Kestrel Meter 4000 Carry Case by Nitelze
Excellent case ... one (two?) annoyance
Although technically a "soft" case, this is one of the sturdiest I have ever seen. The front and back panels are thick and stiff; my meter remains in this case at all times when I am not looking at it, and I often throw the meter in my backpack where it rattles around with tons of other potentially "dangerous" articles. I am not at all worried about my meter when it is in this case.
However, the case does have one major annoyance, and one "kind-of" annoyance. First, the "kind-of" annoyance: The belt clip is one of those that has a strong upward bend at the bottom of the clip, so that it essentially completely encircles the belt. This makes it extremely secure on all but an oversize belt. But it also makes it *really* darn difficult to take off of a belt once it's on; it does not simply slide on and off. I will leave it up to the reader to decide if that is a real annoyance or not; I suspect someday I will be glad of this feature, but right now, it is simply annoying.
The major annoyance is a big one for me; the velcro on the front panel is obviously both stitched and glued. I know this, because the glue is leaking through the stitch holes on the inside of the case and gumming up the screen of my meter when I pull it out. It does wipe off with a bit of work (it's mildly more tolerable if you have done what I have done and cut out a small piece of screen protector, such as from a PDA, and put it over the screen). But taking the meter in and out of the case repeatedly can result in a really gummy screen.
I still highly recommend this case; if not for the glue issue, I would easily give it a 5-star rating.
