Anyone know a good place to buy a 400 count chip case (besides Ebay) which nails you on the shipping? I would figure around $20?
I always hate that people sell products there at low prices just to fleece you on the shipping. Although, I did buy my NJ composites on eBay.

Not sure what they charge for shipping

For this product the shipping is almost as much as the case. I also don't like the layout, I'd prefer 50 chips per row (or increment for placement), 75 will make my case look messy when opened (you guys...um perfectionists know what I mean!)
I'd like to avoid this case, since I don't like the layout!

Something like this but cheaper would be great. His shipping is expensive.

Thanks TN, but as stated I'd prefer 50 chips per row (or increment for placement), 75 will make my case look messy when opened (you guys...um perfectionists know what I mean!)
Does anyone use or know about the Pit Boss case? I'm not worried about cards, since I use Kems (which I love) and keep those in the box seperately. I just want a great case, great price with rows of 50- for 400 chips.

I know you already bought the other one, but one more vote for the elite. I have 3 of them (550 model) and they're great! Looks like the one you got has a hard plastic handle (can't really tell from the pic), if so, can be uncomfortable to carry. The elites have a soft handle.
The reason for the 75 chips per row is to make the case weighted more evenly. Not sure I understand the need for 50 / row, would love to hear that one. I guess if you're stacking, you would know that you should have two stacks of 25?

Yeah, with respect to the number of chips I have, the case will look neat and organized. I've got a breakdown that is in increments of 50's/75 throws the row count off.

Are you kiddin' me?  That seems like a silly reason to NOT buy a better case. They're either all there in your case, or not. But to each his own... good luck. 8)

| Quote: | his 2004 model is the most durable aluminum deluxe case in the market. It has a rounded edge and sleeker design. Beware of other cases which may fall apart when you purchase them (the interior walls aren't glued in correctly and there are bubbles). It is protected by an egg-shaped foam which both protect the case and the chips. The case is made of aircraft grade aluminum materials. It has 6 black velvet covered slots and holds 50 chips for each slot. It can hold up to 400 casino size chips - 4 decks playing cards - and 5 casino size Crap game dices. Ship weight: 7 lb.

6 slots X 50 chips each slot, can hold 400 chips??????????????

It's a typo, they were out of stock.....I ordered a case from eBay. Not too many choices out there.

Did you check your local stores first? We have a local store that sells that case for $17.99, and their prices aren't generally very cheap.

Unfortunately, I don't have those kinds of shops near me. It would be great if I did.
