I used an Eylar which I found on Amazon, comparable to the Apache 4800 but about 3” less length. It cost a little more but it was worth it to me not to take any driving time to Harbor Freight.

My only concern was the latch wasn’t double-secure, but I can do that on my own with a small lock, which I’m going to do anyways since cash will be in there. It can fit more chips but I wanted to keep space for a small bank, Copag card case, and this wooden box holding some buttons I really like that my players enjoy, too. Everything I need to play comfortably is in there.

Honestly I’m really happy with it, I spent some time on mycasebuilder, and glued extra foam to the bottom of the top racks to keep the underlying chips more snug. Don’t mind the different chips, I was just using whatever was nearby to press and mark down the bottom foam, where I cut with an exacto knife just to let the edges of the Justin racks sink in a little and not waste space.

I sprayed like 6 coats of plasti-dip and put some skewers in the thin foam lining between the racks for stability and it’s working! My only regret is not just placing the racks side-by-side without the foam in between, but that’s minor.

The next case I invest in will be similar but with just small circles for the buttons instead of the wooden case that holds them, with two layers that are laser-cut to fit individual stacks, to fit 800-1000 total. What do you guys think? I put a lot of thought into the layout and it really suits the home game I play right now, starting at .25/.25 for $15-$25 buying.

Oh, I bought some poker guards for my closest friends / players, I’m the most experienced player and I want to be a gracious winner. Ima put them in the box and hand them out as a thank you for making it to my first home game.

Thank you everyone who posted their cases and layouts and all their tips, it guided me a TON!

Looks good. If it’s working for you that’s all that matters. I’ve been very happy with my Apache cases, but if this floats your boat, that’s all that matters!
 
Looks good! I like the extra section for the bank, somehow I have never considered that with this type of case.
Thanks! It's nice to have everything I need held in my hand. And it helps me feel secure whenever I'm handling money. To grab this thing, open it, open the bank, etc, is very noticeable and with a lock for added protection, I know no one is getting through, much less being sneaky. Not that that's a thing I worry about, but I like to be as secure as can be and have no worries when I'm playing
