Great One on It's Way from JB Cases

It looks like the case has a full-length zipper on one side -- the side that does not have the handle. But I don't see any zipper pulls. Is it a compartment? What is it designed to carry? Where are the pulls?
 
On the long pocket, it has an L zipper on the out side to really get into the main pocket. The 2 zippers on the front, get into a smaller front side pocket for thin things like a tip tapper, thin tip rough shaper, papers, etc. Then the single side zipper is a jump cue zipper.

The short pocket has a U zipper for main pocket access. The 2 front zippers are for the face pocket.

I asked for this because I have thick things like a chalk holder, a pool prosthetic "hook", and thin things like cue sandpaper, money, tip tapper, that I want seperate. Basically, I hope to spend less time emptying pockets.

That zipper is the seam. It's one of the ways that allows us to do complicated pockets and other things and still have a seam. It stays permanently closed.

We have been doing this for a while on the prototypes and when Nathan wanted a prototype in leather we just carried it over.

We could just do it like a jacket and have a zipper that unzips. I guess that might have some appeal. I actually did this three years ago for the fun of it because I was trying to design a line of cases with interchangeable parts. And I did design such a line but it's not ready for prime time just yet.

Wow, so someday I can send this thing back to you and have another "jacket" made with no pockets and maybe some fancy leather work?

Let's see. . .This jacket for walking in good weather. . .A foul weather with reflective tape, some new design waterproof lid, orange color and dry pockets. . . .black nylon with hard pads and lid which won't open in a motorcycle wreck. . .hmmm, I'm still thinking!
 
In the mail bump!!!

You got yourself a real nice case, Nathan. Nice to be able to think it thru really well, from a utility standpoint, and then make it happen your way. Congrats!
