The Leather Case Debate

[ScanManQSL]

Im in the debate in buying a case for my Pro-96 and don’t know which one to get. I would like to get some opinions. Is there another cases out there besides these two?



Option 1: http://mx.geocities.com/cued630621ax7/Leather_cases.html
Option 2: http://www.scannermaster.com/store/01-580816.html

Lo sentimos! este sition esta temporalmente inaccesible. My spanish aint that good, but I think that means the site isn't accesible. Anyways, I like the scannermaster better. Like I said the other night in the chat room, the scanner master looks alot sturdier, even if a little stiff.

I picked option two, you dont seem to have much use for a spanish case...

:lol:

Option 2

I personally like Option 1 better. The only problem is, its being sold by some, one individual and not a merchant such as Radio Shack or some other electronics stores.

I think option 1 is the same case that scanners unlimited carries.

Hey Scanman

I personally like the one the one person is making, looks like a nice tight fit. Plus it does not seems so bulky as the scannermaster one. Believe me I carry one at work and is a pain, it weigh's more then the radio haha

Also remember that the scannermaster has no plastic covering for the keys.
So, I pick the option 1 and actually might buy one myself!.
Cool Poll

Just my 2 cents

i would like option two if it had a flap to keep the radio inside and keep rain and snow, etc out... would also want to have the keypad enclosed by something that will also keep the wx out.... i use an earfone when i carry the thing around anyway so don't need sounds holes.....

I vote for Option 1. I purchased this case a couple of weeks ago. This case is very nice, isn't bulky and protects the entire radio, including the key pad and display. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Option 2 case does not protect the key pad and display?

I vote option 1. I have that case, fits my PRO96 & 95. Looks great in the case too. The scanner can stand upright on a desk or table while in the case. The display and keypad are always protected. I originally had some reservations about ordering something from someone in Mexico, but it came quickly after I ordered and was shipped something like FedEx 2-day to boot.

... and it looks like he's developing a model to fit my BC246T too.

Thnx Everyone

Thanks everyone,

I went ahead and order the case from ScannersUnlimited. I was better off going with the soft leather case due to the fact that it offers more protection for the keypad/Screen then the other case.


Thank Again

Re: CASE

mandlair,

ScannersUnlimited and The guy who is selling it from Mexico are both selling identical cases.

The picture to the right you can see the light reflecting off the plastic window.

Does anyone have a photo of a Pro 96 in either one of those cases?

 

[gawecki]

Scott,

That is a Pro96 in these two pictures.

#1 is a much nicer looking case IMHO. You might want to look at cases made by BEE Products. I have several from there for different radios & they are very well built cases. Webpage is: www.beecase.com
