I am not going to plaster your site with all my stuff, but this one is special. This guy is Joel 'Bones' Hanson and he makes what I consider to be the very finest darts cases in the world. He made me the one in this video and I ordered another one from him too. They are both superb pieces of craftmanship and beautiful things to look at. I cannot recommend his work highly enough!

Totally agree, Joel's cases are a thing of beauty - here's mine (yes I support the mighty Hammers lol). I'm thinking of getting another done with space on the back for kite flights for when I give up using the Cosmo's lol

The thing with them is, apart from looking like a work of art, they are more solid than a normal case and they are thinner as well so they are easier in your pocket.
If you like to carry some spares with you then no problems - you can have space on the back for spare flights, and for the stems you can also have a little compartment carved out on the side.
I just wish my Cosmo set up would fit in it without a squeeze lol

Well if I played in a league I would get one, as it is my darts just sit at home so no need to get one as yet, but I really like them.

This is an interesting topic - I'm almost as addicted to the perfect case as much as I am addicted to the perfect dart. Here is what I made a while ago:

Nice looking cases Larry - do you have a bigger picture though as it's hard to see all the detail

CB - take a look at the Bonzwa site and click on the showcase gallery link at the top and you can see a lot more of Joel's handiwork - they are amazing and definitely well worth the investment
