Well then I guess I'm confused then because his site has nothing about pool.
John Hager senior makes a very nice case. You let him know what material you want to make the case out of and he will make it. He has a serial # on all of his cases in case it were to be stolen you have a way to recognizing it. His website is http://jwhager.com/toc.htm.
I am saving up to buy one. They are not cheap but there are awesome. He use to live in Texas but he has recently moved to Georgia. I could go on and on about them but you will have to check them out for yourself.

I had a local guy, Ken Timm of Sleepy Hollow Leather, make a soft black leather case. It is probably his first and last cue case. Cost about $150.
I gave him an old torn vinyl case to use as a pattern, since it was his first.
It turned out great. Great quality but low profile for taking into bars.

I've been looking for a leather case too. I've found that the leather tooling guys that usually don't make cases charge as much or a lot more for a 1x2 than the full time case makers. And most of the ones I 've seen samples of don't have very good interiors. Just what I've found and I'm still looking. I've got a McD case I'm going to recover some time soon. I've done it once, but had to take it all off and just haven't tried again.

Sorry, no pics, and no camera. I'll see what I can do, though.
