Hard Box Cases Tried and true Traditional Box Cases are still a great favorite. Any legend of billiard champions will probably tell you it was the first case they ever owned. A durable hard box with nice felt lining ensures no damage to be done to your pool stick. Cues will be secure with lockable latches. Sterling Box Cue Cases come in aluminum, alligator (which is embossed vinyl), silver, and vinyl and are all nicely packaged.
