carrying case [Posted on 2008-04-26] It fits the Garmin eTrex very well, leaving it usable and may save it from damage in case I drop it.
Case performs poorly [Posted on 2008-05-12] After two weeks of using the Garmin Carrying Case I put it away, probably for good. The reason for this is that it just simply is not ergonomic. As you can see in the picture, the case butts right up against the menu button and also enter button for the Vista HCx making these buttons very difficult and frustrating to use. It is also very difficult to get the gps unit in and out of the case. It would have been better to have made a 'hard' case in which the unit was meant to be removed to be used. I bought a small 'fanny' pack to use instead for geocaching and just put the unit, sans case, in that; that works out better. I cannot recommend this case at all.
The Perfect Partner for You Garmin GPS [Posted on 2008-05-12] This is the perfect partner for you Garmin GPS system, it protects your GPS from dust, water, fall downs and scratches on the screen.
OK, but not that useful--Updated! [Posted on 2008-06-12] I received this case with my new etrex Venture. If came in a bundle with the Mapsource software, a USB cable and a lanyard. However, on my unit at least, the belt clip slides into a pouch on the back of the unit. The first time down the trail, the case slipped off the belt clip and dropped softly to the ground. Not acceptable! It will provide protection for your unit and the screen, the buttons are accessible, but not being able to clip it *securely* to clothing or a pack limits it's usability.
Update: I just received the Micropak case from GPS Outfitters (on Amazon but currently not being sold). It's a big improvement--a belt clip and a belt loop, pockets for accessories, a carry strap, attachment loop--and the Garmin etrex *with* the supplied case fits in it snug as a bug.
fits well [Posted on 2008-06-24] Like others, I'm tough on handheld items. This case, although not armor, will help in reducing damage to your GPS. It will clip on your belt and fits snuggly to the unit. The screens can be easily read though the plastic window.
