I have read about the storage challenges of the 43mm chips.

I just finalized an order with Alibaba for a set of 43mm card mold chips and asked if they had any aluminum cases designed specifically for the 43mm chips. I expected them to say that nothing was available based on everything I have read here. But to my surprise, they indicated that they did have a larger case for 43mm chips.

Has anyone else ordered these for the 43mm chips? They only had one size available (500 chip case). I ordered two cases and will provide feedback to the group when they arrive. They were $15.00 each plus shipping. They also have 43mm racks with lids available.

I am hoping for the best with the case but my sales rep assured me they will fit well without having the edges touch. I am attaching the picture he sent me…

Very cool find! However, much has changed recently with storage of 43mm chips. Both the Apache clone racks and the racks offered by @justincarothers through his vendor page will fit in birdcages beautifully.

Previously your only option were the Matsui racks (which weren't able to be ordered), but that's no longer the case.

I look forward to your review. I've aways been a case guy. I keep racks on hand because they make cashing out easier, but then I stuff them all back in the case.

Here is a picture of the 43mm rack Alibaba offered me. It looks to be the same as what Apache is offering.

I like having the option of using a case too. I probably won’t receive the case for about 45 days or so as I paid for boat shipping rather than air.

Apache racks don’t have the octagonal shape:

The Alibaba ones look just like the ones @justincarothers is selling from Tina in China. Maybe the same company, or it’s a common design manufactured by multiple companies in China.
 
Ok, that you for clarifying that for me. So these will not fit in a birdcage?
They will:

So I just wanted to point something out that might help people make the decision to purchase these. In the original post, @justincarothers states that although a standard bird cage can fit 10 of the 40mm racks, it only fits 8 of the 43mm.

I applaud Justin for not trying to mislead anybody. However, I don't believe there is such a thing as a standard birdcage. I have cages from three different vendors: GSE, YuanHe, and BRPro. And I am elated to say that all of my cages fit a full 10 of the 43mm racks. In fact, on my 600 ct cages, they also fit a full 6 racks of the 43mm!

At first I thought perhaps it's just my bird cages... Maybe they're just taller somehow. But then I stacked up five of Justin's racks against five of the Matsuis, and they were identical! So, if you know that your cage can fit 10 Matsui racks, it should be able to also fit 10 of Justin's 43mm racks!!!

I will be getting some in soon that should work nicely. These pictured are 43 mm case with 39mm chips inside. I have asked if they can start making these without places for the cards in the middle

Not a very efficient use of space on those. The "all foam" design could be attractive in terms of ultimate padding for the chips. But it results in the chips being spaced quite far apart.
 
Here are the pictures of the 43mm aluminum case I have coming from Alibaba. I am sure it is just a cheap case but at least will hold 43mm chips properly. He indicated that all the chips pictured are 43mm.

These look more heavy duty then the one I ordered. When will these be available? I agree that using the card space for two more rows of chips would be great.
