Best of the best (as usual)!!, October 30, 2006
This review is from: Garmin 76csx 76/72/96 Heavy-Duty CASE in 'Special Ops Black' w/ Webbing Loop, Lanyard, Clip & "Peel & Stick" Screen Protector. - For Garmin GPSMap 72, 76, 76S, 76Cs, 76Csx, 76c Cx, 96, 96c (Aviation) only. Molded Protection MADE IN THE USA. (Electronics)
This is my third Foarm GPS case. The first (rubberized cloth) houses my Garmin GPS 72, the second (black rubber) protects my Garmin 76Cx, and this one will hold my new Garmin GPS 76CSx. If I could, I would give this product 6 stars.
These cases are unbelievable. Geocaching in Canada this summer I took a tumble on the rocks--the case protected my GPS as I watched it "bounce" 3 times on the boulders. Not a scratch on my GPS and it still worked like a charm. These cases allow you to grip your GPS so that it is next to impossible to let it go. They are easy to clean in the rare case that they do get dirty (they are definitely NOT dirt magnets like the others).
I've had the Garmin case and numerous neoprene cases--they are good BUT, the Garmin case has to be opened and the GPS removed to use it. The neoprene cases gather dirt fast, and the clear plastic face covers "yellow up" rather quickly. The GPS is difficult to put in the neoprene cases, and difficult to remove, and they just do not provide the protection.
I love the long lanyard--no more wrist straps--for those of you who prefer the wrist strap, the lanyard can be shortened up and used as such.
The cases are made to "last a lifetime" and I am sure they will outlast the life of the GPS receiver I put in them. In fact my last GPS purchase was based on the fact that I could get this Foarm case to put it in.
I spoke with Richard at Foarm last week and he informs me that they are in the process of making a case for the Garmin eTrex--hip hip hurrah to you for that move. Hope you make one for the Garmin GPS 60 series soon as well (my wife has this unit).
If you can afford a GPSr, you can't afford NOT to have the GREAT protection these Foarm cases offer in protecting your investment.
The plastic lens covers provided just don't work for me, so I do not use them--the thickness of the case will protect the glass screen from damage in most cases--it has in all cases so far for me!!

A Thick, Beefy case, yet very Lightweight. and Grippy., December 21, 2005
This review is from: Garmin 76csx 76/72/96 Heavy-Duty CASE in 'Special Ops Black' w/ Webbing Loop, Lanyard, Clip & "Peel & Stick" Screen Protector. - For Garmin GPSMap 72, 76, 76S, 76Cs, 76Csx, 76c Cx, 96, 96c (Aviation) only. Molded Protection MADE IN THE USA. (Electronics)
Not your ordinary case. This thing is made with some sort of molded laminate (not fabric)
but still absorbs shock.
Great fit (Screen aligns perfectly).
superior protection, floats and dries quickly.
Very grippy, heavy-textured rubber, yet lightweight.

Best GPS case made, May 1, 2006
This review is from: Garmin 76csx 76/72/96 Heavy-Duty CASE in 'Special Ops Black' w/ Webbing Loop, Lanyard, Clip & "Peel & Stick" Screen Protector. - For Garmin GPSMap 72, 76, 76S, 76Cs, 76Csx, 76c Cx, 96, 96c (Aviation) only. Molded Protection MADE IN THE USA. (Electronics)
I have a Garmin 76s, I have used other cases they always seemed to slip away from the viewing area of the Garmin,and they also had a clear plastic window that looked dirty. The Foarm case solved these problems it really fits well and the stick on screen protector is crystal clear, makes it a pleasure to use my GPS again
