The case is worth the $30 or so dollars off Ebay. I am not sure about the exact price I paid, but it is nice for the purpose. Like I said, it is just for a trip out of town or to the store. I bought the brown leather one. It has cedar lining and decent craftsmanship for the money. From what I've heard, I don't think you can go wrong with Xikar. I bought the case because it can hold large ring gauges and it has cedar lining. Pretty cool looking, too.
