Haven't really .. yet ..

Haven't really had the case yet, hopefully, in the
future, it will be a Murnak Vintage or Justis Light case.

You'd have to pry my old vinyl Instroke 2x4 out of my cold dead hands. It's a bit heavy (me too) but built like a tank and protects my cues absolutely. The long pocket is big enough to carry a jump-cue butt, and I can carry a spare shaft for my playing cue as well as the jump-cue shaft and the shaft for my breaker. The short pocket is exactly the right size for my 6-pack of chalk and gloves, etc.
 
My favorite case is a no-name case that I bought at Palace Billiards in Villa Park.

It will hold 4 butts and 8 shafts comfortably, but I could slip more in there if I really wanted to. It's a soft, padded vinyl case, opens lengthwise. It has five pockets, although two of them are really small, but quite handy.

The handle is padded too, very comfortable to carry, plus has a padded, removable strap. I didn't want leather, too expensive and two heavy, plus rain can do a number on leather.

Besides the sticks and whatever you can fit in the outer pockets, if I really wanted to I could easily bring along three cans of soda plus lunch plus who knows what else inside this baby...

Looks like leather but isn't, won't fool anybody into thinking it's too expensive. Very functional and protects my cues adequately.

Cost me a whole 95 bucks, tax included...

Did you see his 2X4 cases? And if so how did they look to ya?
Most of the cases I saw were about that size. Drop dead gorgeous.

I am talking about an Everyday Case, A Case you would be willing to Hump for a Week in Lost Wages (Las Vegas), or Valley Forge PA.

What would your One Case be, and what would ITS CONFIGURATION be. Plus why would you choose X-Brand Case , with X Configeration?

When I die, they will have to pry my Jack Justis natural tooled leather case out of the cold, hard fingers. If they do, I have others...click on the link.

Those are python skin. It looks cool but in general I would recommend something else because it's not exactly durable.
