Accessory Discussion / Reviews>Cheap Dupont Case?
staminator 08:39 PM 01-13-2011
I'm picking up a Dupont next month for a pretty good deal, but I want a case to protect it from unnecessary scratches and dings. Problem is, it's Dupont...which means $$$$$ for an official case. I did some Google searching but all I can find are the official cases. Anything out there that you know of which would fit the lighter. Check out this pic:

My bad. Realized I put the picture in a private album. Changed the setting so it should appear correctly now. If not, here is the direct link: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=5185

I should have been more specific. It is not an Xtend, but a Ligne 2.

Buy the soft xikar case that I referenced in the link in that other post. Your lighter will fit in there. Actually I have an extra if u want it

What's your price point? And are you buying your Dupont from a legitimate retailer?

I'm getting the lighter barely above cost from a B&M.

Not to knock your B&M, but are they a retailer for ST Dupont?

And price point was in reference to the cost for the case.

A buddy of mine brought a fake one back for me from China and as Keith (BigAsh) and the guys at Holts (which is an authorized retailer) can attest to, it looks very real. And it even has the ping sound.

You can find a Fake one on Ebay pretty cheap. I bought one that was a nice quality a few years back and it still is holding up well. Quality can vary depending on source.

Here are a few on Ebay...

A little off topic but its interesting: Dupont has the cases made in the same factory as JetLine cases are made!

What are these? I did a quick google search, but didn't find anything that seemed relevant.
