Digital camera Review: Good investment
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 2 cases because of the positive reviews. They fit my Garmin Summit HC like a glove and very rugged. I can see where the hinge could be of concern as other reviewers have pointed out but I don't see that as a show stopper. As for the design and color it works for me. It will protect your investment nicely. I would purchase again. Garmin eTrex Summit HC Handheld GPS ReceiverDigital camera Review: Nice product - to high a price
Summary: 3 Stars
A good product. I would have purchased elsewhere if I had found a vendor that was cheaper. Fit and finish good.Digital camera Review: Nice--Damn Ugly
Summary: 4 Stars
Maybe that is a good thing, the yellow of the Venture really pops. Seems to do what it's suppose to, fits snug and all but you do have to take off the extra clip one would use with a motorcycle mount, that can be cramed into the standard eTrex case. I have both kind of favor the standard but this one offers more protection.Digital camera Review: Outstanding design, build and material quality
Summary: 5 Stars
The bottom line: this case for the Garmin Legend/Vista HCX GPS units is an order of magnitude better than any other case on the market. It is one of those very few products which combines intelligent design with outstanding material and build quality.
So what is so great about it?
1. It is significantly more protective than the cases from Garmin and other third party vendors.
2. It fits the Legend/Vista HCX perfectly--absolutely like a glove.
3. It is minimalistic and aesthetically clean. The reviewers who have called it ugly must have very unrefined taste--it integrates with the Legend/Vista in a way that makes it look like an intrinsic part of the GPS, which could never be said about the Garmin or other third party cases.
4. It actually improves function of the Legend/Vista by blocking extraneous impacts to the front toggle switch.
5. It is rugged and will last much longer than neoprene GPS cases.
6. The way it opens is clever and functional. The lanyard serves a second function as the clasp to this clamshell type case, and is a logical addition to the stainless clip on the back--allowing both convenient access to the GPS and security.
All in all, for anyone who appreciates truly outstanding design (even in something as pedestrian as a GPS case), who notices all the little refinements which make something pleasant to use over the long term, and who is difficult to please, you'll love this thing. Ultimately, this case will allow the Legend/Vista GPS units to be more useful out in the field where they were meant to be used.
One other key point: this case uses 3M film to protect the GPS screen. The manufacturer says to wet the screen with water and then use a credit card to gently squeegy the water from under the film. THIS DOESN'T WORK. THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT IS TO USE SLIGHTLY SOAPY WATER AND THEN SQUEEGY IT OUT--JUST AS EVERYONE DOES WITH THE PROTECTIVE 3M FILM USED ON THE FRONT OF EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILES. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOT ALLOW SOAP FOAM UNDER THE FILM, OR TO GET FINGERPRINTS ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE FILM BECAUSE BOTH WILL REDUCE CLARITY AND MAKE THE GPS SCREEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE.
I write VERY few product reviews, but when a product is truly outstanding, I think it deserves praise. This GPS case is definitely in that category.
Digital camera Review: Perfect-fitting 2nd skin. Top-quality. Different
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. This is different.
Tough but tactle feel on the outside, but fairly rigid.
Last year I bought one of Foarm's Garmin 76 cases.
It was similar to this one on the outside, but softer overall.
Plus the 76 case had a zipper. This case closes clamshell-style.
This case seems great for point-impact protection, but probably
does not float like the 76 Case (have not tried that).
The fit is awesome. The Belt clip works great and obviously won't break
(metal). It can take an extra effort to get it on your jeans, but hey,
that just means it is not going to get stripped off you like with plastic belt clips.
The Lanyard clip is plastic, but plenty sturdy enough for that purpose.
The case weighs almost nothing, and half of that must be in the clip!
Came with a couple of screen protectors. Cool.
