Coleman Lantern Protective Carry Case, Lightweight Carry Case with Handle for Coleman Lanterns, Keeps Lantern Safe & Provides Extra Storage Space for Mantles & Other Items

We used a gas Coleman lantern for years. I like the sound of the gas hissing through the generator, but we haven't used it for years. Picked up a 5154 propane lantern, almost new, at a garage sale on our street a number of years ago.. just the lantern in the box. Planning on going out again this year, so went looking for a Coleman case to protect the lantern. Ebay has a bunch of used ones in the old red design, but it always added up to about $28. This is new, double wall, closes like a clam shell, and takes most of the Coleman propane lanterns. Our 5154 has the sloped, wider top. It fits just fine, along with room for extra mantels (always carry at least one spare!) Turn the hanger so that it's front to back, not side to side, and the case closes easily and locks shut. This is about the best price I've found for a brand new case.

I bought this case for my Coleman 5152 to replace the much less than adequate carrying case that originally came with the lantern and this one really is worth keeping.Construction: Consider this case as protection from day-to-day bumps and knocks that come with normal use and reasonable handling, not as a guarantee that this is an impervious shield against all perils. The case is made from lightweight, extruded plastic but certainly sturdy enough to do the job for which it was designed (see the first sentence), the over-sized latch closes securely but it's is still easy to snap open even with thick leather gloves (yep, I tried it), and the hefty folding handle is more than adequate to lift a lantern and has rounded edges for carrying comfort as well as a pebbled surface to help make it slip resistant.Fit: This fits my 5152 perfectly and I would guess it would fit any of the other Coleman Lanterns that are listed as compatible for this case. I'm curious as to what Coleman model or other brand lantern those raters are using when they are complaining about the fit because that would make their reviews that much more valuable. Please, people, if your item is not listed as compatible with the product you are considering buying and you still buy it, don't complain if doesn't work; it's your fault and your fault alone if it doesn't work/fit, so deal with it.More Fit: It took me ten seconds and one trial to figure out how to position the lantern in order to securely close the case.Storage: You can fit an extra pack of mantles in the space under the lantern, but you'll have to find other accommodations for the gas bottle.Bottom Line: Great case, good price, will reasonably protect your compatible Coleman Lantern, sturdy enough to last.

Works perfectly as expected

Fits my old coleman lantern. Easy-to-use, Latch holds so far, Not popping open not like cheaper ones. I like the handle for carrying. Plenty of room for mantles and ignition sources

no assembly needed, fit my lantern and provide good protection, plastic material is good quality. only problem is that it is a bit big which take up quite some space for camping. need to think about what I can store inside with damaged the layern now...

Perfect for our laterns

Great product for the price. It holds the lantern secure, and in place. I would buy this again, or recomend it to another customer.

Fit my lantern perfectly, has room for extra mantles and even paperwork if you have the original. Sturdy and what to expect from the great Coleman lantern company
