I actually received my ebay instroke knock off and it was everything a I expected it to be..... junk! Looks can be deceiving. It looks really nice from the outside but the minute I put my cues in case I knew its true identity. The tubes on the inside that hold the butt and shafts, stopped about a 1/3 of the way down. When you put your cues in, you can feel the tubes end and it feels like you are rubbing against card board! It probably is. You can squeeze the case on the outside and feel the housing of the tubes. But its not as bad as everyone points them out to be. It was definately worth the price. If anyone is interested in a cheap knock off Ill be willing to sell it really cheap!
