 Returned Item February 8, 2008
The Garmin Vista is difficult to read without the clear plastic cover afforded by the carry case. When in the carry case, I could barely read the Vista's screen at all. The clear plastic that goes over the Garmin screen was too shiney and difficult to see through when out in the sun. Also, the case is bulky and significantly increases the size of the Vista. I sent it back. Thanks to Amazon for having such good customer service and allowing returns including shipping costs. I would have been very disappointed if I had been stuck with this carry case, as I would not use it. I would have given it zero stars, but a 1 is as low as it gets on the choices.
 Useful in the field January 13, 2008
This was a good buy for anyone doing extensive work in the field with your GPS. I hike quite a bit with my GPS and found the lanyard troublesome to use. I didn't like have the GPS hanging around my neck, swinging to an fro, so this is a good solution. Assuming you wear a belt, its an easy clip on, clip off and use right in the case. The case is specifically designed to keep all the buttons clear and free for use and it works well. A nice way to keep your GPS handy but securely strapped to your belt if you find yourself climbing a hill, fording a stream or whatever your adventures may get you into! I recommend a buy over using the lanyard this comes with your Garmin GPS.
Nice case - small issue with quality January 8, 2008
This case fits well, and works nicely to protect the GPS.
The only issue I have with it is the stiching on the front window has started to come a little loose at the top. TO BE FAIR, I could be the culprit as I tend to pull the top flap firmly when seating the GPS into the pouch, so it could be attributed to my own actions.
It still works great, I am just a little more careful about pulling on it now. The stiching is holding fine, and the case works great.
Be aware also, that due to its design (which is sort of necessary based on the key placement of the GPS), the top corners of the GPSr are still vulnerable to drops. So if you want something to completely surround your GPS, this isn't it. I wouldn't object if they cahnged the design slightly to widen the top flap so that it would reach the corners a little more.
Overall a great little case for the money.
Nice case, worth the money January 2, 2008
I have an eTrex, and it fits nice. The clip on the back is strong, and the case leaves the buttons free to use while still protecting it. The sides of the case are slightly padded, which probably protects it to some extent if it was dropped. I know this because I did, and I could hear that it was a padded "thump".
The window on the front could probably be a bit better, but really its fine.
Good case for a questionable gps unit November 30, 2007

This case is good, and it will protect my Garmin Vista for years to come....that's because I won't be using the damn thing. It's way too involved and complicated, and the manual is as clear as mud.
