I currently own 8 cases, but i've owned a number of the more popular cases (Justis, GTF, Ron Thomas etc.) in the past that I sold. None of my cases are high $$ cases, but they are all good for storing and carrying cues. The nicest case I currently own is a 2x4 Whitten, but I don't carry my cues in it when I go out to play pool. I use a low end 2x4 Porper case and of all the cases I've owned and currently own it's my favorite and the cheapest case. I can get all of my junk in it and I don't have to worry about something happening to it. I like looking at fancy tooled leather cases (Justis in particular), but I wouldn't use it if I had one so it doesn't make sense for me to own one.
