Many of you have asked about the weight of Jim's cases so here goes: I just received my 3x6 case w/the cue extension pocket option. The case weighs 7lb, 8.5oz, which includes both shoulder straps and even the key to the lock that comes hanging on a zipper.
By the way, nice case. Leather & workmanship is terrific and you won't believe the quality of the handles. The only thing that may be a concern is the fact that all the tubing (butts & shafts) is one length that ends level with the shell. I spoke with Jim before it shipped and requested he send me the case with no inserts installed, instead sending the foam inserts separately for me to insert to customize it for my cues. That works fine. If you think about it, his construction method helps maintain the integrity of the case from top to bottom. it's just something to get used to.
Hope this helps those who were interested.
