Motorola PMLN8371A Classic Holster for APX N70

The genuine Motorola PMLN8371A is a rugged, hard plastic carry holster engineered for the APX N70 P25 smart radio platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this holster come with a belt clip?
No. The PMLN8371A is the holster cradle only. To secure it to your waistline you must separately purchase a compatible belt clip: PMLN8507 (2.5") or PMLN8508 (3.0").
Can I insert my radio with the screen facing outward?
No. This holster is designed to face the radio’s primary display screen inward toward the body, shielding the glass panel from scratches and direct impact while maximizing acoustic pathways to the radio’s integrated microphones.
Will this holster fit older APX or XPR series radios?
No. The PMLN8371A is molded exclusively for the APX N70 P25 platform’s specific dimensions, control layout, and battery footprint. It will not safely fit any other radio chassis.
