TESTIMONIALS FROM
SATISFIED CUSTOMERS</big></big> 
 </div>
 
Of course we aren't showing you the comments from unhappy customers
because we don't have any.  :-)   Just
kidding, of
course once in a while we get comments when people aren't totally
satisfied.  When it happens we do whatever we can to to make
them
happy. 
 
This page is a work in progress.  Since I never really
collected
all the nice things people have said I now have to go and find them and
bring them here. 
 
So here is what our customers have to say about their cases: 
 
 <hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><big>My Lifetime Case</big> 
 
 …. I have had many leather
cases over the years – I can’t even remember them all – and was never
really happy with any of them except for a little 1×2 case made by Marc
Turcasso. Yeah, I’m pretty picky. But I recently received a 3×4 case
John built to my specs – lots of design freedom with John – and I am
extremely happy with it in all respects. It’s a relief to finally have
my “lifetime case” to go along with my 28 year old “lifetime cue”. To
those who think “built in China” means lower quality, I have no comment
except to say that it’s not true with JB Cases.

Jeff just purchased another case from us and this is what he had to say
about  it: 
 
JOHN
YOUR SHOP PUTS OUT A GREAT CASE AND AS I'VE SAID BEFORE I BELIEVE
SECOND TO NONE AS I'VE SAID ON AZB AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. THE NEXT
TIME WE DO A CASE TOGETHER I'M GOING TO SEND YOU SOME PRINTS AND LET
YOU RUN WITH THE GENERAL IDEA. I HAVE ALSO BEEN THINKING ABOUT A CASE
MADE WITH PYTHON SKIN SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE SO IF YOU EVER RUN INTO A
GOOD PIECE OF THAT WE'LL HAVE TO WORK SOMETHING OUT ON THAT. SO THANK
YOU FOR THE OFFER OF KEEPING ME SATISFIED BUT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE
THAT MORE THAN ONCE. SO AGAIN I WISH YOU AND YOURS A SAFE SUMMERS
ENDING AND AS I TOLD KAREN I WILL SEND YOU SOME PICTURES OF ME AND ALL
MY JB CASES SOON. HAVE A GREAT DAY JEFF 
  
PS THIS IS A TRUE
STORY LAST NIGHT I GRABBED THE CASE OUT OF THE TRUNK OF MY CORVETTE AND
CARRIED IT INTO MY HOUSE.......NOW FOR THE BEST PART WHEN I WENT TO SET
MY CASE DOWN I REALIZED I HAD PICKED THE CASE UP BY THE STRAP HOWEVER I
WAS HOLDING THE CASE UPSIDE DOWN ALL THE WAY INTO MY HOUSE FROM THE
GARAGE. JOHN I HAD MY MONSTER TASCARELLA(7K-9K) IN IT IN FACT I HAD
TAKEN IT OUT OF THE FELLINI STYLE TASCARELLA CASE YOU MADE AND BECAUSE
OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CASE MY CUE IS STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION. SO
YOU CAN TELL THAT STORY AS ITS A TRUE EXAMPLE OF THE PROTECTION YOUR
INTERIORS OFFER. WELL ENOUGH OF MY BLABBERING...... 
                                                                                                              
AGAIN THANK YOU JEFF

4x8 Butterfly - 07-12-2013, 05:08 AM 
I have just received a JB butterfly 4x8, and thought I'd drop a few
words on it. The case is solid and appears to be very well constructed.
The attach points for straps and handles also seem to be very strong.
Being a butterfly, the case is very light. The leather has a great feel
to it, and although the design is simple, it stands out as an item that
that is obviously not mass produced. The pockets are fantastic; they
are easy to access, spacious, and the large pocket has a side
compartment with a sleeve for a jump cue. The shoulder is very
comfortable and has great padding. 
 
Perhaps most telling, is that when I had the case next to a fairly
eye-catching 'instroke', every person in the club made comments
suggesting they preferred the JB case, even at a cursory glance. And
this is in Korea, where knowledge of cases is minimal, and bling is
usually king. 
 
My only concern, and it's in no way a fault of JB Cases, is if the case
is safe enough to fly with. I often need to fly to events, and it just
didn't occur to me that a butterfly case may not have a shell that can
stand up to the luggage bay on an aircraft. 
 
