The Leather case is included with any purchased Tempest Kit.
It's not a high end vegetable tanning leather, but it's thick enough for handling and storing the burning hot Tempest heater and does its functions well.
The leather needs to be broken in, tiny black pieces will fall from the inside at the start.
The Leather case doesn't like any leather conditioner on the outside, and will release some black dye if moisturized.
The fit is loose enough to let the Tempest fall when squeezing the case upside down.
The hot Tempest goes inside Cap first, I usually wait until the Visual Indicator Pointer is back to its start position before storing the device.
Size and shape is nice to fit in the pocket/bag. There is a slight play at the top, when shaking on purpose, but I don't feel it in my pockets.
I'm not a fan of the small perforations in the leather near the heater side, as it is better to keep the VI housing free from any possible dust/debris.
I have other storage options, but I prefer this Leather case with the Tempest, it's a good match.
The upper part of the case can be used as a tweezer/finger protection for unscrewing the hot Cap and letting it cool down.
The Leather case comes with a Stainless Steel multi-tool placed between the stitches.
It's not a Reload, but it is useful for debowling a tight packed load, setting the Bowl screen and the flat side act has a screwdriver for the Ball Retaining screen and the VI screw.
Out of this world's reality, Vegan "anti-leather" people ?
Please, just give this leather case as a pen storage to somebody else, as it also serves as an efficient protection packaging for MH shipping.
Use an over-cultivated thick cellulose fabric or a heavily processed metal extracted from the Earth, as a case instead.
Just don't be dumb and melt protein/synthetic leather on your hot Tempest heater.
