leather cases..

[cain29]

I should think that they are fairly similar . I've got a North Wales Case .....very good quality ......only downside is that Crispian does not use end protectors and my case looks a bit battered .

My North Wales case has end protectors, which is a good job cause I'm always banging it when getting it out of the boot.

Need to know ?????? Don't think Crispian puts them on

[crispian jones]

was not me

[Neil Taperell]

Why not ?????????

I'm going to hassle you until you do

[crispian jones]

If ever i do offer them it will be at a cost neil, as the ones used on other cases would not go on my cases (corners to rounded) and because of the leather i use squaring off the corners is not an option for me either (have tried)
So my only option would be to have them custom made for me in a slightly rounder fitting, if you know where i could get these made then let me know ?

[Neil Taperell]

I'm glad you don't do them Crispian ......otherwise i would be buying another case

Your new website looks great. Some really nice cases .

I remember Glover was doing the end protectors and the cases were slightly rounded at the ends . I'm sure someone here would be able to find someone to make them for you , there isn enough good lads on here .

I would not mind paying to have them put on either .

Neil I have been asking around for awhile and cannot find anybody til Now! I have seen the Ones on eBay etc but didnt like them the Nicest I have seen so far is on Stu Greens Cases Brass Corners which look ok.

I have tried all the Obvious Cue/Case Makers/Suppliers Tony Glover, Stu Green, Crispian, etc but what you gotta remember is Most Ends of the Cases are Different so you would have to get Correct Measurements.

I will Post up on here as soon as I find a Supplier who has Nice Corners ok.

Didnt buy the case direct from Crispian so don't know whether they were a later addition or not. If they are they have been done very well as they are very sturdy and flush to the leather.

[Neil Taperell]

Almost identical to the one's that were on my Glover case .....except they returned around the corners slightly more .

[cain29]

Protectors or not, it is the nicest case I have had the pleasure to own and certainly see myself as keeping it and not changing it. Wish I could say the same about my cue haha. Although I just changed to maple and and am very happy with my new cue and the way I'm playing, see how long it lasts

[MikeWooldridge]

I have a Stamford case, which does have some kind of padding under the leather and the interior of the case is memory foam coated with suede, it is an amazing case. If you wanna buy a good leather I wouldn't think twice about recommending Stamford, I haven't ever owned a Crispian Jones case however they look very good. I would be interested to compare the way the two are made. :snooker:

crispians cases are better

[gazza147]

Im Not keen on those Brass Protectors but thats my Personal Opinion, I am after the Brass Corners not the Strips!
