The leather on the limited edition Instroke cases

[Lou]

How's the leather on the Nappa & Nubuk Leather LIM2X4-03 Black/Cream Instroke? Does it look like it would stain or get dirty easily?

The leather is really nice. it is a smooth and soft leather but I would imagine that it would indeed stain easier than the regular leather or the buffalo cases. I think to preserve the beauty, you would have to take a little more care with it.

seem like you have a cue that the butts is a bit bigger than regular. if your case is a new one, it might be the tightness of the inner tube also giving you the problem. :)

hoped you have better luck when the case come back. :wink:

i sort of have the same problem. my viking is kinda hard to fit into my new saddle series instroke butt first, but it can be done. I wouldn't advise it though, might ruin the lining. my old instroke cowboy vinyl which i got from seyberts doesnt have the same problems regarding the tube size BUT the new instroke that i have is better... seems like Mr. Collins has been making some structural improvements to an already great product. It is lighter, has slightly different locks, zippers look different, the studs at the bottom are now plastic instead of brass (which i think is an improvement since the new instroke is not as heavy as my old one).

After all that babble, I'd say just put your cues joint first. It won't make much of a difference AND your tube linings wouldnt be as stressed. Just remember to put your shaft in gently - as mentioned in the attached instruction on how to take care of your case. That's the ticket.
