Do you actually have one? I wouldn’t mind seeing some pics of one in use.

Yeah, it gives me a “Your selection is not available for pick up at your closest store(s).” So I gather it’s not really shipping to a store, they’ll just reserve one from stock until you pick it up.

Thanks for the recommendation. I went out and but a pair for MrBlahface and myself. They don’t quite slide “like butter” but it’s a great fit.

The Hayneedle one would have to have a hole cut out for the meter in the bottom, not a big deal. Plus the “pouch section” seems a little small. Great find though, love to see how it works out.

Went to Sears yesterday, they have a ton of different [tape measure holders](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/tape-measure-holder) in different styles that work as [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) holders.

I bought 2 - 1 for the PKE, the other for my [belt gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board). Post up photos later of the 2 different styles I got. Beyond those 2 there are 2-3 more styles to use. Mine are tan leather, going to paint them or dye them black.

I ended up buying this one from Sears:

I already moved the top strap up so you can secure the [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) with it. The rivets are pretty tough to remove but its doable.

Adding photos in a few, going to dye it black tonight too.

This is me spamming my support for the beer holster industry:

I use a beer holster. Works fabulously.

Stop looking at my man bulge, pervs.

I like to keep 2 PKE’s on me at all times, in case I need a second opinion.
