Well, for the record:  I ended up buying a "beeper case" in a local uniform
shop.  It was made by "Duty Man" and is a black utility case used by law
enforcement to carry beepers.  I have used it and it works well for what I
wanted.  Best of all, it protects the battery from the elements and is hand
to clip on to any belt.  Thanks for the ideas.
