Xcel C22EHR Exotic Leatherette 2×2 Hard Case – Black

Two cues, one case and a textured finish sum up the Xcel C22EHR. It is a 2×2 hard cue case with room for two butts and two shafts, aimed at players who carry a playing cue alongside a spare or a break cue. Koda Sports makes it for the Xcel value line, so the feature list is practical rather than fancy.

The exotic-texture leatherette exterior is embossed vinyl with a reptile-style grain, fitted over an oval polyform hard shell, which is Koda’s rigid moulded shell. A large zippered accessory pocket is joined by a smaller pocket, so bigger items and small ones do not have to share space. An adjustable shoulder strap completes the carry.

Black is the most understated colour in the C22EHR set. Body and trim are both black, so only the grain breaks up the surface. It makes a plain-spoken pool cue case that suits league play, and the two pockets mean the case can hold more than just the cues. If you want a 2×2 setup that looks the same in a dim bar as it does in daylight, black is the safe call.
