I considered using a radio pouch for my Baofeng UV5R's and all of the one's that were the right size and shape cost about half as much as the radio did. I gave up. It just didn't seem to make economic sense. If its not raining, I clip it to the outside of my pocket or Molly Backpack. If its raining, I clip it to my pocket with the radio on the inside of my pocket. Since the wife and I are both Hams, she drops hers in her pocketbook and I clip mine to my fanny pack. Whenever we are our of sight of each other, we turn them on and operate simplex. Both of the one's we daily carry are CAMO and have the oversize CAMO batteries. Yep, we both carry an extra battery at all times. We do that because we sometimes forget to turn them off and being caught with a dead battery is horrible.
