I was thinking about it... what would be better than a tool case? A pilot's flight case -slash- lawyers file case! BING! OK, the ones from sporty's and pilot's warehouse are $150+, I wonder if China has made one for us. That cheapie above was the third hit on ebay for "pilot flight case" today. $33 shipped, he seems to have quite a few as there are auctions all week.

When I get it I'll give impressions, of course. I'll probably load it up with paper and see how sturdy it is. I've seen lawyers with nice ones that were literally STUFFED with files. While I *might* have been able to carry it myself, they use two people to get it off the table and then roll them away. Frail hands, you know

Auction Links thread to where I got it.

Nice looking case. I know I have seen one of those sold as a poker chip case somewhere before, but I can't find it now. I will dig around and see if I can find the site.

heh, I'm already thinking about how I'm going to modify it.

If it's big enough I'm going to put some backpack straps on it. If not, a shoulder strap.

The poker genie could possibly be velcro'd in the lid for easy viewing. This would get everyone looking at the chipset so I wouldn't have to lock it, everyone polices everyone about stealing chips to sneak in. Cash is in TD's pocket.

Some ball-bearing casters would be cool but I wouldn't pay retail for 'em.

Better get some racks with the raised handles. I think it would be a PITA trying to get flat racks out of there...

Interesting. I just bought a tool box (the one at HomeDepot). I wish it was a bit more sturdy.
600 chips seems OK, but getting up to 800-1,000 I’m not sure I want to carry it too far by the handle.

That on looks pretty sturdy.

I've got a home depot task force case with ~1000 chips that I've lugged around for the better part of a year now. It's heavy, but the handle's been fine. I never attempted the cheap shoulder strap that comes with it - that wouldn't have stood a chance.

Ditto.

I've had upto 1200 chips in it before without any issues other than the fact that they are heavy. The Lowes version of the case is definitely better than the Home Depot version though.

I have had 1500 chips in my task force... I got a pic on here somewhere.

Smoore are you getting chip boxes or are you sticking with racks?

If you go the racks route you better see if you can get 2 side by side or your tower-O-chips may crumble inside that case of yours!!

I wouldn't count on it, it's a $20 flight case, after all. I own a pop-riveter and I'm not afraid to use it!

And as far as everyone who says "That's HEAVY!":

Boxes. I found some at pokersupply.com that claim to be flexible. Again, we'll see.
