Hello everyone. I just got this case from Dinko

https://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?507948&p=6586898#post6586898


He is a new case maker and has a lot of talent

The case is absolutely gorgeous. The leather is strong and supple. The fittings, buckles and snaps appear to be solid brass and look and work great.
The two tone theme works very well and suits my taste perfectly.

The interior is just like my JB cases, tight and passes the upside down test. This case will absolutely protect my cues. Zipper on the pocket works very well.

The fantastic craftsmanship is evident in the stitching, hardware and build of the case

Buying from someone overseas with no real I trader or known reputation is usually a gamble, one I am happy I took.
He was extremely communicative, made me an extra strap pad with my initials gratis

Overall, a real craftsman, honest and reliable. NO gamble here. Just a sure thing

I attached Dinko's post because I am not good posting multiple pictures, but it is exactly as shown

Now, I can't wait for the pool halls to open!


A sincere thank you to Dinko.

regards all
Dave

No cowboy. It was already built when I purchased it

It took about 7 weeks to receive. Three weeks was inexplicably at USPS in JFK in New York

Hi Dave- Looking forward to some straight pool at Bayshore Billiards; hope to see you soon.

Dinko Great case, thanks again. Also, my wife's case is coming along very nicely. I won't show her any pix; just surprise her when it arrives. All she know is that it's some shade of red.

Talk soon.

Regards
Dave

Great job Dinko

Thanks for posting pictures.

Dinko also made the cases extra long with a pocket inside the lid reminiscent of the old Thomas cases; simply a removable force fit divider, can hold a cube of chalk and tip tool.

Looking forward to receiving these. The wine colored is for my lovely bride; the one with the initials is obviously spoken for. Other two are for a couple friends who admired the first two tone brown case I got from Dinko.

Thank you

I actually got several more cases from Dinko

They are all top notch He made pockets or pouches inside the top lid which hold chalk or a few other items

He is using a JB type interior which I like better than the tubes

Leather is exceptional soft and yet sturdy
Stitching and hardware are also great
Pockets are fully zippered, going around three sides

I've gotten black, burgundy and another 2 tone brown

He builds to your specs, follows up with progress photos and from order to delivery about 3 months

If you want a true custom case by a talented craftsman he's my top choice

Very honest and you'll be extremely pleased

Thanks again Dinko

Dave
