Mixed feelings.Dec 07, 2006
By A. Steckel
While I very much like the heater that this "case" was supposedly made to carry, I didn't find anything extraordinary about the case itself. It is indeed large enough to hold the heater, along with 3 mini propane tanks, possibly a 4th, and even a 5th, if you squeeze. Since I have multiple pieces of camping gear that utilizes these tanks, that's about how many I want to bring for a weekend, so I certainly use the product.
But other than that, there's nothing very special about it - it's really just a black, zippered bag. I guess "specially-designed" just means it happens to be large enough to hold the thing it was specially-designed for? Don't get me wrong, it's a nice enough bag, and the build quality is good. But it is unremarkable, and you could replace it with nearly any other bag of the same size.
The bag does have 2 elastic "propane tank cozies" stitched into the inner wall of the bag. And while I'm sure Coleman thinks this qualifies the bag as being "special," I found little value in the feature. For one, the pouches are undersized and it was quite a struggle to get the tanks into the cozies. And once they were in there, I just didn't see much of a reason for it. They didn't really "roll all around the bag" to begin with, so I took them back out for easier access. I have not bothered with them since.
I, for one, would like to see Coleman take this back to the design table and add some value to it. It's a good start, but with more thought and creativity, I bet they could make it a really worthwhile product. In the meantime, I'll keep my bag and make use of it, but I can't really recommend it to anyone who already has other acceptable means of carrying their camping gear.

 Too Small Carry BagJan 10, 2007
By Samuel L. Lewis
This bag is too small for the Colemman ProCat Catalytic Heater.
I was lead to believe it would accept all Coleman Heaters but this is not correct.
A larger Carry Case Bag is needed for the ProCat Heater.

 Too SmallAug 13, 2009
By Rolando Gonzalez Moyano
First: The picture shows a leather case. Wrong. Is just like a beach bag.
Nothing special.
Second: Really too small. The ProCat fit inside the case
only with Vaseline (or a miracle).
Conclusion: A big deception and never,
never be bought together.

 Just right - GoldilocksSep 16, 2009
By rhodeymark
I am glad I didn't bother with the negative reviews on this one, it turns out my instincts were right. I would be irked too if I had bought a ProCat only to find it didn't fit, but I was planning on using it with a 5038 BlackCat and decided to take a chance. Turns out that it would almost be fair to describe this bag as custom fit for the BlackCat - and yet the compatible models listed on the bag tag stop at 5036 (!) That docked it a star, and Coleman/Amazon both need to get their story straight. Someone wrote they had a struggle getting the bottles into the elastic sleeves, and a few moments thinking about it led me to realize how easy it is. Stick your hand down through the sleeve - hand yourself the bottle and pull it up through from the bottom - voila! They are very snug and hold the bottles in place. I wouldn't want to have floating bottles in the bag as someone else wrote, as the heater is not an item that you would want (hidden) damage or unnecessary wear and tear on. So - if you decide on the 3k BTU BlackCat (as powerful as the ProCat w/o the 2 D-cell battery guzzling fan), you will be happy to know that this bag carries it and two secured bottles like it was custom designed for them.

 Coleman Soft Black Case for Catalytic HeatersJan 27, 2008
By Jon A. Barker
"Baseball Fan"
The Coleman Soft Black Carry Case for Catalytic Heaters is, like all Coleman products, just the right fit for the Coleman Golf Cart Heater and two bottles of fuel. Try tucking all of that equipment under your arm and carrying your stadium blanket while holding the hand of a child!
