Digital camera Review: A tough, trendy little case
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a case for my eTrex Vista CX, and couldn't find the traditional Garmin one on Amazon. This one has a kind of 'ugly chic' to it.
This case is flexible but quite resilient. It has a soft, nylon-type fabric lining and a textured rubber exterior. It is very easy to grip, and adds little weight or size to the GPS unit.
The case opens up like a clamshell, with the hinge at the top side of the GPS. The hinge is ~1 inch wide, and looks like it's stretched when the case is shut - this worries me that it will eventually fail. The two halves of the clamshell do not seal where they meet, but they rest together fairly uniformly.
The case is held closed at the bottom end by the lanyard, which is attached to the bottom half of the clamshell by being looped through two holes. It also passes through the end of the top half of the clamshell and is pulled tight by one of those plastic spring toggles. It looks like this arrangement is strong enough to leave the GPS dangling round your neck, but it's too heavy for my liking to do that anyway. I would probably just leave the unit clipped to the shoulder strap of my rucksack and use the lanyard as a safety chain.
The case must be opened up to allow the GPS batteries to be changed, which is easy thanks to the spring toggle.
Included in the package are two little self-adhesive transparent plastic rectangles which are for use as screen protectors. The instructions say to put a few drops of water on the GPS screen before applying the plastic, to allow it to be moved around. This didn't work. The stuff is so sticky that it sticks to the GPS screen the instant that it touches it. Squeegying the protector with a credit card as advised does not make the plastic completely transparent, so it mars the visibility of the LCD slightly. I may end up removing it.
One cool thing is that the rubber case adds enough height to the top surface of the GPS that the joystick/enter button is now recessed. It was a constant annoyance to me that the button would get pressed while the unit was in my pocket and create unwanted waypoints. Hopefully this is now a thing of the past.

Garmin Etrex case provides the ease-of-use of a holster but the protection remains intact while in-use. An extremely rugged, all custom-molded case, provides an easily-gripped textured rubber surface for all kinds of weather. (impervious to water) The outer surface sheds dirt easily, yet it is almost a magnet for fingers! Battery Access: Just Loosen the Lanyard Lock to remove the GPS in 3 seconds! This clamshell case hinges at the top. This 'Living hinge' contains a layer of Polyethylene, to withstand 10s of thousands of openings and very rough use. Backed by GizzMoVest's Lifetime-Warranty against defects and workmanship. Use 'In-The-Case': Ports allow easy access to ALL 6 buttons! The buttons and screen become recessed to protect them and avoid unwanted waypoints. This Protective Case adds just 2 oz to your eTrex. However this case DOES NOT float. The lanyard with safety clip enables the device to be worn around the neck or securely fastened with the Belt Clip. Check out our FIVE STAR vendor ratings!
