C Crane CCRadio-2 and CCRadio-2E Fabric Carry Case (CC Radio 2/2E NOT Included)

Five stars for the build quality and usefulness. It fits the radio like a glove. The pocket in the back is perfect storage for the AC cord. It is easy to undo for battery replacement. Yes, it probably cost too much. But now that I have it, I have no regrets. I use the radio as a true portable. It is in and out of the house constantly. I can put the owners manual behind the radio for ready reference. Highly recommended for anyone who uses this radio as a portable.Update 15 months later:I have never plugged my radio into the wall. It is constantly being moved around, indoors and outdoors. I can't imagine this radio without this handle. Only good things to say. Still looks and behaves like new.

This carrying case is a well thought out product in that all of my controls are readily available as well as the pocket pouch houses my AC power cord for when I travel…

I got this "bag" for my c.crane ep pro. This bag not made for this radio bit it works great. A super tight fit, but the radio wont slip out amd the handy back pocket os very useful. Im able to carry by the strap and the padded bottom protects the radio from normal wear and tear.

This is a well made case but it does not protect the unit well enough for transport. It can mostly be considered a carrying case IMO. The only issue is the top strap that tightens the case onto the radio also covers the #4 memory button. Packaging says it is made in USA, yay for that!7/5/2024 Edit---I forgot to mention that the case also covers the Display Light button right above the main display. I remember where the button is located, but still...

I did not know what to expect when I ordered this, as it looked to be fairly redundant. Boy, was I wrong. The CCRadio-2E does not have a carry handle. Instead, there is an indentation on the back of the radio to fit you fingers so you can wrap your hand around the top of the radio to carry it around. I do not like this arrangement. I prefer a carry handle.This case provides a carry handle and more. I use this radio for MW as well as FM DXing, and it seems everytime I went to touch the radio to move it, I was inadvertently pressing a button somewhere I did not want to press. So, I was either changing bands or calling up memory positions. Very aggravating.the case provides a perfect carry handle, and is also very stylish and adds to the overall look of the radio.

This carry case is very expensive. They brag that it is made in USA. The radio is made in China, so they might as get the case made there too and sell it for 1/3 the price. In any event, the case is a must-have if you will be carrying this radio with one hand. Using the built in grip with the radio hanging precariously from only your fingertips is just too risky.The pouch in the back of the case is small, I would prefer it a little wider. You could stow more in it and it would square off the appearance. It does fit the power cord. There is an odd strap coming from the front that ends up going across the top of the radio and securing the pouch closed. It is really kludgey, riding right across the #4 preset button. The buttons are stiff enough to not be accidentally activated, but it looks like a sloppy after-thought design.As expensive and cheesy as this case is, you really need it if you will be carrying the radio anywhere. They could have molded some slots on the two top corners of the radio to accept a simple carry strap handle.

I had been looking for a replacement for an old world band portable Grundig that finally gave up the ghost. I almost went with an Eton Field Radio until I read the reviews for the Ccrane 2e on-line. Although it was more expensive than the Eton, I am very glad I went with the Crane. Very high quality and the sound is great! I live in the country so was worried about reception. I was very pleasantly surprised at how many stations I can receive clearly. All in all, a great radio!

I was very disappointed with the CCRadio-2E Fabric Carry Case . It seems to me that it doesn't fit the radio very well, the design wasn't well thought out, and I have absolutely no confidence that the radio won't fall out of the case while it is being carried. In addition, parts of the carrying case do obstruct access to the controls on the radio. I have already added some cotton twine tied around the case to make it less likely for a disaster to happen. And I suppose it's better than nothing at all to protect parts of the radio.
