Kydex Radio Holsters & Carriers
Define the communications device envelope
Two radios with similar housings can differ at the battery, connector, antenna or control area. CarryMold records the exact reference and the allowed accessory state before the opening, reliefs and retention contacts are released.
Radio-specific specification map
| Zone | Buyer input | Sample evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Top controls | Knobs, antenna, emergency button and clearance | Access and visibility review |
| Side interface | PTT, keys, speaker-mic or data connector | Connected-device handling trial |
| Battery/base | Battery variant, latch and charging needs | Seating and removal check |
| Retention | Passive, adjustable or supplemental strap | Defined movement/release test |
| Mounting | Belt, MOLLE, orientation and neighboring equipment | Installed loaded sample |
Develop a device family without assuming universality
A shared visual language can span several radio SKUs, but each approved device and battery combination needs its own fit basis. A family matrix should separate shared material, edge, hardware and packaging rules from model-specific cavities and access zones.

Frequently asked questions
Can one carrier fit several battery options?
Only when every allowed battery configuration is included in the dimensional and functional approval matrix.
Can a remote microphone remain connected?
Yes, when the connector, cable direction, strain relief and access sequence are defined before sampling.
Can radio carriers use private-label packaging?
Yes. SKU identity and included mounting hardware should match the exact approved device configuration.
Build the brief around the configured radio
Use the custom KYDEX radio holster development guide to record battery variants, controls, display, connectors, cable paths, retention and the installed belt or MOLLE interface before sampling.
