Holster for UV-5R Standard or Extended Battery

Looking for a safe and reliable holster for your Baofeng UV-5R?

This holster is the ticket.

The front panel has cutouts to enable access to the buttons, microphone and speaker. The sides have slots remote microphones to be mounted. Two retention clips on the top keep the radio from accidentally falling out and from rattling inside the case. 

There are multiple models with different clip configurations to enable mounting to MOLLE, belts, or even sliding into a pouch. 

Current clips:
1" Clip for attaching to MOLLE.

2.25” Loop with 1/4” inner clearance for attaching to belts.

No Clip for sliding in and out of mag pouches.

A slot for the factory clip.

The bottom of the holster was designed to provide a secure building platform and position the holster at a 30 degree angle to increase strength.

Design has been tested in PETG and the 1" Clip version will likely hold up the best in that material due to improved flexibility. PLA+ will likely work well with the other versions as there is minimal bending required for those applications, but has not been tested.
