It Fits My BF-8FHP Handheld Amateur Radio with 3800 mAh Extended Li-ion Battery Like A Glove
I purchased one Viperade Adjustable Nylon Handheld Radio Pouch to see if it would securely hold and protect one of my BaoFeng BF-8FHP radios when mounted and carried on my B.O.B.'s MOLLE webbing ladder system. The 3800 mAh Li-ion Extended Battery will be the radio's primary power source, but I might occasionally need to use it with the shorter 2000 mAh Li-ion OEM Battery while the larger battery recharges from my solar charging system's power bank. With the larger 3800 mAh battery installed, the Viperade pouch fit my BF-8FHP like a glove. It was easy to adjust it to the correct width and depth with the Velcro panels on this pouch, and its height was perfect, allowing me to snug it up to my radio with its elastic cord fitting neatly inside both the On/Off Switch and the Nagoya 16.5" Whip Antenna I use without crowding or impacting them in any way. The radio's PTT button and the Mic/Earphone or Mike/Shoulder Speaker jacks were not blocked or covered at all by this pouch. If I need to change frequencies, I can quickly and easily release the buckle and webbing strap to which the elastic cord is attached and remove the radio from the pouch to access the radio's keyboard. When finished, I can easily slide the radio back into the pouch and push the buckle closed again, securing the radio without needing to re-adjust the elastic cord again. While the pouch's front panel covers my radio's speaker, it doesn't block or reduce the radio's sound appreciably. If using the radio with either the Mic/Earphone or the Mic/Shoulder Speaker, having the pouch's front panel covering the radio's speaker is a non-issue. The Viperade Adjustable Handheld Radio Pouch is made of very durable nylon, strong Velcro strips, and durable, strong elastic cord materials, and a high level of craftsmanship is evident from the accuracy of cutting the materials, sewing the panels together with straight stitches that are doubled in those locations receiving higher levels of stress or wear. The pouch can be mounted to standard MOLLE webbing ladders with two strong Velcro strips at the top and bottom of the pouch's back side. If wearing the pouch on a standard duty belt is preferred, it has a wide belt loop that will fit the widest and thickest duty belt you might find. Either the MOLLE or belt loop will hold this pouch very securely for you to access your radio quickly and easily.The only negative I found with the Viperade Adjustable Radio Pouch was if I was using the smaller OEM 2000 mAh Li-ion Battery in my BF-8FHP radio. The pouch would allow me to adjust its height to still hold my radio securely inside it. But all of the radio's operating controls, except the On/Off switch, and the Mic/Earphone or Mic/ Shoulder Speaker jacks were completely covered by the pouch's panels. I could carry my radio in the pouch securely, but I would have to remove the radio entirely from the pouch to use it, if the smaller OEM 2000 mAh Li-ion battery was installed. When I consider the manner in which I would be using my BF-8FHP radio during a disaster situation, natural or man-made, or in a SHTF event, that one negative isn't a deal-breaker, as far as I'm concerned, so I didn't deduct a star for it. All in all, I was impressed with the Viperade Nylon Adjustable Handheld Radio MOLLE-ladder or Duty Belt Carrying Pouch's functionality and ease of use, quality of materials and craftsmanship, and value delivered for its price, compared to other competitive products.I'm making this short addition to my review because I "McGyvered" a very simple, but effective, solution to the one negative I had for the Viperade Adjustable Radio Pouch, which was that it completely covered the operating buttons and the Mic / Earphone or Mic / Shoulder Speaker input jacks when the short OEM 2000 mAh Li-ion battery was used on the BF-8FHP handheld amateur radio. I measured the dimensions of the additional space taken up by the extension found on the 3800 mAh Li-ion battery, compared to the smaller OEM 2000 mAh Li-ion battery. I then cut a small block of firm closed cell polyethylene foam the size of the additional space taken up by the extended battery from some packing materials saved from previous shipments. Whenever I need to use the smaller OEM 2000 mAh Li-ion battery on my BF-8FHP radio when it is carried in the Viperade Radio Pouch, I simply slide the block of closed cell foam into the pouch and push it to the bottom, then slide the "short" BF-8FHP radio in on top of it and snap the elastic cord's buckle closed. Now all the radio's controls are out in the open and easy to use and I can insert and remove the Mic / Earphone or Mic / Shoulder Speaker into its jack with no problem. It looks just like I have the extended battery on my radio, instead of the smaller OEM battery. Problem solved, and the Viperade Adjustable MOLLE Radio Pouch easily earns the 5-star rating I originally gave it. If you were having the same problem, I hope you read this and can solve your problem as easily as I solved mine.

