Protects casing but stitching doesn't last

The soft spongy material used is pretty good for protecting the casing as well as the screen. But if you're using the metal D-ring (like with a carabiner), the stitching will not last. It took me 3 day hikes through the Malaysian rainforest before it...

Poor design.

I tried getting this cover on my unit Vista HCx three times...it took that many attempts to get the buttons and windows even close to lining up. The lowest button on the left side doesn't even show up in the window. When trying to get the unit out of...

Excellent product for the $ and nicely designed

I have the version that fits my Garmin etrex vista HCX. I use it on my mountain bike wrapping the velcor strap around the bar and clipping the carabiner clip on the brake cables. With this configuration I don't have to stop and pull it out of my pack...

not happy with this one

My garmin does not line up well in the case. It is always off center. since I often use the USB cable, it is a chore to take it the GPS out of the case all the time. The front side thumb button doesn't like coming out of that hole. I will probably...

Garmin compatible eTrex Neoprene GPS Carrying Case (Vista, Legend, etc.)

Works, but not always in the case right

This does the job it is desgned for but the GPS seems to work its way around in the case so the controls are never in the right spot.

Garmin compatible eTrex Neoprene GPS Carrying Case (Vista, Legend, etc.)

Good idea, poorly executed

This is the type of case Garmin should have made for their units, and if they did I suspect it would be well made. Unfortunately the Gilsson case is quite poorly made. After 5 months of moderate use the stitching holding the screen window started to...

Good little case.

This case is a good thing for an expensive GPS receiver. This is the only one that I have been able to find that covers the whole unit, including the screen and buttons. The windows are a little misplaced so that the buttons do not fall completely...
