The last batch I received from my supplier had some quality control issue so until I (or my bro-in-law who's going to run my eBay store going forward) find a more reliable supplier I'm not selling them yet.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on November 23, 2017, 03:34:13 pmYou are correct. it doesn't. You have internal pouch on the cover inside and two velcro strips, one for probes and one for instrument...Separate closed compartment would be nice, but it's ok this way too..

content: Quote from: 2N3055 on November 23, 2017, 08:48:41 pmI wish the cover pouch was larger and had some kind of closure like velcro or elastic. As it is it is far too small and anything you put it it will fall out when you open the case.

content: Quote from: 2N3055 on November 23, 2017, 08:48:41 pmI never like those pouches on the inside, where your sharp probes end up exactly next to the screen of the multimeter. You could put them in upside down, but I rather have them neatly separated.

content: Quote from: Mr. Scram on November 24, 2017, 09:37:15 amYou don't put probes into pouch, you put them next to the instrument, away from the screen to the right side and tighten it with Velcro.. screen is safe then. Pouch is more for booklet or maybe thermocouple ...

content: Quote from: 2N3055 on November 24, 2017, 09:51:58 amI have to admit is was a holster from a Chinese source, so YMMV. The velcro strap has the typical pattern you find on the back of velcro with regular bumps, see the top part of the image below. These bumps have left a black pattern on the yellow holster. The multimeter was put in the case and maybe moved around a few times, but handled gently. It wasn't carried outside, in a car or any other high vibration environment. It just sat in the case on my desk.
