Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Carrying Case for GPSMAP 60 Series
Customer Review: Works for my purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this to keep the dust off and to provide a slight cushion when I strap it to my kite buggy on the dry lake bed. Put 160 miles on the buggy with the GPS and case; The only dusty part was the exposed parts. Washed the case in cold water, good as new. Wiped off the gps, good as new.
The hard usage of the jogger button is from the friction of the button and the clear plastic. I hope that they will eventually slide more easily. I'm considering a little 600 grit sandpaper on that portion of the clear plastic.
Yes, access to all ports on the back is blocked. A case with access to all the ports would be like swiss cheese, full of holes. Not really a big deal.
Customer Review: Does its job
Summary: 3 Stars
The case fits snug, just like the one I had for my Legend. Working the buttons isn't too hard. The toggle on the 60csx doesn't always go where I want it even if the case is off!
The only drawbacks seem to be that you can't mount the GPS in the car holder with the case on, access your input or power ports and feeding the lanyard through is a pain. If you don't need to replace the batteries frequently or download information into the GPS unit, the case does a great job of protecting it!
I have gotten into the habit of not using the case unless I know I am heading into bushwacking country or will be climbing someplace it is likely to get scraped or dropped.
Customer Review: Must Have
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this carry case for the Garmin 60 Cx, it is a "must have" item if you plan to do anything with your handheld GPS OTHER than mounting it to the dashboard of your vehicle. I carry my GPS in my coat pocket, so the screen would eventually get scratched up without this carry case. The only complaint that I have with this carry case is the fact that you can NOT hook your GPS unit up to your PC via the USB port without first removing the carry case. This is only a MINOR default!! The $20.00 investment is much cheaper than a new GPS when your screen gets scratched up so badly that you can no longer pick-up the fine details on the screen.Customer Review: Very Economical and Protective!!
Summary: 4 Stars
When I bought my Garmin Map 60 GPS unit, I also purchased this fitted protective case. I am grateful to have it on my Garmin considering it has protected it from briar scratches while bushwacking, and dings while climbing over rocky areas while geocaching! The tight fit enables you to work all the buttons with ease. The only reason why I didn't rate it a "5" is because due it's sleek tight fit, it is a pain in the butt for me to slip it off to get to the plug for the USB wire to download GPS geocaching waypoints from the internet. Otherwise this is an outstanding case for the money, and I highly recommend it with the Map unit it fits!Customer Review: Good but not as expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Quality and materials are excellent. It provides good protection to the GPS unit. The problem is when the protective case is holding the unit, it applies a little pressure over the keys, particularly on the "central" key, causing dificulties to use it. I don't know if the the 60C, 60Cx, 60CS and 60CSx have different sizes, but it seems the case doesn't fit perfect to a 60CSx unit. It is not compatible to use with the cigarette light adapter, external antenna nor USB cable. In general terms, good quality and good protection for your GPS unit but Garmin should work on it to correct this problem.
