1000 chip case recommendations (2 Viewers)

No, have to get them from Australia or the Chinese supplier.

FYI, the price on the Jack’s website is in Australian dollars so it’s a little cheaper once converted to USD.

There is case pretty much exactly the same available on Amazon

Anything with a handle for transport would give me pause at that quantity. That being said my Versa 600 case is very solid so Id bet on that or an Apache/Pelican case. The BR Pro cases look very sturdy as well.

Other than being longer, thinner, yet somehow bulkier, more awkward to travel with, and holding 1/2 as many chips, they are practically twins! Seriously, apples to oranges, they have a similar 1k chip case like that that I looked at and I would not buy one.

Also just working out some final kinks in the V3 display racks

lmao...my apologies, I was half asleep and simply seen the JACKS case.

Has anyone had any experience with these 1000-chip cases? How good/reliable are they? I don't think I'd run with them, as long as the chips aren't in their boxes. My experience has shown that the 500-chip case is quite functional and not too heavy. But these? Are they even worth the money?

Or are they too fragile? I understand that not everyone likes them, but I'd love to hear from those who have or have had them.

I have one, tried it once by loading it up with 1000 leaded chips and while it worked, I didn't trust the handle enough to hold the weight for long.

They're fine as long as you don't trust the handle or the hinges or the latches.
To me, these cheap aluminum briefcases are perfect for home storage. But if you're traveling with them (or even just moving them from a shelf to the table) always use two hands.

Thanks for your answers.
I even hold the 300/500 sets with my finger so they don't accidentally open.
Probably 2 x 500 chips is better than 1000 chips.

Posted this In Wrong thread before….


Holds. 1100 chips

Versa Case. $69.99 plus shipping so around $99

Pros:
holds a lot of chips
Thin profile, easy to store
Pretty rugged
Nice to see all the chips at once.

Cons:
Latches seem flimsy and easy to pop open
Somewhat heavy with 1100 chips
Can’t open and put on small side table like the pelican style smaller 6-800 chips cases.
Doesn’t have shoulder strap.
Needs minor modification to get all the racks in there ( remove factory foam/ inserts etc.)

If I keep it I’ll probably have a canvas carry bag made for the case to go on. That will elevate the worry of latches popping open. And I could add shoulder straps to that.

All said and done. 6.9/10 Recommend with reservations.

The latches have held up fine on a couple of these that I've used, but the handles have failed under the stress of carrying the weight of fully packed cases, so the canvas carry bag is a good idea on two levels.

Chip-case-weight-wise, always remember that the best case scenario for everybody's lives is to get really old.