Worth every penny
The material is top notch and the price is well worth it.

Fits several, not all my radios.
This case fits my Baofeng UV-82HP, Baofeng FS-888S and my Kenwood G71. My much smaller Kenwood TH-F6 fits but, but it is kind of swallowed up inside this large case. NOTE: Also can be adjusted to fit when the longer/extended battery pack is added to UV-82HP. I would recommend this case for most radios, except the very small compact units like the TH-F6. The attachment webbing/velcro is very adjustable. Should attach to most belts or webbing.

Fantastic for Motorola Radius Radios
I considered the OEM Motorola swivel holster and belt clip. I also looked at aftermarket holsters on Amazon. In the end, I consider this a great purchase. I use it on TV/Movie sets with the standard Motorola CP200. Fits perfectly. You can mount it horizontally or vertically if you'd like. The snap-on retainer works great. Securely holds my radio. I use it most often with the remote speaker-mic which was my intention. Otherwise, it's too much of a pain to constantly slip in and out of the holster due to the retention/friction. If that's you're intended purpose, you may want to look at the OEM holster.

Perfect fit
I purchased this radio case for a BK kng2. The radio fits in the case perfectly and still allows access to the PTT, channel and volume controls. The case is durable and well made. It has Velcro straps on the back that can be used to attach the case horizontally or vertically. Good pricing as well.

Webgear Radio
Product works well for my intent. I use it for a VHF radio attached to my webgear on brush fire incidents. The most recent incident I went on, the clasp held the radio in place and secure. It was also easy to snap off and check different radio channels when needed. For the price, I highly recommend this product.

I have 3 now...
It fits my Boafengs, Anytime, Harris and Motorolas; definitely a value for the money. It's size range stretches from my smallest to largest handheld radios quickly and easily. I've had mine a couple of weeks in a very harsh, desert like location and the material and stitching seem durable

Radio fits perfectly
I have a Baofeng BF-F8HP and I use a speaker mic. The case fits the radio perfectly. I used the molle straps and attached it to the side of my pack. That worked well, but made my speaker mic cable stretch a bit more than I liked. I switched to the horizontal hook and loop straps and attached it to one of my backpack straps which do not have molle webbing. It was nice to have this as an option.

Zu groß für meine Motorola PMR Funkgeräte
Gekauft um bei Outdoor Touren und Film- und Fotoproduktionen die Geräte griffbereit zu haben.Die Taschen wirken wertig verarbeitet.Für meine Motorola T62 allerdings viel zu groß, so dass man die Klettbänder deutlich überstehen hat und das Band für die Tiefe der Tasche sich mit den oberen Gummibändern im Weg ist. Doofe Konstruktion. Der Rest ist okay. Ich denke größere Geräte würden besser passen, das könnte man in die Beschreibung mit aufnehmen. Irgendwo habe ich noch alte klobige CB Funkgeräte, die sollten passen…Für das Mollesystem meines Lowepro ProTactic AWII Kamerarucksack passt es auch nicht richtig - siehe andere Kundenbewertungen… und für über 950 Bewertungen keine einzige deutsche Bewertung, ist seltsam. Da habe ich allerdings zu spät hingeschaut…

A good value, works well
After using this for a bit I really like the clip used to secure my radio. Many harnesses use velcro which tends to fail over time, and i hate losing my radio lol. I like being able to custom fit the harness to the radio.

Good Product
Using this holster is way better than clipping radio to the strap of your vest; especially if your work requires treading through bushes, wading in water, quading, snowmobiling, and the like.

Does the job!
Works well. I’m not obsessed with the elastic strap over the antenna but it does the job!
