Plenty of Room for your NUVI and a Spare Power CordOctober 29, 2009 Timothy J. Mccarthy(Chicago) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
There are two types of GPS carrying cases out there. There are small, light, clip-to-your-belt cases that are good for carrying your unit when you leave the car for a while, and don't want to leave your GPS behind to tempt thieves. But it's also nice to have a safe and sturdy place to store your GPS between trips. This just might work for you.
I use the case to hold my NUVI and a spare power cord. The cigarette lighter adapter on my main cord self-destructed once, and since then I've always carried a spare with me. The main power cord I leave attached to my beanbag-like "Garmin portable friction mount" (a must-have item for NUVIs, much better than a suction cup on your windshield), and just wind it a couple of times around the base. The friction mount, and this case, stack up nicely on a shelf until I need them, and then I have only two things to grab and take with me.
One reviewer mentioned the suction cup mount won't fit inside the case along with the NUVI and power cord. I threw mine away, so I can't say either way. If you are still using the suction cup, and want to stow it with your GPS, this case probably isn't for you. But if you use the friction mount, and want to bring a spare power cord handy, this works great.
Photo is misleadingSeptember 25, 2009 William Gonzalez(Sunny Skies) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
While this is a great protective case and will keep your Nuvi fairly safe, the photo used to promote the item is misleading. I like the unit but I have a Garmin Nuvi 765 and just a s the previous poster wrote the windshield mount will not fit in the case properly. The mount has a rigid ball as part of the mount and that is the piece that will not safely fit in this case. Yes you can force it but that is taking a chance that if you drop the case it will press upon your screen and possibly damage it. Otherwise it's an excellent case and will allow you to store most of the other components you need to take store. The area you see in the photo with the net mesh is where you store the accessory items. Good solid material and well manufactured, strong zipper. I give it 3 stars more if the photo was changed.

Room for Garmin and charger onlyFebruary 5, 2010 PJ in Bellevue(Bellevue, WA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Only case I found that had even this much room. Great protection for GPS. Wish it had room for the dash mount as well so I could keep all the pieces together.
Good Case for a Good PriceMarch 9, 2010 J. Marshall(ON Canada) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a good case for the price. The only thing better would be if it would hold the mount as well as the cords for the Garmin Nuvi.
