Redesigned Product |
I bought one of these cases to use with a T4800 that I use at work. This case seems to have been redesigned recently and incorporates a couple of fixes for problems noted in some of the reviews. The pocket seems to have been made deeper and the case no longer has an antenna loop. One reviewer has noted that the pocket is slippery and allows the radio to fall out. I've not had this problem in the 2 weeks I've had this case. The pocket is sufficiently deep and and of a more "grippy" texture than one reviewer noted and holds the radio very securely.
I wear the case on my belt as I find that wearing it on my arm is slightly uncomfortable and the unit has a tendency to slide down. When I wear it on my belt, I'm able to withdraw and replace the radio much like a gun in a holster.
I highly recommend this product if you're using a compatible Motorola radio or are in the process of acquiring one. The plastic belt clip that come with the radio is very fragile and will almost certainly break with use. |

Poor design |
| I bought this item because one customer stated that the radio does not fall out and that it sits quite secure in the carrying case. Well...this carrying case contains a little neoprene pocket where the radio sits, with a mesh front in the area where one transmits, and an elastic band on top that "secures" the antenna. The problem is that the little neoprene pocket, as it's interior is made of a slippery material, squeezes the radio up and out of the pocket as one walks (notice I didn't say run). That elastic band holding the antenna now becomes terribly inefficient and your radio falls prey to gravity. Had the designers used a more pro-friction material on the interior of the pocket(rubber maybe?)the radio might not work it's way out (I place a rubber band around the radio and then put it in the carrier; it works). Also, the radio has a place on the back to attach a lanyard -- a velcro loop/strap, like on a gun holster, would have been very secure. Overall, I'm happy with this product but I should not have had to look for a way to make it functional. |

Functional, but not designed for the T6400 |
| Well built. Secure and functional for use with the T6400. (Note: Several online retailers advertise this accessory for the T6400, though it is clearly built for use with a smaller radio.) |
