Poison Case Buying Guide
A Poison cue is only as protected as the case you carry it in. Whether you're deciding between the camo-print Covert line or the color-matched Armor hard cases, or just figuring out what "3x5" actually means, this guide covers what to know before you buy.
How To Choose The Right Case
Three factors decide which case actually fits how you play.
Size
Case capacity is listed as butts × shafts — a 1x1 holds one butt and one shaft, a 3x5 holds three butts and five shafts. Buy for the cue (and extra shafts) you actually own, plus a little room to grow.
Hard vs. Soft
Poison's Armor line is hard-shell (ultra-vinyl construction) for maximum impact protection; the Covert line is a lighter, soft ballistic-nylon build with a camo finish. Hard cases protect better in transit; soft cases are lighter for everyday carry.
Style
Poison cases lean into bold color and pattern — Armor's signature colorways versus Covert's tactical camo. Pick the one that matches how loud you want to walk into the room.
