TENQMulti-Function Radio Case Holder for Kenwood Yaesu Icom Motorola HYT Baofeng Two Way Radio

Works resonably well with the Tytera MD-380 DMR HT, but there are some compromises with this radio. The main one is that the radio case covers the entire display. Since the MD-380 relies upon the display for a lot of things, this may be inconvenient since you'll need to take the radio out of the case to see the display. But if you stay locked on one channel or you know your channels by feel, then it would be fine. For me, this is not an issue as I do tend to stay on one channel.For fit, the case does hold the MD-380 but it is very tight if the belt clip is attached to the radio. It would be a much better fit with the clip removed, but removal and reinstalling the clip is somewhat difficult on the MD-380 so end users will have to figure out if that effort is worth doing.Bottom line, for the price this is certainly a case you would want to have around for any time you need a case on your radio.

I looked around for a case specifically made for the 82L. Could not find one (the 82 is longer than the UV 5 series with the regular batteries; the 82 is more like the 5 with the extended batteries). I took a chance on this case since it had the elastic "over the top" clip. It is a bit tighter than I would have made it if I were to make one for the Boafeng 82, but it works. It allows you to carry the radio in several configurations (over the shoulder, across the chest, "Sam Brown" style). Maybe there are too many choices since there are clips for the alternate arrangements stay on the case for the arrangements even though they are not being using. You will not be able to access the keypad while the unit is in the case. The normal radio speaker and "A" position PTT is not affected by the case, while the normal microphone is at the edge of the case (top, left of the front radio's face). No one I was talking to noticed a problem. The remote speaker/mike works fine while in the case. SO if you don't like the belt clip, this case will work for you with minimal sacrifices until a customized case comes out for the 82.

Update 9/8/2014:After 10 shifts with a heavy XTS1500, one of the seams on the case is beginning to open up - eventually it will fail. I may attempt to reinforce it, but a full size radio is just too heavy for the construction of this holder.I'm leaving the rating at 5-stars, since it's still a great buy when used for what it's intended, but YMMV if you try to use with a large radio.---The case fits a small radio (Yaesu VX5) perfectly. It can also hold larger radios, but that may require you to extend the elastic with a bit of paracord. See my "customer image" showing a Motorola XTS1500.The nylon case itself seems to be good quality for the price and chinese origin. Fabric and stitching are good, the snap+velcro belt loop closure is a nice touch. The belt loop is near the bottom of the case, which means a tall radio will ride higher than it would using its own belt clip - possibly an advantage for sitting in a car, but may be problematic for a top heavy radio which will want to lean over more.The embroidered text is a bit silly looking. With a fat enough radio this text will actually end up on the bottom of the case. If you don't like it, you could easily hide it with black marker, or even remove it with an xacto knife.----I think most people will wear this on their belt, but since the chest harness has generated some negative reviews, I will say that it *does* work with small radios once you play with it. The harness basically has 2 short straps, and 1 longer strap, all adjustable. There are several configs for how you might arrange the straps.Here is my recommendation for a "chest harness" style (see my photo under "Customer Images" on the right) - long strap under right arm - clipped to bottom-right D-ring - one short strap under left arm - clipped to top-left D-ring (alternatively, clip to bottom left D-ring for a more upright position) - other short strap over left shoulder - clipped to top-right D-ring - radio positioned high, over left chest, diagonally (antenna pointed towards left shoulder).By putting the radio in this position, you can grab it with your right hand to work it, the antenna is high but not sticking in your face, and the radio is off your belly. Using the long strap around your side means the chest measurement could be adjusted up to about 62". People who have complained about the straps being too short may have been trying to use both short straps around the chest (?).You could also wear the radio more like a "purse" or "radio strap" by using 1 long and 1 short strap, extended so the radio hangs by your side. The other short strap could be tied off or clipped to your back belt buckle so the radio can't droop if you bend over ("sway strap").

The straps are definitely quite small and I am only 5'7" medium/athletic build. Bought this for my Baofeng UV5r and had to modify the pouch. When the radio is in the pouch, it makes it very tight to have a headset cable installed because of the band that covers that port. There is also a band on the opposite side that covers the PTT button. Both bands are not elastic so if you have a larger radio it will most likely be tight or not fit at all. I cut around both the PTT button and headset port on the pouch.

Bought for my ham radio. The only improvements I can think of would be to place the front clip 1/2" higher and place a vinyl window at the lower part of the case. Giving access to programming buttons and/or channel buttons. Although for the money it's a great product product and for you hikers it affixes to my A.L.I.C.E. pack. So it's probably adaptable to most backpacks.

This case provides a great solution for keeping the radio handy and safe when working out on my farm. I use it in a three point configuration around my arm and torso, so the radio rests on my right pectoral. I am using a BF-888S most days, but my UV5R fits too. I plan to buy more for my workers.

This is a good value for a nylon case. Seems very durable, does a good job of protecting the radio. If your aren't going to use the shoulder strap the two hooks are a bit of a nuisance but I think they could easily be cut off close to the case without disturbing the appearance. The model number stitched on the case is a bit tacky though. Fits the Baofeng UV-5R perfectly even with the belt clip left on the radio. Utilizes both a snap button and velcro to keep it secured to your belt. If it weren't for the tacky numbers on the front I'd give it 5 stars. Be sure to read the instruction sheet. The chinese to english translation is pretty funny.
