CLICK for bigger PIC! (Slide rule, and comparison case on the left NOT included!) Full size duplex rule case, maroon/burgundy outside, and black inside, fully padded nylon case. Velcro flap closure, with protected ID window. Black Dacron seam binding on all edges, and the back side has a rugged D-ring attachment, for belt loop use. Fits all common duplex rules of approx. 12.5 inch body size. The padded pocket design allow both thin and thick rules to fit snugly, always secure, never loose in the case to prevent cursor damage. All of these styles will fit well: K+E Duplex Rules (408X and 4181 styles) K+E Deci-lon rules Dietzgen Duplex 17XX rules POST Versalogs Hemmi 250/260 series Duplex rules Pickett N3, N4, N16, N500, N800 rules In addition, smaller rules, such as the Pickett N90X and N101X series, K+E and Dietzgen Mannheims, and Faber Castell Mannheims also fit well, but with a bit more side room, there's room for a pen or pencil too, if you want. Because these rules may be an inch to an inch and a half shorter, a small pad inserted into the bottom of the case gives an easier fit for quick removal. |

Small case comparison to Pickett Pocket Case, CLICK for bigger PIC! (Slide rule, and comparison case on the left NOT included!) Small Pocket size simplex/duplex rule case, supple black leather outside, and tan microsuede inside, with fully covered pocket clip. Internal envelope is 2 inches by 6 3/4 inches (subtract two times the thickness of the rule from the width to determine if your specific rule can fit). Optimized for all pocket Pickett 200/300/400/600/700 duplex rules of approx. 6 inch long body size. The flat pocket design allow both thin and thick rules to fit snugly, always secure, never loose in the case to prevent cursor damage. Despite the secure fit, rules are easily extracted, often better than the original cases. The case comes in a protective clear bag and white box and has our Sphere logo embossed on the top flap. We searched for 5 years to find a supplier that could make this style clip case, these were the result. A single case can ship cheaply in a padded first class envelope for just $6 to anywhere. All of these styles will fit well: K+E pocket simplex rules POST pocket simplex rules Hemmi pocket simplex rules Pickett N200/300/400/600/700 duplex rules In addition, some small K+E pocket duplex rules also fit well, and a variety of other vendor smaller pocket rules. It is slightly wider than the original Pickett case, to give more fit range. |
