Coleman Lantern Protective Carry Case with Handle, Durable for Storage

I don't understand what all the fuss and disappointment is about. I've used these cases for my Coleman lanterns for 20+ years and have never had one fall out on me. The design hasn't changed and the quality remains the same as my first one. I buy a case for each of my lanterns because they provide the perfect amount of protection while not taking up too much extra space. I think it might be tricky for some, as the ball nut needs to align with the recess in the top of the case for the cover to fully seat all the way down on the base. This needs to happen for the case to latch properly and you can't see what's going on inside while doing it so maybe that's the issue. And the case will NOT latch on it's own; there are nubs on the bottom of the bumps that protrude through the cover. Once seated properly, the sides of the cover will snap over these nubs when pushed inwards, and it will not come apart once snapped into place. Even rough handling will not pop the sides open. If this is hard to picture from my description, try doing this without the lantern in place and it will easily latch properly and securely. I think for those that had their lantern fall out did not have it latched properly. It could probably hold 30 lbs or more in there without a problem. Once the design is understood it will instill confidence. I've hiked steep trails up and down while carrying the lantern case by the handle and have never felt the need to add a safety rope or tape to hold the bottom in. The case will protect the lantern more than a cardboard box, and it is pretty much rainproof. By design, falling rainwater cannot get into the case if it is sitting upright. But it is not shockproof and provides no cushioning. So pack your lantern in your 4x4 with care and it will be fine but you can't throw it or run it over and expect protection. And you can't put your lantern in the case while it is still hot, lol. Common sense folks, the latern uses fire and your brand new case is plastic.

Good case, protects your lantern

I bought this for my Coleman 295A lantern, and it fit perfectly. I'm really impressed with this product. The Coleman Lantern Protective Carry Case is strong and keeps my lantern safe. It's great to have a place to store my lantern and extra mantles. It's easy to use and makes carrying my lantern much easier. I'm very happy with this purchase.

This fits my Coleman DualFuel Powerhouse lantern (the grey one you can get pretty much anywhere, REI, Amazon, etc.) perfectly. Do note that it doesn't fit the propane (green canister) version. It includes some space underneath the fuel tank of the lantern to store things like a bic lighter, or a box of matches, or spare mantles (recommended!). The latches on the side are probably the weakest point of the design. You pop the lid over a little bump on the bottom section as a "latch". I don't know, it just seems like the plastic will wear out there pretty quickly after opening and closing it a bunch of times - plus, it's where the weight of the lantern is transferred into the carry handle. Just seems like a single point of failure. Also, considering it's just one piece of blow molded plastic attached to a piece of injection molded plastic, they are asking an awful lot of money for it.

Case filt my 1990’s Colman lantern with no modifications. Safely stores and protects it. Rugged and lightweight.

Precisely fits the lantern!

This Coleman lantern carrying case is identical to the other two I have, except molded in black. My other two red cases are about 45 years old and are still holding up like new. This case is amazingly made with the same quality as my older cases. I purchased this one because of the black color in order to make it easier to know which lantern I’m reaching for. I now keep my Powerhouse® Dual Fuel model 295-700T lantern in the black case since it has a black ventilator, and my older green lanterns in the red cases. I’ve read comments in regards to people saying the lantern will fall out of the case due to the bottom dropping out. In the 45 years that I’ve owned my red cases, I’ve never had the bottom drop out. The slots at the bottom of the cases cover snap into place locking the bottom securely. You MUST push the bottom of the cover’s slots firmly under the nub protrusions on both sides of the base. It’s also necessary to place the cover over the lantern straight down so that the lanterns ventilators ball nut enters the recessed area found under the carry handle. Then press the slotted tabs over the nubs at the same time. I also keep extra tie-on mantles in the recessed area under the lantern. Unfortunately, my vintage 12/61 Coleman lantern 220E is about an inch too tall to fit in these lantern cases.

Case itself fits my 220K lantern well and is very sturdy... all except for the most important part... the "latches". (And I'm using that word very loosely) There is NO way I would ever trust carrying my lantern in this case without having a strap around it. Others may but not this old man, so I'll wrap a ratchet strap around it and roll on.

Fits really well with dual fuel Coleman North Star lantern. Some reviewers say make certain to clip top to base firmly all the time. You may otherwise attempt to pick up the case and inadvertently have it drop out the bottom causing damage to it.

Eccellente prezzo ed è praticamente perfetto anche per la mia lanterna modello 2000 a benzina, basta alzare leggermente la base in gomma per farla entrare perfettamente!! D’altronde per questo modello la Coleman non ha fatto custodie dedicate. Ora è protetta e ci ho messo pure le retine di scorta. Pagata 11.47€

ノーススター2000を入れるのに購入しました。 他の方のレビューにもある様にランタン本体の台座のゴムを上にズラせばピッタリフィットです♪ ハードケースなので他のキャンプ道具と一緒に運んでもケースが潰れる事もありません。 ソフトケースが嫌な方には良いアイテムだと思います。 少しだけ定価より高かったのが残念ですが、海外からの取り寄せだったので送料を考えれば、 300円位は仕方ないのかなと思います。 届くまで日数が掛かるので、欲しい方は早目の注文が良いと思います。

O produto se encaixa perfeito a lanterna, mas o preço é alto.

Fits the Coleman powerhouse dual fuel lantern perfectly, the snaps are tight and the case is good quality. I have had a green case for a smaller lantern for twenty years atleast made of same material, always has kept lantern safe and secure, no broken globes and even the mantel has held up aswell for many years
