With replacement ferrules and oft-repaired, thread-worn cases for my different flipsticks, it was finally time to get new cases. Unfortunately, the new cases do not have the same click fastening straps as older ones, necessitating some cutting, sewing and alternation; cannibalising straps from original cases to be fitted to the new ones. It would be much more useful if all the cases had straps that allowed for the original plastic opening/securing buckle attachment (ie around the waist as well as flopping about over the shoulder)
