Frank, maybe using some type of inserts like an ATA case that could be cut to size?

Frank,
I can understand that totally as tey are not like bags. It's a shame because I believe they would do well.

Richard, looking closely at the leather construction of the case I can see that there are three main pieces of leather. The two ends and one big wrap-around leather. At one end of the wrap-around leather is where the two ends are sewn half way around, then the other end of the wrap-around is used for the opening and closing of the case. Correct me if I am wrong about this, because this is what I am assuming by looking at the photo. What I do not like about this construction, that I am assuming, is when the loose end of the wrap-around is being closed, it does not appear to be sturdy enough for the case itself.

I would like to see more close-up photos of the ends of the case when it is closed, and the back of the case where the leather bends. When I build my case I want to make sure the leather is stiff and strong enough to protect the cups. I am confident that Frank Starsini has way more experience than I do about leather construction, but I want to try building one myself and I want it to be a good one. And I am going to put an end to this "Black" colored case, why on earth does it have to be "Black?"

Have fun folks!

Hi madkiki - the case is pretty robust, especially when the cups are inside. It's good enough to carry and protect the cups. It's a lot less bulky than a lens case and certainly lighter. I wouldn't describe it as a rigid case, but it's not soft by any means. Photos are tricky because of the colour - will try and take a couple more.

This thread has gone in a lot of different directions but I thought I would add to it that my set of Princess cups has arrived from RNT II. They got here about a week ago and look and feel great. I assume others must have receieved theirs too but I haven't see any postings indicating that.

I dug through the box looking for the COA and couldn't find it but Epiphany quickly replied to my query that they had had a printer problem and would be mailing them out seperately.

Not yet. But good to hear they're being shipped.

I have been using my Princess Cups since I received them in January 2009, and am very pleased with them. I ordered them in October 2008, and apparently they had to redesign the saddle so it took a while for my order to come through, but I sure am glad that I waited.

I had not received any emails from RNT2, when asking about the delay, so I started a claim process through Paypal, just to get a response. Epiphany immediately refunded, but I insisted that there be no refund. I just wanted the cups! And was happy to wait, so long as I knew what was going on.
She did throw in a few extras (booklets) which was very nice and one of the booklets helped me work out how to build my table so I could do 6 loads + end with pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
Ok the rabbit part was not in the book, but the 6 final load method was.

Good to hear that people are stil getting their stuff. I'm still waiting on a few items and haven't managed to get through to Jake or Epiphany by PM or e-mail.

Richard,
resent the email back to you again. Please PM me after you get it. I just cleared out my PM box so I know there is room here

Epiphany

Hi Epiphany - good to hear from you. I haven't got the e-mail, so will re-send the original. Message via PM to make sure I'm using the right address for you.

Richard,
received the email and PM, thank you. I'm replying now via the Email.

Got it! - thanks

Then I'll want a hand-stitched Gazzo c*nd*m!

I don't think you would like one. The asterisks are really painful.
