Customer Review: Excellent case
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had the E-Trex Legend for several years and needed to use it on a snowmobile without cobbling something hideous together with which to mount it. I'd originally wanted to mount it on the sled, but found the best place was slipped onto the strap for the goggles. The unit is still light enough to be forgotten on the helmet and it stayed put through some rather spirited rides. Tracking was fine. You can still access all the controls and the flap seems transparent to the signal needed to maintain contact with the satellites. It was used in some moderately wooded areas and suffered no apparent problems in keeping the track going. Should the unit fall, the extra material should offer additional protection.
Well worth the cost and perfectly suited to the snowmobiling venue. I also purchased the handlebar mount and will use it while four-wheeling after the snows melt, though the same helmet mount might be the ticket, once again. I'm sure it's subjected to less shock when on the headband for the goggles than if mounted on the handlebars, even with the rubber cushions.
Customer Review: A nice, helpful accessory for etrex

The Garmin Carry Case for the eTrex and Summit handheld GPS units is a convenient accessory for securely attaching the unit to a belt, backpack loop, or jacket pocket. The case has a clear plastic cover over the GPS screen, a belt clip (stiff spring steel) on the back, and leaves good access to the control buttons. The GPS slides into the case and a Velcro strap secures the case onto the GPS. A small opening at the bottom of the carry case allows the lanyard to be attached. The case is NOT a sealed covering: it just provides some scratch protection and the belt clip.
I have used the carry case to attach my GPS to a loop at the top of my small hydration pack when I am out on training runs. The high position gives excellent satellite exposure, and the carry case clip makes a very secure attachment even when bouncing around while running on uneven trails. I also put the lanyard through a clip as a backup, but I haven't had any issues.
A recommended, helpful accessory.
Customer Review: Useful in the field
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Protect Your Investment
Summary: 5 Stars
The Garmin eTrex Carry Case works very well with my Garmin eTrex Vista C. It is easy to see the screen, work the controls, and most importantly, it protects the GPS from those accidental drops that can occur on the trail. I dropped my GPS recently while on a hike. It tumbled several feet down some rocks. I thought it would be damaged, but the case did an excellent job of protecting it. Not a scratch. It's worth the money to protect your investment... just remember to attach the teather that came with the GPS to the back of the carry case!Customer Review: Fantastic accessory
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried 5-6 different GPS models over the years, and the Garmin Etrex series is the most impressive. They are simple, rugged, and deadly accurate.
I personally do not like a lanyard, so I started to look for a case for my Etrex basic that allowed me to comfortably carry it on my belt.
This case not only gives me the additional belt clip that I was looking for, but it also gives you even greater protection for your GPS.
This is a fantastic product and well worth the price.
