This case is absolutly perfect for my Garmin Nuvi 255W (with room on both sides while in the case if you had a slightly wider gps, but fits snug for height). Much better quality than what pictures appear, and great for the price! (I paid 9.50). Nice and sturdy, and would definitely protect my garmin if I dropped it in the case. It is not hard like plastic, but rather has a synthetic fabric feel to the outside. This case would not fit any other cords, so if you're looking for something to hold your charger or stand/mount, this would not work. I'm just going to keep them seperate in my arm rest holder. Plus, the side pocket inside the case is perfect if you had any gas cards, coupons, or some spare just-in-case cash. It's a nice place to keep everything together. The zipper is high quality, and has a rubber covering on the part that you zip so it is more comfortable and won't scratch anything around it where it is being stored. The case includes a wrist strap (just like photo) and the ring/hook attached to the case to attach to the strap is sturdy and will definitely not break. Also, in the inside along the SD card holders flap, it has small elastic bands that would hold a ~4 inch-long pen/pencil if you ever needed a place to store one. Since it is usually wise to keep your gps with you when you leave your car (incase somebody were to break in and steal it from your car in a parking lot or something) having that pen holder is nice if you were to also include a shopping list in the side pouch. This is a really well thought out design for a gps case.

Overall, I would definetly reccommend this case to anyone I knew with a gps that would fit it. It is the perfect size (small, compact) and sturdy enough for protection. Great size for getting out of the car and throwing it in my purse to go get groceries/shop. Totally worth it, no regrets!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Best choice?, March 30, 2010

This left me wondering if maybe there was a better choice. I will say that the case holds the GPS unit, the car charger and the USB cable; as a matter of fact I think the case seems bulky (measures LxWxH = 5"x6"x3"). However, in spite of that bulkiness, I am disappointed in the fact that I have to bend the cord on the car charger very close to the charger plug, a notorious shorting point for an electronic power component, and it makes me worry that down the road I might have problems with the charger because of the way it has to be stored in this case.

4.0 out of 5 stars I would like it a bit smaller--or larger, February 6, 2010

I got this case on impulse when I bought a Garmin 255W. (Amazon is so good at promoting impulse buying.) The case is fine, and well made, as the other reviews have stated.

Trouble is, it's just a bit bigger than it needs to be to fit a standard Garmin wide-screen GPS (do I need those little pockets for storing 3 memory cards? not really), but it's too small to hold the GPS AND the car power supply cord. Just a little bit bigger and the cord would have fit in there.

If you bought a Garmin such as the 255W--you know that Garmin provides a soft fabric case, so if you don't need a semi-hard case such as this one, save your money.

Still, this is a fine little case for the money.
