Reddit mentions: The best billiard cue cases

Wow great reply. The amazon one looks pretty good and I'm totally comfortable with that price. The customization of the second one would probably be great if I had any strong opinions.

This is the office cue that seems to be the best we have: https://www.amazon.com/50-off-Spider-19-20oz-billiard-retail/dp/B00G87LCFQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1482432174&sr=1-5&keywords=spider+pool+cue

I do enjoy the sort of modern design aesthetic, but if the C950 is a better value for consistent performance then I'll probably just pick that up. Your thoughts?

When you say nothing fancy what does that mean? Do you want a hard case, or a soft case? Do you want a strap to carry it on your back or is a handle enough. Maybe just under your arm. Are you looking for protection or just something to carry the cues easily? Do you need pockets on it?

I am assuming you want cheap... but don't expect them to last forever or hold up to serious use. I used to buy the cheapo amazon cases below and after buying several because they wear out, I decided to buy a JB Rugged (you get what you pay for). Jb cases are super protective, and you can get them as plain or as fancy as you want, but they are quality. https://jbcases.com/stock-cases.html?cat=8

There are plenty of nicer more expensive options that will last a long time and have a simple design. That is not what I am listing below.

Here is the simplest thing you could get:

Here is a cheapo case, but dont expect it to hold up to heavy use or wear.

Here is a soft cue case:

Here is a hard suitcase style case.

Not for flights, but rather a hassle-free way to move it around and store it. I got this pool cue case and liked the aesthetic. Thanks for your quick feedback btw. I'll probably go with a softshell case since they are more common.

Unnecessary, I think this is the same case.

Tarnish is a reaction of silver to sulfur in the air. Air flow around the flute will expose it to more sulfides, tarnishing it faster. A case prevents air flow, which keeps new sulfides from getting to the flute. The anti-tarnish strips absorb existing sulfides.

That being said, if you don't want to disassemble the flute in order to case it, you can stop stop airflow other ways. Like a glass display case, or a full length flute case. I have a pool cue case which is the correct length for an assembled b foot flute that I lined with foam. Whatever you use, put anti-tarnish strips in it.

Warning! If you leave your flute assembled ALL THE TIME (like, years..) the metal will bind up and it will be difficult to disassemble. Don't leave it assembled forever.
