Flawed Design, January 1, 2010
Over the years I have found Case Logic to be a dependable, go to brand. Usually the folks there do a bang up job of designing and manufacturing durable, cost effective tools for my gear. When it comes to my new Case Logic GPS6, the product designers at Case Logic totally missed the boat on this one.
The manufacturer's website and many of the tron retailers boast a similar claim that this model will store 4.7" through 5.3" GPS units and their accessories. With dimensions of 6.2" x 2" x 4", there is no way this product can safely provide storage for both my Magellan Maestro 4700 and its car charger, etc;. At most, maybe a couple of SD cards could make the ride with my GPS system. Its a no brainer that this product is not the tool for people like me that switch back and forth from vehicles.
Case Logic loses style points for the installation of double zippers and the elastic extensions. The latter is to keep the case from opening all the way. The concave bottom takes up valuable interior storage space. Unusual for Case Logic gear, this product comes in as average at best. Definitely not the product for my Magellan and accessories. Perhaps its better suited for a large bodied portable hard drive.
Like other models before it, the GPS6 is made of molded EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) and sports an interior mesh pocket. On the outside, the faux perforated leather strip and satin finish nickel logo are okay touches. A removable wrist strap and microfiber cloth are also included. The manufacturer tags on to this product a 25 year warranty. Case Logic also boasts a better then usual, informative website. A toll free customer care number is available Monday through Friday 7am - 5pm MST.
Compared to other Case Logic products that I have purchased, the GPS6 case comes in as average at best. The main fault lies in what the designers forgot about. ACCESSORY STORAGE.

what genius designed this???, December 27, 2009
There is a piece of elastic that keeps the case from opening all the way....in fact, it almost keeps it from opening. You have to pry it open to get the navigation system out as the case only open an inch when fully unzipped. If you just cut the elastic, it's fine, and will open all the way. The case is also a bit bulky - I would have rather had the case that I use for my external hard drive as it isn't quite as bulky but still accomodates a 4.7 inch navigation system.

Wrong Choice, December 26, 2009
The product itself is excellent. Unfortunately it is the wrong choice for the Magellan 4700. The car power plug is large and doesn't fit well in the case. You need to use some squeeze force in order for the zipper to close. I am looking for the iConcepts medium hard case which has more depth. I use the smaller version for my Model 2000.
