Garmin Universal Carrying Case 010-10117-02


good little case
I like the case but would have preferred one that had the ability to be used on a shoulder strap (as of a daypack). This case works fine on a belt, but I think that an attachment design which would have allowed use on a shoulder strap would significantly increase its usefulness. Construction is excellent, padding is adequate, fit is perfect. I think that a more imaginative attachment design would have been appreciated by many.
I use it with the Garmin GPS-MAP 60CSx
I have bought this carrier case for use with the Garmin GPS-MAP 60CSx.

It offers good padding & protection for the Garmin unit, but note that it is primarily a travel case. I use it to protect the unit from scratches and dents when it is in a bag full of other gadgets. You cannot see the screen or access the buttons when the Garmin is packed away.

If I'm being picky, the case is perhaps a little long & loose for the 60CSx, but then I'm sure it was built to fit any of the other Garmin units which might be slightly larger.

Exact Case Size = 18cm x 8cm x 4cm (Outer Dimensions)
Adequate for the job
I got this case for my Garmin 60csx and it is working fairly well. For other 60c users here's some thoughts:

1. It is a bit roomy.

2. The thickness of the combined nylon exterior and felt interior is somewhat thin to offer any significant protection in a drop.

3. It is roomy and can probably hold a bit more than just the gps unit...perhaps the cigarette adaptor.

Overall I gave it a four stars, because I was expecting thicker protection.
