anyone have new Versa ABS cases from Discount Poker ?
If you’re talking about the black plastic ones, I’d be interested in hearing more reviews. I’m not sure where I read it but I definitely read that the black plastic cases were much closer to junk than to the deluxe cases.anyone have new Versa ABS cases from Discount Poker ?
I received my versa case today! Its the 1K size. It was a little bigger than I thought it was going to be. But if it is beefier and stronger, it should be a little bigger, that makes sense. It was even kind of heavy before I put the chips in, which is another good sign. It definitely looks cool. I like the darker greys and blacks on it. However, the best part is is that my Copaq case (2 decks) fits perfect in it. I removed 1 divider and its fits perfectly snug in the spot. Once full of chips, its also more comfortable to carry/hold than the 1K acrylic carrier. The handle is wider than what you get on the acrylic carrier, and since it is more narrow, it makes it carry less bulky than the wide acrylic carrier. Also, it looks like it can actually hold about 1050 chips, so you can either add a few chips are have some spacers in place.
Overall, a big thumbs up right now!
I bought some CC Pharaohs from a couple people on this site, so you can see I have some oiling to do now. And I got a couple of Pharaoh dealer buttons from Apache. Overall the set should be able to support a 2 table .25/.50 game or a 2 table 1/2 game. Right now, I only have 1 table, so I am prepared for some growth. I just moved into a new house and neighborhood, so the next quest is to find some new poker buddies!

The prices pretty much back it up, too -- $49.95 for the deluxe, $19.95 for the new ABS case.I definitely read that the black plastic cases were much closer to junk than to the deluxe cases.
Thanks for taking the time to write and share your review. However, that’s not the ABS version.
Discount Poker Shop lists it as sold out at this moment. You can call or email them to find out if this is (hopefully) temporary.

It's the only serious quality case other than the more expensive (and overkill, if they travel in you own vehicle) Pelican ones and Peli clones (eg Nanuk in Canada or B&W in Europe).
Pity Versa never produced a nominal 600ct case that could carry up to 750 chips (judging from the fact that the Deluxe, nominal 500ct, carries up to 640, including in 4 tubes in the middle area, instead of card decks etc).
In the 600-900 chip range, a cheaper alternative to waterproof and shockproof Peli clones are aluminium photographic cases with foam (also requiring that you use racks inside), usually with somewhat decent latches and hinges. These (unlike Peli-type ones) should never travel unattended, though, and handled by anybody else than you.
There are also much cheaper faux-Pelis, just water-resistant (not -proof) offered at ridiculously low prices, in the US only.
With bare hands (fingers, actually).Can the card dividers be removed to store more chips instead?

You can use that space for 4 soft plastic tubes, carrying 26 CPCs or 27 Paulsons each.
I can't figure out what this piece may be, but probably the phrase "they don't build them like they used to" applies beyond flat 6-cylinder engines
