Apache Poker Cases (1 Viewer)

[sergiophil]

Has anyone tried the Apache case from harbor freight? Looking to get a more durable case for my 1,000 chip sets. I know pelican is good. Sams club off brand of pelican is good, but they are out of stock.

What do you guys think is more durable then the aluminum cases for 1,000 chip sets.

 

[ruskba]

Yes, they are great. The 3800 version holds 800 comfortably, not sure about 1000.

Apache 4800 holds 1,000.

Apache's are great value cases would recommend!

 

[mummel]

Does anyone recall the price points of each of these cases? I'll probably need one for ~500 chips at some point. Thanks.

 

[ruskba]

$30ish for the 3800. Keep an eye out for coupons.

Do you recall the size for the MM cases from Sams for 500 chips?

Also, which cases do you guys prefer? MM or Apache?

I brought a SRA camera case - absolutely love it. Holds 8 racks and isn’t bulky. https://www.amazon.com/Metal-Grey-A...&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=SRA+Cases+EN-AC-RB-340

Did you also buy a foam block? Pics please.

I think that’s the same one I have and you don’t need foam, mine doesn’t travel though, maybe you’d want something on the top to protect the chips in the top racks.

Doesn't appear to be pick and pluck foam.

If you are transporting 8 racks, there is no need to buy any foam...the racks fit snug. I just put a Padded Flat Rate Envelope in the lid, and it holds 43mm racks snug. With 39mm...add another envelope. Works great! Enough room with 43mm for 2 setup of cards...enough for more with the 39mm racks.

“This item is no longer stocked but can be purchased in quantities of 100 or more.”

Group buy!

 

[RocAFella1]

I prefer this SRA, only room for the 8 racks, nothing else.

Just ordered the RB 340 last night and apparently the last piece of egg crate foam with it.
$24.19 for the case.

@jja412

Which model do you have (with a little spare room for cards, etc...?

 

[sergiophil]

I’m gonna go to harbor freight and buy couple of the Apache cases. I appreciate all the advice!

 

[jja412]

Heavy Duty Black Aluminum Hard Case 13 x 11 x 5.1 (330 x 280 x 130mm), EN-AC-HD-230 inside 12 x 10 x 4-5/32

The model is HD-230. I think mine were bought off amazon:

Do you know if your case would fit 43 mm racks?

 

[RocAFella1]

Negative, nor will it fit Matsui racks.

Just picked up a 2800. Here are some coupons if anyone’s looking.

Just picked up the Apache 4800, and it's perfect for 1k chips with extras. I ended up putting racks upside down on top of the bottom layer of chips to help protect them and also boost the height a little bit. They stick up just the perfect amount to create a nice firm hold with the top foam, there is no movement when the case is closed. These cases are such a great value and a no-brainer for chip storage even if you don't plan on traveling with them much.

I was just about to post something similar!

Lots of local Denver games, especially with those cases in the back!

39mm chips need the upside down racks to keep them in place. However, 43mm do not.

 

[juankay20]

What're some thoughts on cases in general? Is it best to get a camera case and customize the foam inserts, or are there some good metal/aluminum cases?

Apache 3800 now available in new colors!
