F/S Cuemaster Cue case Made in Taiwan

[JB Cases]

Looks like a Jack Justis to me also, and it is made off shore? Let me do the math, the same Case from Jack Justis (the real thing is about $700.00), and your Faux Jack Justis Case is $700.00

Please tell in in 300 words or less when I would want your case made offshore over a REAL Jack Justis Cue Case......

P.S. You only did a FAIR Job of knocking off Jacks Cases.

But I will compliment you on excellent photo illustration of your product.

I don't think they were trying to knock off Justis. I think that they settled on the Justis/Flowers style as the best canvas for their designs.

It is quite clear from the tooling skill displayed that IF they had wanted to copy Justis down to the last little arrowhead then it would have been quite easy to do.

These folks have put a lot of effort into creating wonderful Asian themed designs that are full of vitality and color.

I wouldn't spend 700 on a Justis copy either - but I would spend $700 on an original like these, that is when apples to apples are compared and the cases are truly compared for the work that on them and in them.

i wonder who copied the idea of having a cue being thick at the handle to being thin at the tip!

Everyone is a copy cat now. Putting points and wraps and stuff on it. Copycats all of you!

Those questions have been answered on their website.

'Made in Taiwan - 100% satsifaction guarantee with refund less shipping.'

Don't know how long.

Except for the service center in the USA part. That would be my concern as well.

Raw Materials: Um why? But to answer that the only material that is suited for tooling is vegetable tanned leather. The tubes are surely the same type of plumbing and electrical tubes used in similar tube cases.

From the pictures it seems as though they didn't try to go with any kind of lightweight interior that is found on a lot of "el-cheapo" cases and on Jack's "Pro-Lite" cases. That could be a bonus or a detraction depending on your personal preference. I get requests for both styles.

Thanks for all the conversations
First of all, about the copy thing....
Most of the cases on the market look similar to each other, dont they? tube style, tooling, side handle, strap.... knocking off jack's case? if you have the chance to put our case with jack's case together, you can see how different they are. the design of side handle is different, so is the design of back strap, no need to mention the gravings...
Can you guys say all those 6 points custom cues also did a great job of knocking off SW cues? how many cuemakers are making hoope style cues?
Our cases are not trying to copy any other cases!!!

Second, about the price...
You may not like the case, but you can't judge our price when you dont know how much work we have done behind... all our cases are 100% handcrafted (check the following link: http://cues.tw/english/index.php?page=cuecases_02 ) every single part of our cases is done manually. So we may use the same graving but the position will never be at the same place. For last 2 months, only 25 of our case have been done. Why took us so long for only 25 of them? think about it and you will find out our case is worth buy!
The leather is all from Japan, the people who did all the graving for us is the world champion of leather graving.... the work we have done here is much much more than what you can imagine.

Third, about the warranty...
Our cases are whole life warranty.. you can exchange every damaged part when any part of our case is broken or got old. But since our cases are 100% handcrafted, you have to ship it back to Taiwan then we can do the repair things for you. Still thinking 700 usd is expensive? whoelse can give you whole life warranty and do the repair job for you when its broken.

Let me know if you need more information!!!
Again thanks for you all!

regards,
jor

Cases

If your looking for a nice case to use every day then you simply can't beat a talisman case very well made not to fancy and the price couldn't be better.

But they are a little on the heavy side don't you think?

The lightest case that offers the best protection by far i think is still the old It's George case.

Jack Justis cases are nice but a little too expensive for me to use as an everyday case.

Cuemaster case are quite nice but seems to be just as expensive as a Justis. And the overdose of tooling is driving me dizzy.......

If you like the George style of construction and protection then you might like this one the we just did.

Hmm... Not bad at all. But most of the It's George cases that i have own does not have a handle. I dun like too much metal parts on the handle like the kind you see on brief case or carrying case. I like th all leather handle that are on those old 1x2 brunwick case. like this:

The pouches are kind of Joe Porperish......kekeke How bout something to conceal the zippers!

As you wish -

Here is the handle on a new box case we are doing:

As for the zippers - well, i kind of like this design for now and if the client wants to change it in the future we can certainly do it. Thanks for the input.

I have the 2x4 and it's lighter that any case i have picked up in a 2x4 including whitten, porper, giuseppe, instroke and Justis not sure why you say they are heavy even friends at the local pool hall say it's the lightest case they have held.

Me too,the Talisman Case 3/5 was the lightest Case was I ever own and I owned many Cases in 28 Years since I played Pool.

My only worry with a case such as these or some of the newer cases with the nice tooling by John Barton is........ if I had to sell the case tomarrow could I get 85% of my money back almost immediately like I can with a Justis?

Great point.

 

[BadKarma]

Note to self:

Nice cases. $700+, I will never own one. Research item: How many more balls are pocketed by someone with a $700 case over someone with a $50 case? Accu Stats here I come.

 

[kgeorgia]

Let me say something about Justis Cases. I haven't seen any in my life but i definatelly want to acquire on since the whole setup of the case is of my taste. However, when i came in touch with him when he was selling couple of used ones on ebay, he told me that he wanted almost $200(!!!!) for shipping cost. I was wondering if i asked him to rent a choper to bring it to my door. Ok i am from Greece and i bought an Instroke 3x7 which is kinda heavy for $60 shipping Express, but $200?

Another issue is that used Justis when they are heavy tooled, by default, if not 100% for sure 95% of the cases, they have the owner's name on it. And i am asking: why to carry a case with another person's name on it? I have found several cases, like Mike Coltrain's one ($500...well down the 85% we are talking i guess) and 2 others that i can't recall there names around $500 too.

Since Cuemaster's cases don't have the small upper pouch, we can't call them Justis replicas. That's my opinion. Waiting for feedback

There are some small things that are diffrent between jacks and these. The pockets are held together with rivets on jacks and on these they are sewn. And the lid straps have two snaps on the cuemaster, one on jacks. I have one of jacks and the quality is top notch, no complaints. But I have to admit that these are really Nice looking. I hope to hear a review on one of these soon.

Great question: Efrin Case if sold at retail by Jack Justis would be over $700.00 that is one.

Ferrari is nice car. 200k+. Twenty minutes it takes me to get to work either having a Ferrari or a Fiat Punto. Got the point?

 

[BadKarma]

I guess I overextended the Sarcasm button!!!!

I know it's all about image and being able to afford one. I guess it'a all about the way we were raised. I just have a hard time justifying a $700 cue case, but if it's holding a $1500 cue it makes sense.
