Description
Protect the Paddle. Prove It's Real.
Selkirk LABS paddles are produced in limited runs, and a meaningful number of them never see a full season of play — they get collected. The Selkirk LABS Red Paddle Collectors Case is built for exactly that: a presentation-grade case in LABS red that both protects the paddle and, with its included certificate of authenticity, documents it.
For players rather than collectors, it does the everyday job just as well. A paddle left loose in a bag picks up edge dings and, worse, grit that transfers onto the face and dulls the grit texture you paid for. A dedicated case is the difference between a face that still grips in year two and one that has gone slick by autumn.
Key Performance Features
Certificate of Authenticity Included: Each case ships with documentation, which matters if you are holding a limited LABS release as a collectible rather than a gamer.
Distinctive LABS Red Finish: Instantly identifiable as part of the Selkirk LABS programme rather than a generic sleeve.
Protects the Hitting Surface: Keeps court grit and bag debris off a raw carbon face, preserving the surface texture that generates spin.
Guards Edges and Corners: Shields the paddle edge guard from the knocks that happen in transit, not on court.
Display or Transport: Presentable enough to display, robust enough to live in the bottom of a court bag.

Q: Does the Selkirk LABS case fit both Widebody and Elongated paddles?
A: Yes. The case accommodates standard Widebody and Elongated pickleball paddle profiles, including the LABS Project Boomstik in either shape.
Q: Why does a paddle need a case at all?
A: Two reasons, and neither is about drops. Loose court grit in a bag acts as an abrasive against a raw carbon face and dulls the grit texture that generates spin. And an unprotected edge guard picks up knocks in transit that eventually let moisture into the core.
Q: What is the certificate of authenticity for?
A: Selkirk LABS paddles are limited-production releases, and some are held or resold as collectibles. The certificate documents the case as genuine LABS product, which matters to collectors buying and selling in that secondary market.
Q: Will a case stop my paddle face from going smooth?
A: It slows it considerably. The two things that flatten a raw carbon grit surface are abrasion and contamination. A case eliminates the bag-grit abrasion entirely; you still need to wipe the face down with a damp court towel after play to deal with the contamination side.
Q: Can I store a paddle in the case long term?
A: Yes, provided you store the case somewhere temperature-stable. Avoid garages, attics and car trunks — sustained heat is what delaminates a paddle core, and a case will not protect against that.
