Pool cue case systems are disclosed which include at least one re-closable enclosure which is operable to be coupled, preferably releasably coupled, to the exterior of a pool cue case or the like, and which has an integral support coupling adapted to receive supports used for supporting the case in a nearly vertical position for use, for example, as a pool cue rack for assembled pool cues. Various re-closable enclosures are disclosed which enable convenient deployment of support legs while providing protection for the supports when stowed for transport.

What is claimed is: 1. A case support system for supporting a case in a stationary position, such case adapted to releasably encase at least one article, said case support system further comprising: at least one re-closable enclosure operable to be releasably coupled to the exterior of such case; at least one support for such case, wherein said at least one support is internally stowable within said at least one re-closable enclosure; and at least one support coupling coupled to said at least one re-closable enclosure, wherein said at least one internally stowable support is operable to be coupled to said at least one support coupling and operable to be at least partially deployed external to said at least one re-closable enclosure to support such case. 2. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said at least one support coupling is coupled to an interior surface of said at least one re-closable enclosure. 3. The case support system of claim 1, further comprising a foot coupled to such case, wherein said foot is positioned to frictionally engage a generally horizontal surface. 4. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said at least one re-closable enclosure comprises at least one releasable coupling adapted for releasably coupling said at least one re-closable enclosure to such case. 5. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said at least one internally stowable support, when at least partially deployed, is positioned and oriented as to not increase the footprint of such case on a generally horizontal surface. 6. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said at least one internally disposed support comprises at least one extendable leg. 7. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said re-closable enclosure comprises a pouch having a closure comprising a zipper. 8. The case support system of claim 1, wherein said at least one support coupling is operable to maintain said at least one support in at least one fixed position. 9. A case support system for supporting a case in a stationary position, said case support system comprising a re-closable enclosure at least one support coupling coupled to at least one portion of said re-closable enclosure; at least one support having a proximal end operable to be coupled to said at least one support coupling and a distal end at least partially deployable outside said re-closable enclosure; and at least one adaptation for enabling coupling of said re-closable enclosure to such case. 10. The case support system of claim 9, wherein said at least one support coupling comprises at least one support coupling coupled to an interior portion of said re-closable enclosure. 11. The case support system of claim 9, wherein said at least one support comprises at least one extendable leg. 12. The case support system of claim 9, wherein said at least one adaptation for enabling coupling of said re-closable enclosure with such case comprises at least one adaptation for coupling of said re-closable enclosure to at least one surface of one such case. 13. A case support system for supporting, in a stationary position, a pool cue case adapted to encase disconnected sections of at least one pool cue, said case support system further comprising: at least one pool cue case reconfigurer operable to enable such pool cue case to support, in an inclined position, assembled such disconnected sections of the at least one pool cue; and at least one re-closable enclosure, operable to be releasably coupled to an exterior surface of such pool cue case and operable to enclose at least part of said pool cue case reconfigurer when said pool cue case reconfigurer is in a stowed position. 14. The case support system of claim 13, wherein said at least one pool cue case reconfigurer comprises: at least one support coupling coupled to said re-closable enclosure; and at least one support having a proximal end operable to be coupled to said at least one support coupling and having a distal end at least partially deployable outside said at least one re-closable enclosure when said at least one re-closable enclosure is open. 15. The case support system of claim 14, wherein said at least one support coupling is coupled to an interior portion of said re-closable enclosure. 16. The case support system of claim 14, wherein said at least one support coupling is operable to maintain said at least one support in at least one fixed position. 17. The case support system of claim 14, wherein said at least one support coupling comprises: at least one resilient material; and at least one bore in a portion of said resilient material, wherein said at least one bore is sized and oriented to couplingly receive said at least one support. 18. The case support system of claim 14, wherein said at least one support, when at least partially deployed, is positioned and oriented as to not increase the footprint of such case on a generally horizontal surface. 19. The case support system of claim 14, wherein said at least one support comprises at least one extendable leg. 20. The case support system of claim 13, wherein said re-closable enclosure comprises a pouch having a closure comprising a zipper.
