Pool cue cases are made of durable materials that protect the cue sticks from scratches, dents, bends, and cracks. They come in different lengths to accommodate solid one-piece sticks and compact five-piece sticks. The best pool cue cases have shoulder straps for easy carrying, plus straps for securing cue sticks inside.
Soft Pool Cue Cases are usually made of soft leather, nylon, or cloth. They are much cheaper than other types of cue cases. They can protect cue sticks from dirt and scratches, but not from hard impacts.
Hard Pool Cue Cases are usually made of durable vinyl, metal, and wood. The more expensive models are covered in genuine leather or animal skin. Most of them have soft felt lining. They are bulkier but can protect cue sticks better.
