Consider a Stylish Poker Chip Case
Poker chip storage devices come in a large variety of sizes and shapes for many different applications. The largest practical poker chip cases hold 1000 poker chips. Although there are some cases that can hold more, in many cases a 1000 capacity poker chip case can be too heavy for easy transport and over time really heavy poker chips may tend to break the case down quickly. Therefore, these problems are only worse with cases whose capacity is greater then 1000 chips.
In the 1000 poker chip capacity category of chip cases, there are two basic options; the aluminum poker chip case and the acrylic carrier. As previously eluded, the 1000 capacity aluminum poker chip case needs to be well built. The weight of 1000 9 gram poker chips is over 19 pounds and if you choose a chip as heavy as 14 grams, the case will have over 30 pounds of poker chip weight. The acrylic carrier is the other option to store and transport 1000 poker chips. These cool looking devices are very professional looking. Acrylic carriers are meant to be used with 10 acrylic poker chip racks full of chips and placed in two stacks of 5 racks. The poker chip trays are stackable when full of poker chips. After making the two stacks of 5, each stack of five is place on one side of the base of the acrylic carrier. Then the top of the carrier simply rests in place over the handle and around the racks full of poker chips. It is a must see design.
Aluminum poker chip cases are the most popular and the most prevalent storage solutions in the market. They come in a variety of capacities and levels of quality. Some of the better cases have been upgraded to have a solid wooden insert that holds and cradles the poker chips, instead of thin molded plastic that is paper thin and has no backing. We have already discussed the 1000 capacity aluminum poker chip case and some of the other sizes available are: 650, 550, 500, 400, 300, and 200 capacity aluminum poker chip cases.
Many of the more luxurious poker chip cases are made of wood. While the type of wood may be unclear, the wood is often finished with a mahogany stain and some additional sealer coatings that give the wood a deep and rich color with a mirror like finish. These mahogany poker chip cases are available in a number of sizes: 750, 500, 300, and 240 chip capacities. The most popular is the 500 capacity mahogany poker chip case. This case also has a removable tray and a nice velvet interior. Some of the smaller versions have keyed in on the fact that these dark poker chip cases have the look of a cigar humidor and 2 of these cases have space made into the case to hold one cigar.
Other wooden cases go for a natural or oak looking finish. These cases such as the 500 capacity wooden poker chip case are very sturdy and include 5 removable wooden poker chip trays that each hold 100 poker chips. When the trays are properly placed in the chip case there is quite a bit of storage under them for items such as cards or buttons.
