An Excellent GPS Carrying Case, Especially for 4.3" Garmin UnitsJune 29, 2010 Lawrence H. Bulk(New Jersey USA) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I currently own two Garmin GPS units, the GARMIN 010-00656-00 Nuvi 250W Widescreen Travel Assistant and the Garmin nüvi 285W/285WT 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic. Both are the same size.
Both fit perfectly in the Garmin 4.3-Inch Carrying Case. But, now that I own this AmazonBasics Carrying Case for Portable GPS Units (Black), which costs less and, I think, is better-made, I see no reason to buy the Garmin case.
This AmazonBasics unit is slightly smaller in exterior dimensions than the Garmin one, yet the AmazonBasics case is padded better. In addition, the AmazonBasics unit has elastic extensions on its sides rather than the vinyl ones on the Garmin; the extensions leave room at both the top and bottom of the sides in order to facilitate retrieving the GPS unit. It is easy to insert and remove my Garmins in either of these two cases.
Don't let the elastic sides dissuade you from the purchase; they appear to be quite robust and I am certain that this case will last at least as long, if not longer, than Garmin's own.
Like the Garmin case, the AmazonBasics case has a pocket; however about the only thing you could put into either would be a few small pieces of paper. Especially when the GPS is stored in either of the cases, it is difficult to retrieve anything stored in the pocket. Yet I suppose it's better to have it than not to have it. Someone may find a use for it.
Since AmazonBasics has begun, I have obtained several of their items. In all cases thus far I have found the items to be at least comparable to the "name-brand" equivalent (and better made in some cases) and they are priced lower. In my opinion, Amazon Basics products represent good value for money.
The "frustration-free" packaging is a bonus; though you DO need an implement to open the box (I use an ordinary letter opener), there is none of the teeth-gnashing associated with those "wonderful modern" plastic packaging which are now so ubiquitous. (I detest that type of packaging!)
I give this little case five stars in its category - for its construction, for its design, for its usefulness, and for its price.
For owners of the Garmin 200-series GPS units, and for owners of other GPS units which are of the same size, I recommend this case highly.
good multi-purpose electronics holderMay 29, 2010 M. Sullivan(Silicon Valley, CA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a nice cheap multi-purpose electronics holder. It expands to fit your device and is a good option if you like the flexibility of being able to use it eventually for a different GPS or other electronic device. The outside is stiff enough that it would take a good amount of pressure exerted on the case to damage any LCD screen inside. The sides and top are open, so this is not a good option if you're worried about collecting dust on a seldom-used device. The case expands to fit the device, and looks like it would comfortably fit devices that are up to 4.75 inches long and anywhere from 2.75 to 3.25 inches wide and .5 inches to .9 inches thick. The extra slot in front hardly opens and it would be hard to fit anything more than the shape and thickness of a few credit cards inside it. The "frustration-free packaging" is easy enough to work with that most people should be able to open it with just their hands. For the price and flexibility, it seems like a pretty good deal.
does not fit all 4.3" GPS unitsJune 21, 2010 Laura B(San Jose, CA United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this for my 4.3" TomTom 920. I like it because it is simple and doesn't take up extra space by having nice, clean lines. Its walls are just sturdy enough to protect the LCD screen and keep it from getting scratched. My problem is that my TomTom is too thick to fit into the case. I practically had to shove it in and it would not fit all the way. Then I could barely remove it. So, because TomToms have a rounded back and a thicker dimension than most, it does not fit in this case.
What does fit: Prime Entertainment Disney Mix Max Plus Media Player - Pirates of the Caribbean, iPod touch (loosely--will fall out, but can be used like a pocket inside your purse or luggage), Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera
Overall, an inexpensive simple option to protect your LCD screen electronic items. Just be aware that it does not fit all 4.3" GPS units. Does not protect from dust or dirt with the open sides, but if you need something light and easy for basic protection, this is for you.
