Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin eTrex Carrying Case
Customer Review: Quality product, but not all that useful.
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good, quality accessory from Garmin. I think it's best feature is the belt-clip. It does a good job of keeping dirt and scratches off your already durable eTrex, too; and makes it not so YELLOW. (which can be good or bad) My complaints are that the button holes become misaligned occasionally and make it a little harder to push the buttons. I think if the case fit a little tighter, it would help address that problem. Also, the plastic cover over the screen can cause extra glare. The eTrex is rugged enough that this is an unnecessary accessory, unless you need a belt-clip or want your GPS to stay bright and clean.Customer Review: Not quite right for the Etrex Vista...
Summary: 4 Stars
This case is a great way to carry my Etrex Vista unit around in. It protects the screen with a plastic film, and has button holes that line up perfectly down the sides for my GPS unit. The belt clip makes it easy to carry while hiking as well. My complaint with the item is that there seems to be no easy way to use the "click stick" when it's in the case. Also, the Vista is mostly rubber on it's exterior, and sliding it in and out of the case is sometimes an excercise. I still recommend it if you are planning on carrying your GPS around and want to keep the screen safe.
Customer Review: Good, but could be improved
Summary: 3 Stars
The carrying case material is good, with good terminations. I use my Garmin unit while rowing in the Paraná Delta near Tigre, Buenos Aires, and I find it provides good protection for the occasional splash of water. I have also taken it along in dusty hiking trails, and it serves its purpose very well.
The only thing that I wish were different is that the case requires that the receiver is [at least partially] removed from case to connect it to the USB cable (to download log files) or to the 12VDC power cable (when using it in the car).
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: Excellent Case
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently ordered this along with my new Garmin eTrex Venture CX. It was an excellent purchase. It clips nicely on my pockets, backpack, and it fits nicely on "curtains" of commercial airliners (most airlines allow you to use GPS receivers once you reach cruising altitude). I can't imagine using my GPS without this case.
My only complaint is that it's hard to see the screen without the back light on in some glare situations.
