Soft Lucasi, holds 4 cues and has two pockets. Don't need anything more.
Think it was about $60 new.

Poll: Your cue case cost how much ?
- Thread starter ronscuba

Right, but the poll should've had a free option. All of my cases were free given by friends.
Down Sized A Couple of Years Ago!
My everyday case is a Porper 2x4 leather case although I do own an older Justis 3x6. The Justis is just too darned heavy to lug around and I also don't need to carry 3 cues now that my wife has her own case.

I could have added that option, but honestly it did not cross my mind. If you received a case for free, vote what the case would have cost if you bought it.
Thanks
Hi Eeyore... I mean... Slim!
(Just ribbin' ya.) To answer your question, the word "need" is relative. And I was being a little sarcastic when I used the phrase "feel an urgent need." Of course, there's no "need" in pool, other than to have equipment of sufficient quality that you can hit the ball correctly (i.e. the tip doesn't keep popping off). Heck, a house cue is fine, and I personally pride myself in my wallabushka skills (snapped off many a tournament, just walking in and pulling a cue off the wall).
I don't "need" my cues or pool stuff. Rather, I "want" my cues and pool stuff. And I've no qualms about that, either.

Glad you realized i was ATEMPTING to be humorous.
just trying to stimulate conversation.
I guess we all really do need stuff.

Especially when it comes to pool related stuff.

i swear by the porper 2x4's.. they are light weight , durable, hold everything nice and tight.. and arent that expensive.. and best of all .. made in the usa...
i used to have more expensive cases... i had a older jack justis, guisseppe, instoke... the problem is.. they are all heavy.. and they are too nice and your constantly worried that they are going to get scratched, marred or damaged..
with the porper.. its cheap enough where you dont have to care and its made well enough where you dont have to worry...
every year.. i buy 1 at the expo from meullers for a great price.. even i need it or not..

I have no idea what my McDermott box 2x2 cost in 1980s dollars or today's dollars. Other than that one, I too am buried in free cases from cue purchases. My problem with the leather cases I have seen on this site is they tend to appeal to bikers or cowboys. I would love to see a sophisticated case along the lines of an Italian loafer, for me quality is in the leather and the stitching, not in the "tooling".
Whitten cases don't appeal to you? I find those to be very "italian" in design and execution.
I like Weyerhauser 2x4s, myself. They are also lightweight, durable, hold everything nice and tight, and depending on the lumber yard where you get 'em, aren't that expensive. Pair them with a good quality nail gun (Hilte) and radial arm saw, and you've got yourself the makings of... well, whatever your creative mind desires!
...Oh wait, we were talking about cue cases... my bad.

Well.... in comparison to purses and shoes - pool cases are a bargain at ANY price. I have in my possession a blue Prada bag that cost about $5 short of $2000. I was in the Louis Vuitton store on 5th Avenue a few weeks ago and if you can get out of there without spending $1000 then you are a magician and you probably only got a small wallet.
Really, the work that goes into most custom cases is as much or more than the work that goes into making a purse or a pair of shoes. Yet, on average the shoes and purses and leather bags are WAY higher in price and most of them are production bags even with the high price.
So enjoy it because due to competition you, the consumer, have a huge amount of choice with more than 60 active case makers and more than 100 brands of cases on the market at prices that are priced well below what other leather and vinyl goods are at.

People are willing to pay a premium for status, brand name, artistic design, and exclusivity. You can pretty much apply it to almost anything.
