Review on Universal Pouch Bag Holster Case for GPS & Two Way Radios: Motorola, Kenwood, Midland, Icom, Yaesu, PMR446, Transceiver, Walkie Talkie, Tenq 3in1 Multi-Function 20b by Christian Barnes

The strap is annoying.

I bought this case to use with BaoFeng UV82 radio. The radio fits perfectly in the case, but the display is not visible in the case. I have an external speaker/mic connected to the radio and this case doesn't bother it. What confuses me is the neck/waist strap. It has three ends, each with a clip, and the body has clips at the top and D-rings at the bottom. Usually the clips were attached to D-rings, but in this case (no pun intended) the radio was hanging upside down if you only attached to D-rings. It's confusing just trying to figure out what the designer's intention was. What I love about this case is that it can be used in a multitude of ways: clipped to a belt, attached to almost anything, or hung from a strap (with the limitations above). Considering the price it seems quite well made and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget radio case. What I don't like is the tangled ribbon. in a holster, but that probably doesn't matter since in my case it's mostly used on the belt. This isn't really the case's fault, but more of a design statement from the radio. Overall I am very satisfied with this case/radio case.
