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.

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.

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.

This was perfect for my Magellan RoadMate 5045- LM 5" GPS Navigator. It slips right in and protects the navigator from scratches and hard knocks. I wanted a case within a case to protect my navigator, so it wasn't loose in my Case Logic DCB-305 Camcorder Kit Bag and this works great. Nice molded exterior, mesh pockets for exta memory card w/adaptor, and a jersey interior.

I'm a fan of Case Logic products, it seems like they always have a case for what I need that is well thought out and well constructed.

I was looking for a durable portable case for a TomTom XXL 540m GPS and Amazon had this case on sale for 10 bucks. I saw other people had purchased this case for 5" GPS units so I placed an order.

The case doesn't disappoint. It's a firm case (not a hard case), the zipper goes around three sides and looks well constructed. There is a strap on each side that makes it open as a clam shell at about 45 degrees. If you need it to open up 180 degrees, you can cut these straps to make it open fully. The top half of the shell has a pocket which contains a strap and a screen cloth, it runs the full width of the case.

The TomTom xxl 540 fits in it nicely with a small gap between the gps and the edges of the case. I put the TomTom in screen towards the bottom because the lining looks non scratching. I put the car charger in the pocket in the top half. The fit is snug but not high tension. If TomTom just made the cigarette power plug a bit skinnier it would be a perfect fit but as it is, you can find a position for it that'll fit ok in the case along with the GPS.

Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, it'll house my TomTom for years to come.

I purchased this Case Logic GPS-6 case for my 4.7" Magellan 4700 unit and overall I am satisfied with it.

Positives: The case is good looking, very sturdy and comes with a couple of extras - a smooth, well-made strap and a microfiber cloth for cleaning the GPS screen. The inside of the case has a nice red interior and contains a built-in "net" that is presumably for the storage of GPS accessories.

Negatives: The case is a bit too large for just a 4.7" GPS. If you don't fill the case with other accessories, you can expect a lot of wasted, empty space making the case overly bulky. One potential problem I can see is that if the GPS isn't secured in the case, it could rattle around and possibly get damaged

I would only recommend this case if you can get it discounted (or free) as a "combo" deal with a GPS unit. Also, before you buy, check to see if your GPS unit comes with a padded slip case (the 4700 does) since that might be enough meet your needs.

This case definitively fits larger gps. The will move around a bit as the case is a little big. I put mine in the elastic pouch and it holds it well. It is semi hard so it helps limit damage. There is no extra space for you power adapter but that is not a big deal for me. I just wanted protection when I do air travel and need my device for ground transportation. It was the only case I could find that would fit my Mio Moov 500, so I am satisfied. It is built well with a nice soft liner.

Great case. I have purchased products from Case Logic before. Fits my 5" Navi. Tough to get a power cord in the case, but I'm OK with that.

The case is well constructed out of black Nylon. Zippered opening opens wide enough to slide the TomTom 2535 5" GPS unit nicely into the soft pouch protecting the unit and screen. The case is not designed to hold the charger or windshield mount, however this is not an issue for me as I wanted to protect the GPS unit itself.

I recently bought a new GPS, a device which has dramatically effected my life, in my ability to navigate both my driving and walking life. Unless the GPS can actually live on your car (neither secure from theft nor allowing you to use it to its greatest potential)there is a definite need to protect it as it travels with you.

The Case Logic GPSP-6 Professional GPS case solves many problems simultaneously. First it provides excellent protection for the device. Carrying it around without a case would serioulsy increase the risk of damge should you drop it, will certainly increse the likelihood of scratching the screen, and shorten the life expectancy of the device. While it provides strong protection for the GPS, it is also light weight, atttractive and extremely portable. Function and Form at its best.
