Who has a JB case on order?

[nksmfamjp]

I know many of us have JB cases on order, so I thought I would start this to pass the time. . .

Who has a case on order from JB and what's he making ya?

I have a leather case on order based on the synthetic prototypes which has been on here. It will surely be a sweet case. It will be made from embossed/textured leathers since I like a plainer look and the functional durability of non-smooth leather. I also can't seee myself spending what great tooling costs. If I could, JB has made some great ones! Base case link.

I have a JB Custom Case on order, it is a cross between many Pool Cue Case, as I am writing this I understand it is in an airplane headed to Arizona.:shocked2: I am told it has a Window Seat....:scratchhead:

Flying First CLASS!.....LOL:yikes:

I have a 4x8 butterfly case being made.

I'm getting ready to have one on order. I think I can get more for my money from JB than from some other "unnamed" expensive cue makers. Thanks Cocobolo Cowboy for the suggestion. I appreciate it.

My case would have probably cost $3000 from the "other guy" when I was finished with the tooling so I was going to settle for a lot less.

I have a 3x6 soft ostrich skin case that is FANTASTIC. It took a lot longer than I expected, but, quite frankly, it was worth it. John's committment to excellence is second to none.

Well I am sure you will be happy with your JB Custom.

I have one on order as well. No clue what is going to look like. I asked John to incorporate an eagle and the name Benfica on it.

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm on the list and have sent a deposit in...John said we'd start the design around the 30th...a 2x4 secure tube in a Celtic theme to fit 58" to 60" cues...I'm real excited about it!!! John's work is impeccable...:smile:

Good news for everyone the King of the Cue Case Makers,:wub: is Taking Orders, again, and he and his team are working Six Days a Week building Custom Cue Cases to order.:wave2:

I'm working with John on a case.
It is a work in progress and at this moment it is anyones guess what it will end up being.
I have NO doubt that John will produce something that I love.

You all will be first to see it.

We were working on a case but he stopped answering my emails. I have no idea what happened.

As I remember it from May/June of this year: twice I asked for a preliminary photo or drawing of the proposed artwork and how much deposit he wanted and never heard back.

I'm in a similar situation with my order. I haven't heard back since I sent John my sketches...

I've just started the process. John is making me a case very similar to Chris' case. I just love the color and how simple yet functional it is. It's going to be a 3 x 5 with the individual pvc tubing.
I know there has been a lot of talk about John being banned and I'm really not sure of the details. All I know is he has been the nicest person to work with so far. He has gone far and beyond to make me feel comfortable with my purchase. He is a thorough guy. The little details are important to him and I love that. I would highly recommend John to build your case.
I'll post pics when I get it.

If you are working with John you may want to follow back up with him.
He sent out a newsletter yesterday proclaiming e-mail bankrupt and wants to re-establish relationships with customers who are interested or working on a case.
I'm committed to getting a case from John and in turn am willing to keep in touch.
Everyone is different but I wouldn't wait for John to get back to you or you might drop off his radar.

I am also comitted 100% to getting a case from John. I'm in no hurry, and I want John and company to take their time on making my case. I also don't think anyone is going to drop off John's radar. It's actually a small blessing for me that I haven't gotten my case yet....I have had too many pool related expenses lately...

I also received the same email. I have tried establishing contacts many times over this past year. I got an initial reply and then not much after that. I replied to the email also hoping to get a response and still nothing. I even pm'd "KAREN" with no luck. I have a JB case now and love it but I guess I'm just not meant to have any more

After seeing this thread and realizing that I was not the only one, and then getting a newsletter from John, I sent him a final email. He responsed immediately! So... we're back in the process.

It looks to me like he had a serious addiction to azbilliards that was causing him some very real dysfunction in his life.

That's to be excused, since he's now abstaining from the offending substance. :groucho:
