3 out of 5 stars not for wet enviroments   July 3, 2008
This is a great product for a walking around dust cover. However, if it becomes wet it will fog up on the inside and render the gps unreadable. other than that it is a great protective case. still glad i bought it. I just do a lot of canoeing and it doesn't suit my purposes. The gps is waterproof, i wish the case was.


2 out of 5 stars Not very well thought out   June 10, 2008

I bought this case for my Garmin 60CSx over a year ago. A month ago I lost my 60CSx. I really miss it, but not this case. The plastic cover reduces the sharpness of the display and can create glare. It also made it hard for me to push the buttons on the GPS. Several times, while I was climbing fences or up rocks, it fell off of my belt (that's how I lost it).

I replaced my 60CSx with a Garmin Colorado 400t, which I like much more that it's predecessor. I also bought Garmin's hard carrying case for it. Now that is one well thought out design! It is made for the bare unit to just set in it, completely enclosed. There is no plastic covering the screen or getting in the way of using it's features. It has two methods of mounting and both are more secure than the clip on this case.

I don't think that the 60 series would fit into the Colorado case, but Garmin might want to think about making one like it that would. It's much better than the case they are offering here.

4 out of 5 stars Does the job   June 5, 2008
Well made case. Protects the GPS very well, as with any case makes it somewhat harder to push buttons, and see with shiny clear vinyl window. All in all a good case that fits well.


4 out of 5 stars Works for my purpose   April 9, 2008
Bought this to keep the dust off and to provide a slight cushion when I strap it to my kite buggy on the dry lake bed. Put 160 miles on the buggy with the GPS and case; The only dusty part was the exposed parts. Washed the case in cold water, good as new. Wiped off the gps, good as new.

The hard usage of the jogger button is from the friction of the button and the clear plastic. I hope that they will eventually slide more easily. I'm considering a little 600 grit sandpaper on that portion of the clear plastic.

Yes, access to all ports on the back is blocked. A case with access to all the ports would be like swiss cheese, full of holes. Not really a big deal.



1 out of 5 stars a piece of plastic over a piece of plastic   February 29, 2008
I bought this cover for a reason. It was for my second Garmin 60csx. The first was lost overboard during a brutal night of sailing. I normally helm, but we mixed things up and I was up on foredeck. I should have put my Garmin down below.

The Garmin allows for a lanyard to be attached around a thin piece of plastic. It seems that this flaky attachment point is practically designed to fail. And fail it did.

So to it would also seem that the Garmin Protective Case would be custom built to solve this problem, hence the adverb Protective. Instead you get a piece of plastic to wrap around another piece of plastic. Gift wrapping if you will. Yes, it makes the buttons more difficult to manipulate. No, it doesn't allow access to the USB port. And you are correct for pointing out that the plastic window causes glare from just about any angle.

But no, it really doesn't offer much protection that a piece of some screen protection strip wouldn't. I paid $18 for this? Ok, I'm not too smart.
