5.0 out of 5 stars The Best...., October 21, 2006

This review is from: Garmin 76csx 76/72/96 Heavy-Duty CASE in 'Hunter's Coffee' (Search 'GizzMoVest 76' for OTHER COLORS) w/ Webbing Loop, Lanyard, Clip & "Peel & Stick" Screen Protector. - For Garmin GPSMap 72/76/76S/76Cs/76Csx/76c/76Cx/96/96c only.

This case is rugged and shock absorbent. I've had many different cloth and neoprene cases in the past, and they just don't live up to this one.

I don't usually post reviews for products, but this case made it through a summer in Canada and some fall hunting so far. I believe it has "saved" my GPS from damage at least on 4 different occasions. I have been using this case on my Garmin GPSmap 76c since May of 2006.

The GPS fits snuggly (but not too tightly) and the zipper seam makes it easy to remove for battery replacement and connection to a computer for uploads and downloads. The extra long strap fit nicely around my large neck, and beats the heck out of wrist straps (the strap can be adjusted so it can be used as wrist strap if desired). The case provide a non-slip grip as well.

Well worth the price.

The only con I can come up with--It would be nice if a piece of REAL glass were attached over the viewing opening (as it is now there is no covering here) to protect the screen. Those plastic screen covers just don't work for me.

It would be nice if this cover was made for other models as well--as it is now, only the Garmin 72-76 families are included.

This case has an interesting design. There is no clear vinyl window covering the screen like most other cases. These vinyl windows usually scratch and get clouded over time. With this case, you place a screen protector right onto the GPS itself. If it gets scratched over time, it can be easily replaced.

The screen and control buttons are slightly recessed below the case surface which further helps to protect these critical areas. The case fits snug, protects well and is well made.

As far as the Foarm company, one of the clear screens (they send 2 with each case) was slightly damaged in shipping. I called them and they happily sent me extras and refused to take a payment.

If you're looking for a good case, I'd seriously consider this one.

Foarm's product is superior to anything I've seen! I purchased the molded woven fabric case for my Garmin 76CSX and I'm very impressed with not only the protective properties of the case but also the design which allows you to fully utilize all functions of your GPS while the unit remains in the protective case. Don't waste your time with a case that simply holds your GPS and requires you to remove the GPS in order to use it.

ps. The shipping on this thing was crazy fast!!! I think someone from Foarm must've jumped on a plane from CA to PA and threw it in my mailbox!
