I guess its OK, if you like PERFECTION!!!!! I think this is the prettiest case I have ever seen, and I've seen alot! I am not usually a big fan of cases with mix and match leathers, but the ostrich skin looks great as an "inlay". Very nice tooling as well. Keep up the great work, Jack. I think I would be scared to put a cue in it. It is nicer than most cues I have!
