Hi Bidn, your solution for carrying the spk looks very promising, guess I will be looking forward to getting one of those. But before that, there are several questions that I would like to ask before actually doing that.
When you put spk into that pelican case, how well does it fit? Is there space to wiggle, or everything is close and tight? If there is space for spk to wiggle in the case, will spk constantly bump into the case? I'm really concerned about this part since, as we all know, it is an spk, and I wish not to test its durability in this fashion.
Besides, if I am not mistaken, you will hang this pouch onto your belt. Would you say that this whole entire set is within the weight range that won't damage your belt? Since I don't have one of those military styles extremely durable heavy duty tactical belts, but only ordinary leather belts.
That all I'll have to ask, thank you and wish you'll have a nice day.
Hi Obscene0324,
You are quite insightful, the SP1000 does not fit tightly in the Pelican 1040, so I use one of those transparent plastic bubble sheep to wrap the SP1000. There is not much clearance but the flexible plastic bubble sheet gets compressed without being damaged when I close the Pelican case. The SP1000 is so solid that I don't think that it would be damaged, (wiggling would rather destroy the inner foam of the Pelican case), but I don't like the idea that it would not fit tight.
I use a normal leather belt, never noticed an issue.
I actually use daily another such pouch where I put my big leather wallet, my Galaxy Note (currently version 9 with 512 GB base storage) and miscellaneous stuff I usually carry with me. So my stuff doesn't make holes in my pockets like in the past nor get lost. I have taken this habit many years ago in the nineties, at the time I was living downtown in a big European city plagued by criminality (thefts, etc.), I was living in a flat and my neighbours were a policeman and a "policewoman", and they explained to me that the safest way for carrying my valuable belonging was in a pouch at the belt. Then I tried many different kinds (leather pouches for purses, CD-player carrying pouches, etc.), but none would last long nor would protect well against water in case of heavy rain. Until I discovered through amazon these German-made military pouches.
So I will always have on my right side such a pouch (same size) with my personal belonging. This is my second one, the first one lasted I think more than 5 years until a small hole appeared at the bottom.
When I walk with my dog, I put on the left side a smaller similar pouch with treats, plastic poo-bags, etc.
When I want to take the SP1000 along, I use the pouch showed on the pics on my left side.
What is nice about this kind of pouches is that the straps through which the belt passes extend along all the length of the pouch. I find this very handy because sometimes I have to sit (e.g. in a car) in a tight manner, the pouch will no be in the way, as it can raise due to these elongated straps and just rest on the chair or whatever.
What is also nice about these pouches is that they are cheap and you are not stuck with a single purpose (like for a single very specific device) but can use them for whatever you may want.
Wishing you too a nice day,
bidn
Additions, explaining a few more things:
- sometimes I need to dress up for my work (suit, tie), on these days don't carry any pouch but dispatch my wallet, smartphone, etc. across various pockets
- I don't listen to the SP1000 while moving (using instead Bluetooth headphones or receiver, at home, during chores). I use the pouch + Peli 1040 when I take the SP1000 with me to work, and will unpack this there and put the SP1000 on my desk. If I need to leave for a longer time (lunch), etc.), I can take them again with me in the pouch instead of leaving behind the SP1000 and expensive IEMs unattended in my room at work.
Good boy!
