Re: Chip Cases
A LOT of quality difference.
The mahogany cases (I have two of them) are excellent and beautiful. The problem with them is that they are too nice for me to feel inclined to carry around a lot. So I have to have a travel case as well. The aluminum cases' handles frequently fail, that's the main complaint I hear about them. It hasn't happened to me yet. The green crap inside the aluminum ones is kinda cheap too.

Re: Chip Cases
the dividers in the metal ones are trash. get some wood glue to keep them in place.
AVOID the oak ones with chipracks. They are garbage. My best case is a custom case that came with an order of 1000 chips from some random guy on RGP. built like a wooden tank.

Re: Chip Cases
So I had a couple of the faux leather cases, one that was just the plain texture and one that was vaguely alligatorish. They both held up great and I ended up selling them with an old set of chips. Maybe try those.

Re: Chip Cases
I ordered one of the 500-count mahogany cases w/ my suits chips from texasholdemchips.com. Can't be any worse than that garbage aluminum one that came w/ my ebay chips.

[/ QUOTE ] I also haven't been happy with most of the cases I've seen. The Mahogany one seems to be one of the nicest cases, but I hear it's rather heavy and not too portable. I agree that the aluminum ones don't seem to be built very well. I had a 650 aluminum case that came with a set I got off ebay. The metal handle made it uncomfortable plus I always felt that it was going to break off, it just didn't seem too steady. Other than the Mahogany, anyone have a 500+ case they recomend? Warewulf

Re: Chip Cases
Here's the one I was looking at... someone mentioned is awhile back:
Aluminum case - 700 I pretty sure they make a 500 case... here it is but 550: 550 Case They also make a 400. We'll see if the case that comes with my chips is crap then I may look at this one for travel... going with the mahagony one so SWMBO will let me leave them out. - Fins
