  • Leather cases, size 2 or 3?

    Leather cue cases look similar if not identical on websites of different vendors:

    http://www.peradon.co.uk/pages/cues/cases/leather1.html
    http://www.greenbaize.com/accessories.htm
    http://www.cues-cuecases.co.uk/Leather_Cue_Cases.htm
    http://www.mastercue.th.com/case/case.html

    Some of these cases have 2 parallel compartments and some others have 3 parallel compartments.

    Are these leather cases from the above vendors all from the same manufacturer or are they from different manufacturers, making different quality cases?

    I wonder if a size 2 leather case gives enough room for the cue, short butt extension, telescopic extension plus a cue towel. Does anybody know?

    The size 3 case doesn't have individual compartments, there are "only" shorter separators between the parallel compartments. Are these sufficient to prevent the cue elements carried in the case from moving and touching each other?

    And in general, which do you like better, the size 2 or the size 3 type leather case?

      You've got to be neat careful and cautious with a leather case no matter who made it or for what. for the first 5 years in my job I bought a decent different leather briefcase each year, then looking for my 6th I mentioned to the salesman in the shop I was getting a bit fed up of this lark as they wore so poorly and he pointed me towards a Samsonite. Still use it today and its in A1 nick 23 years on.

      As for my cue, until Samsonite make a cue case it does fine in a £20 aluminium 3/4 or a £13 vinyl case if I feel like using the shoulder strap to carry it. The vinyl one will probably last longer as theres a few dents in my aluminium one after 6 months.
