My quick review of the all-in chip...NOT GOOD. I got a sample of the all-in chips. They feel great, thats were it ends. I snapped them in half without any force. They crumbled in my hands, literally. You can scratch them with fingernail, and if you drop it from table height, they dent...

This has lightened my sense of anger at requesting my All-In sample on the 4th and still not having received them. I figure if they can't get the sample to me within a reasonable amount of time, what would happen should I actually order? I'd probably see a list of reasons why they hadn't been delivered yet.
Thanks for the headsup.

I don't need to review them...Stringbet nailed it perfectly on the head. 
I'll have the review up this evening with a couple photos. (One showing the damage so easily caused by fingernails.) I was also able to snap them in half with little effort.
Bummer.

I've actually heard of people who have liked these chips. they say even though they are brittle to begin with, after handling them for a little bit, 30 minutes or so, they tried breaking another, and found it was very hard to, and needed pliers to snap them. I think somewhere on their site, it mentions that the oil from your hands helps it or something. just a thought... oh, and I'm not someone from their site. I personally wouldn't get 'em as they seem like playing with business cards. I won't advertise unless it's for myself.

Truer words were never spoken.
If the chips jsut had that "A"in teh middle, I'd consider getting a set - but w/ the text around the edges, fuhgit about it.

The review is up. It's under Injection Molded.
Guest...I fiddled with one of their chips for a straight ten minutes as I was sitting here reading emails. A) It helped the appearance of the chip a great deal. Made the colors a lot more intense. Cool. B) Afterwards, I broke it in half no problem with just my hands. Not cool.

WOW. I FINALLY got my All-In chip samples. Of course, the first thing I did was use one hand and broke one in half with my thumb and VERY LITTLE pressure.
In my opinion, you will want to avoid these chips. Yuk.

Somehow, I get the feeling that crap would harden more so than these chips and make a better playing chip, w/gloves of course.
