this is the case that i'm using. it's the best case for the money that i've ever owned. well now that i think about it it's the best case for the cash that i've ever even seen. unless you throw your case down when you get to or from then you really don't need all that extra hard tubes n such. this case can hold up to 8 cues if you really want to do it. i've had 6 and 12 shafts and it wasn't bad at all.
