i have 1000 tourney chips that i use weekly. i want something that is easy to transport them in from the storage room to the table. i will never have a need to transport these outside the house.

so...for those of you that have found the ultimate solution, what is it?

2 x 500pc cases
1 x 1000pc case
1 birdcage
other

i think im actually leaning towards the 2 x 500 solution using the lizard cases that are on amazon -- right now, for no other reason than they dont have card slots.

I'm a big birdcage fan. I have a 1000-carrier (actually has 1200 chips in it, so the cage doesn't quite make it to the bottom, but still serves its purpose), and 2 x 600-chip carriers (not actually cages in the same sense... but similar look at least). They're great for several reasons: Counting chips before and after (if you have the correct sized racks, that is), great for showing off the chips while "stored", easy to transport...

Since they're never leaving your house, my vote is for a 1000 chip birdcage carrier. As jdunford mentioned not only are they relatively portable*, but also a great way to display your chips when they're not in use.


*I say "relatively portable" because I wouldn't want to lug one around to a game once a week, but that's just my opinion.

Birdcage hands down. Great way to display chips as has been said. Most importantly though is that the chips are store in racks so they're already measured out and ready for play.

Cardboard box with chip racks....I know I should invest in a birdcage but I don't have the room for it.

I use the 1000pc birdcage(acrylic carrier) for both my tourney sets. I have mine on a poker chip self standing shelf, with my others and it also allows them to be shown off.

I occassionally carry them down the block for a game at my neighbors and have never had a problem with carring them. They are a little heavy , but the carrier has held up very well.

I treat them very carefully though.

Birdcage with racks is the only way to go.

I use 2 500 chip cases. They are easy to manage, one in each hand. I had a 1000 case, but it was heavy and not as stable as I'd like. By the way, one of the cases has a clear acrylic top with 5 acrylic racks inside, so I do have some of the "show off" factor for my chips (well, half of them anyway). I have heard that the bottom mounts on the birdcage carrier are prone to coming loose/breaking. I have no personal experience with them, but I have read that. By looking at pictures of them, it makes sense to me that this could be probable. I looked into getting a birdcage type carrier with racks but for tourneys, it didn't offer any advantage when dividing up the chips. I don't have many cash games, so it's not like I'm handing out a rack to each player.

Birdcage baby! It's pretty, it's so pretty...

I voted "other". Two 600-chip acrylic birdcages. They're built the same as the 1000 chip version, but they only have to carry 60% of the weight, so I'm guessing that they'd be less likely to fail during transit.
