Hello all, I am in the market for my first real case and I have narrowed it down to these two cases. I understand everyone loves JB cases and I would buy one of those in a heartbeat except I want a leather case and I cannot justify the cost of the JB leather cases because at this time I just don't travel with my cues very much. So that being said I am trying to stay between 150-200 dollars and these two fit the bill. Having said that which of these two in a 3x4, 3x5, or 3x6 would you purchase if it was your money?? If you having any pictures of yours (specifically the interior) I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your responses in advance.

Neither of those are " real cue cases "

Unmmmmmm.... the vincitore is not real leather...maybe the strap...
If you like to see how they wear out and how the hardware/zippers break I've got one to show you and the cues floop around like fish in those junk cases..
Giuseppe cases I've seen last longer and built better but the zippers will still fail..

I'll dig up a pic and post of the wear/fail on vincitore or Giuseppe..


Anyway you can I suggest to save up your cash and buy a real leather case from one of the several case makers that make cases that will last you and your kids/grand kids a few lifetimes.
The offbrand production cases is a wolf in sheeps clothing....<~ they are out to get you.

Ok...well how about my first case that is not a 1x1 $30 job.

Any pics you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Jeff

VINCINTORE. Better than Giuseppe.

However, because I bought pretty outside and shitty inside is why I make cases today. Never again will I put my cues into a case without knowing how it's made all the to the bottom inside or it.

Thanks for the reply John, I have built a case and have it saved on your site. I may end up skipping the leather and getting the JB rugged because of what I have learned on here. Your site says 8 weeks to make it...is that pretty accurate??

Thanks,

Jeff

This pretty much sums that up'

If you want a leather look maybe a instroke premier. Decent case for the money, it is vinyl, but appears to be leather.

I picked up a j/b rugged, and couldn't be happier. But had a premier for years, sold it to a buddy who has been using it for the last 7 years and it is still in the same shape I sold it to him in.

When i got my JB rugged 3 years ago it was like a snapper. Slide those butts and shafts in snug as a rug. Now it's like the sleeve of an old peacoat. Unless you pack it full the stuff rattles around. Like my first wife.

Thanks for the replies everyone...JC, I about died when I read that! Ha Ha! That is interesting to hear. That is the first negative I have heard about a JB case.

Lol. This is funny. Also why we now have removable interiors. You can get a younger model easily.

Most of the time we are able to deliver in 8 weeks or less.

I bought this one.
Its built like a tank and holds the cues snugly.

I carried a 2 X 4 Giuseppe for a decade + before giving it to my son, who carries it now. Never had a single issue with the case, and it has held up nicely. Is it a JB, or an On-Q? No...Will it get the job done? Yes.

Guiseppe is not leather.
