Belt Mounted Leather Case Custom Designed for the Tascam DR-1 - Black Color with Removable Clip by G

Belt Mounted Leather Case Custom Designed for the Tascam DR-1 - Black Color with Removable Clip by Gomadic
  • Constructed of premium black leather, this slim fitting and classically designed carrying case will fit any clothing style or fabric.
  • Case dimensions are sized to accommodate 70.1 x 27.3 x 135 mm . A perfect fit for the Tascam DR-1.
  • Detachable belt clip can be used as a carrying option. Case also has an integrated belt loop to provide a second alternative.
  • Case provides functionality with a streamlined shape. A great look for both casual or business setting.
  • Secure magnetic closure simplifies case operation and provides quick and easy access. No snaps or buttons to align or secure.

I really don't like schlepping the DR-1 around in my pocket for field recordings and I certainly don't want it visible in the majority of cases so when I found the Gomadic case, it appeared to be the answer to my dreams. Unfortunately it sits on a shelf in the foxy pouch it shipped in, totally useless. I liked the act that it might masquerade as a PDA but none of the openings in the case let one access the MIC 1 IN jack without cutting the pouch. I imagine some marketer at Gomadic was brainstorming an existing product that was not selling well and decided it would be perfect for the DR-1, without ever so much as sliding a DR-1 into the case. Typical of the new age marketers that seem to populate the planet. They can "talk the talk" but not only are they unable to walk, they seem to be unable to crawl. But, I digress.

The case is well made though large for the DR-1. It comes with a removable, very positive "belt" clip and a nice magnetic catch plus a cloth storage pouch as I mentioned previously. Should you want to run your belt through the belt cut-outs, you'll require the assistance of Hercules to effect that feature. Ergo, don't bother.

All in all, had I an opportunity to do a hands-on prior to purchasing this product, I would not have slide the plastic. I guess it's time to visit the largest on-line garage sale in the world and hawk my wares.
