Here are some others I just grabbed quickly. Yeah, there are others that are boring too, I just like interesting backs.

Received my sets today and I do like them a lot better than my Copags. Less flexible, less slippery. That's enough for me.

Ding, ding, ding.
I have never seen other cards that were grey like the 2.0 version. MUCH better with the 3.0.
Agreed but they do come with more "personalty" if you want them to if you buy them from WPT.
The Modianos are also simple but I like to offset my busy looking chip sets with simple looking cards & vice-versa...
I got the red & black bridge sized. They shuffle well, and aren’t too slippery. I really like them.

Got mine. Just shuffling them I feel they are a good balance between the 1.0 and 2.0, I like they way they feel. They still have a little slickness to them but it's definitely reduced compared to the 2.0's. They also have a glossier finish on them similar to the 1.0 but here it's more textured. Getting a picture of this is a nightmare with my lighting conditions and my phone camera, so take my word, or don't. The 1.0 backs basically have no texture, just the faces. The 3.0 have a decreased thickness of two 2.0 cards from what I can tell. Time will tell after I get these in a game and if the bitching and crying commences they will sit on the shelf, sadly.
Here is a pic of the thickness from 1.0 - 2.0 - 3.0
Thickness difference between the 2.0 (left) and 3.0 (right), 2 card difference.
Compared to Fournier (right).

Yay or nay?
Nay. I’m looking for something close to KEM. The lack of manufacturers producing bridge jumbo makes me open up my search. But these aren’t for me.

Then I'd go the Fournier bridge/jumbo linked earlier today in this thread. The same ones pictured above. Those cards are great.

Nothing quite compares to KEMs. Maybe Angels, but that’s about it. I would say the Fourniers feel more like FS 3.0 than they do KEMs fwiw.

Earlier in the thread there's a pic, from today I think. They may be poker size though, if that matters.
They have them both in bridge and poker size.

They do have bridge size 3.0 four color decks. I have one and ordered another that should be delivered tomorrow.
Mine shipped Sep 6th and haven’t moved since

Mine did the same and suddenly showed up at my post office so yours are most likely moving!Mine shipped Sep 6th and haven’t moved since
Mine arrived yesterday. I’m not open. Waiting for more reviews on slipperiness.
And just like that, they arrived at my post office this morning!
If anyone decides these are not for them let me know. I am looking at getting at least a couple of decks.
Got mine today. 4 color poker size. Haven't had any previous versions, I liked these enough to order 2 more bridge setups. They shuffle great and deal great. Stiffest cards I have handled which actually makes shuffling nice, perfect balance of grip and slip for pitching cards. Bright vibrant colors, I love the index. I will rotate these with my Desjgn decks and see which we like better.
Sorry, didn't see this. PM me and I have one each bridge and poker size setup for you.

Dibs!
I got half my order the other day. Just the purple and green decks. They are decent cards. I like them and will use them, but GEMACO Superflex cards are still my favorite.
I think I figured out why I don't Iike these.
They literally feel like a paper deck. There's some texture on the cars faces like a plastic card, but the backs are totally flat and pretty much have no texture at all. Very glossy feel to them. I will say that they pitch really well and aren't slippery at all, which will make a lot of folks happy. But yes, they feel like the $3 decks that can be bought on Amazon made in China.
YMMV, but even with a little bit of slickness, give me the V2 of these all day.
Right now, it's V2>V3>V1 for me. With V3's closer to V1's on the spectrum than the V2's.

Thanks for the review. I don't quite have the same opinion about feeling like cheap decks but they are less slick. I personally like balance of texture on these between the 1.0 and 2.0.. It's too bad you don't like them, but thankfully there's other brands out there to choose from
Of course. I don't mean to trash the cards just because I don't Iike the feel personally. Those that didn't like the slipperyness and texture issues the V2's had will like these. Personally, I just happen to not like glossy card faces or backs. I like my cards to have any other finish. Linen, textured, or even matte otherwise like the King Australia cards have. I'd have a totally different opinion on these if the backs just had a smidge of a linen or grainy texture. It does seem that these are a bit less stiff as well.Thanks for the review.

I'm worried by this review...I hope I can cope with the updates. Otherwise I'll be looking for more 2.0 setups.
