Double Bass Lemur (BOW) cases

This time I'm in the right place, Ed :D
I got my Lemur A 1014 French Pocket Bass Bow Case today. It's been on order (out of stock) for months. It seems very strong and well-made although I don't know what the French mean by "pocket." At 3 3/4 x 1 7/8 inches, it doesn't come close to sliding in to any bass case bow pocket that I've seen.
However, I will keep it. At less than $45 bucks it's a bargain. But, I still wish I could find one that would slip into my bass case pocket rather than having to carry it over my shoulder using the sling like Tonto's quiver or Minnesota Fats' pool cue ;)
 
Good to know. I see that their bow cases are are sewn on the outside front of the bow cases and are kind of tubular (3-D) in construction. Good design! On my bag and most that I've seen they are flat pieces of material sewn flat against the bass case so even the bow by itself slips in rather tightly.
I guess I'll have to live with it. I can't see buying a new bass case to accommodate my bow case.
Maybe I'll crazy glue it on :)