By the way, in the picture of just the JB case, you can see my wallet
on the rail. It cost $1400. As I was taking these quick pictures (which
are pretty shoddy by the way, sorry John), the fact that my small
leather wallet cost just under two times the combined value of those
two striking cases made me realise that the price of a custom leather
case from someone like John is actually really freaking good value. 
 
Anyway, I'm very happy with the case, and it feels great hanging on my
shoulder, not just from a comfort perspective, but knowing that I have
on display a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Flowers Tribute Case reviews 
 </a> 
I
had picked one of these up about a month or so ago.I can say that I am
very pleased with my purchase.It has become my everyday case.It's a
2x4.Everything fits nice and tight.I even can flip it up-side down with
the lid open and nothing falls out.I feel very safe with my cues in
it.For the money as far as protecting my cues I'm finding it hard to
believe there's anything better on the market today.I'd just like to
say TAP...TAP...JB!!Great work on a great product!:thumbup::thumbup:

----------------------------------------- 
After
being a long time It's George fan I decided that JB's Ultra Pad
interior was just calling my name for me to test out. I now own a 3x6
Flowers tribute case and I can't say enough about how happy I am with
it. The exterior of this case is very easy on the eyes. It looks very
well built with quality hardware and it seems "Heavy Duty" but is
surprisingly light in weight. Both pockets large and small have the "L"
zipper configuration and makes accessing these areas very easy. The
large pocket also has a 3rd zipper with a very nice sewn in Pocket to
hold a jump cue handle. 
 
Now the good part......This Ultra Pad
interior is flat out awesome! Nothing rattles or moves when the case is
loaded with one cue or three. It's not loose in anyway, and it's not
tighter than a gnats ass when fully loaded either and there is plenty
of room in-between the cues. There's a very nice "snug" fit when you
insert a cue. 
 
All in all I have nothing negative to say about
this case. It exceeds my expectations in every way possible. I couldn't
see myself ever going back to an It's George case as a daily carrier so
I sold my 3x6 here last night. 
 
This case gets a 5 star rating from me. 
If your considering one of these and are skeptical find somebody that
has one and check it out! 
 
------------------------------------------ 
 
I find it the
best buy in its price category, in fact, I'm not sure I'll ever spend
less on a cue case again (after using an original "J.EF Q Case" from
Jay Flowers - made by Nora Van Horn, of course - for many years, still
in good condition, by the way, I started buying cheap ones and replace
them once they start falling apart).

Following is a collection of testimonials gathered for me by a friend
from the postings on the forum AZ BILLIARDS.  I haven't edited
these or otherwise sorted them beyond what my friend did. 
Most of
the time there is a link to the original thread so you can read it in
context.  
 
These testimonials are also NOT inclusive of anything after about
summer 2012.  I will update the list at some point with more
of
them when I can.

 GTF
Cases... a review - 12-28-2007, 02:08 PM
 Well
well well, what do I have here....
 A
brandy new GTF case for review....
 Let
me start off by saying, anyone who knows RSB knows that John Barton
and I have had our differences. So by no means am I schilling for his
case design. In fact I probably hoped I could find a lot wrong so I
could tell him he can't even copy worth damn.. but that is not the
case, no pun intended.
 I
have a smooth leather 1 x 2 GTF case. So let me begin my review...
 Presentation
is very nice.. the bag it came in is very nice. A product tag, a key
ring with key and swatch of leather. I have to say, this part is
really well done. Grade A
 Latch:
Now everyone knows any latch John picks out is suspect. But this is a
nice brushed brass tone latch that does the job. The latch also has
definition, little extra accent on the ends. The key works, one
revolution clockwise to lock, counter to unlock. So far so good after
12 times. The latch on mine is attached via screws so if I needed to
I could remove the latch with minimal effort. I could say that they
should be riveted. But lets face reality, on all these style of cases
you can pry the latch off with no problem. Grade: A, if it starts
failing D.
 Leatherwork:
The seam is very good, the ends are very good. In fact the ends are
finished nicer than the Kelli I have and the Fellini. I will use it
and see how it all stays together, but right now its very, very
clean. Grade A
 Tube
work: Cap: It looks like its a three piece cap. The extruded tube,
and a top insert, and a cap. The cap is probably molded and has a rim
that allows it to sit flush in the top of the tube. *guessing*This is
probably a better design than a glued in cap. Plus I would think it
would double as the bottom assembly. Case is longer than my Fellini.
