KaitoRC500 EVA Hard Shell Storage Case with Double-Zipper and Carrying Handle for The Voyager KA500 Radio

Manual photo were saturated in black. Made it hard to visualize the instructions, very cheap and poor printing. Built-in aerial not sufficient to block static noise.

Good product

There is nothing wrong with the case per se (in fact it's kind of nice), but ...... be warned! The Kaito AD-500 charger sold for the KA500 radio does not fit in this case, despite the case description explicitly saying that it holds the "power adapter" and product images showing the charger in the case. The mesh zippered accessory area is only 1" deep, so there is no way that the 2.5" (1.5" case + 1.0" plugs) x 1.75" x 2.25" charger is going to fit. I can cram it in, but only by overstretching the mesh and pressing seriously on the radio.I contacted the seller to verify I got the right case and charger, and they say I did and that, "Normally you won't have to carry the adapter around." Yeah, well I, at least, want to keep all of my accessories together and a case that doesn't hold the charger is a non-starter for me.

First of all, one of the main things I like about this radio is that you can put your own batteries in it. Besides that, it comes with a replaceable battery PACK. So you can replace batteries two different ways. You can charge 3 individual cells on your charger and put those into the radio. Or you can charge the included battery PACK via USB. You can select either the included battery PACK or your individual cells to play the radio.The sound isn't really good enough for music, but voices are discernible. For instance, I can clearly hear the weather forecast on the NOAA weather channels. Overall, the radio has a nice design and everything on it seems to work like it's supposed to. And you don't have to throw the radio out (like you do with some radios) because of dead batteries. I had to throw out my last one!I would like better sound for music.

The Kaito KA500 radio fits perfectly but the AC adapter will not fit in the case with the radio. I only have 2 complaints with the case first the AC adapter will not fit inside with the radio, that would really be nice if it did, second its not a hard case so if you drop something heavy on it the radio will be damaged (the case does offer some protection but you will not be able to sit anything heavy on it). Overall its a good value the only other option would be to buy a Pelican case which would be heavier and more expensive.
