impressed to this day.
John Barton once sold me a hand tooled leather case from china. It was pretty nice.

I have been to Mexico around 40 times in the last 17 years or so . The only leather goods I have seen were wallets,belts,holsters and boots . I am friends with a few locals , I will ask about cue cases when we go next month . I really hope the op relates his experience in his search for a case .
