Fits like a gloveSeptember 5, 2008 After receiving a replacement GPS 72 from Garmin, due to the original unit dying in the rain, i was after something to give me GPS a little more protection.
This cover fits like a glove and allows you to access and use the unit without removing it, a downside of the cover that Garmin themselves provide.
Garmin caseMay 15, 2008 A bit of a struggle to insert the GPS unit inside, but it does provide an extra level of protection for the unit, which is reassuring. Plastic does reduce the visibility slightly, but it is still easy to use and much easier to carry.
Fits perfectlyDecember 7, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After reading other peoples reviews of GPS Cases, I decided on this one as it allows you to view your GPS screen with the cover on. It has already paid for itself in protecting my GPS unit from major damage as I took a fall with it in my hand. It fits perfectly. I would buy this one again.
Good case.. but carabiner on wrong endJuly 13, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had no problems with the reported tightness of the case. It simply fits snugly, which is as I'd expect. (Though it may take a moment of fiddling with the case to center the GPS display in the case's plastic window.) The display is reasonably visible through the plastic window, and the buttons aren't too hard to press. I noticed no satellite reception issues that would be attributable to this case.
My only complaint with this case is that the carabiner is on the wrong end of the case, so that when I attach it to my backback's shoulder strap or belt, the unit is upside-down when I flip it up to look at it. To compensate for this, I have to hold the unit sideways and tilt my head at an awkward angle. Pretty silly.
Gilsson GPS Carrying CaseJuly 4, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I'll reiterate comments from several other reviewers.
It is a pretty nice case, but has some minor flaws. First, it is a very tight fit for my 76CSx. Somewhat of a struggle to get the GPS in the case. It does provide a clear view of the buttons and display. Second, I too worry about the seam where the window is sewn onto the fabric. Due to the tight fit, there is a lot of tension on the seam and one has to be extremely careful when trying to get the case to slide over the GPS. Third, a storage pouch for spare data cards would be great.
With some minor tweaks this could be an excellent case. Will have to see how it holds up in use.
