Product Description

Keep your two-way radio close at hand with this belt carrying case and arm pack from Motorola. The pack comes in stylish black with a mesh pocket and elastic strap to secure your radio. Wear it on your belt or your arm and keep your hands free as you snowboard, mountain bike, or engage in any other outdoor activity. This case is compatible with TalkAbout 280 SLK, T289, and T63xx series radios, and comes with a one-year warranty.


Customer Reviews

Very useful.

I strongly recommend this carrying case to anyone with a TalkAbout.

The case grips the Talkabout securely, is easy to access, and allows the radio to be reinserted without too much trouble.

The only flaw I have found is that the elastic band with the Motorola emblem runs right across the tone button. It doesn't exert enough pressure to engage it by itself, but if you bump something it does have enough pressure to hold the button down. It will set off the tone until you remove the radio from the carrying case.

I used this case every day for 7 weeks this summer and was very pleased with it. I would buy it again without hesitation.


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.
