I like the case but would have preferred one that had the ability to be used on a shoulder strap (as of a daypack). This case works fine on a belt, but I think that an attachment design which would have allowed use on a shoulder strap would significantly increase its usefulness. Construction is excellent, padding is adequate, fit is perfect. I think that a more imaginative attachment design would have been appreciated by many.

I have bought this carrier case for use with the Garmin GPS-MAP 60CSx.

It offers good padding & protection for the Garmin unit, but note that it is primarily a travel case. I use it to protect the unit from scratches and dents when it is in a bag full of other gadgets. You cannot see the screen or access the buttons when the Garmin is packed away.

If I'm being picky, the case is perhaps a little long & loose for the 60CSx, but then I'm sure it was built to fit any of the other Garmin units which might be slightly larger.

Exact Case Size = 18cm x 8cm x 4cm (Outer Dimensions)

I got this case for my Garmin 60csx and it is working fairly well. For other 60c users here's some thoughts:

1. It is a bit roomy.
2. The thickness of the combined nylon exterior and felt interior is somewhat thin to offer any significant protection in a drop.
3. It is roomy and can probably hold a bit more than just the gps unit...perhaps the cigarette adaptor.

Overall I gave it a four stars, because I was expecting thicker protection.

The product description states "Rino Series". But it is not intended for the Rino 520/530. To close the case you have to slightly bend the radio antenna (not recommended).

Otherwise it is a nice case. One side unzips more than half way allowing easy access to insert/remove the unit. It is not form fitting, so it would work well with anything that fits its demensions. I measure it as 7x3x1.5 Inches. The belt loop would fit a 2.5 inch belt, and is set more towards the middle than the top.

Padding: The other reviews seemed mixed. The padding is certainly think and soft enough to prevent scrapes and scratches from casual contact and dropping. But it certainly would not dampen the shock from a fall, nor prevent cracking from a severe impact.

It's doesn't work for my unit, but it is a nice enough general purpose case that I will keep it anyway.

This case is just way too big for my GPS. After selecting the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx GPS from Amazon, I made sure I selected the correct case by first going to the Garmin website to confirm Amazon's recommendation. Garmin showed this case and part number for the GPS so I also ordered it from Amazon at the same time as the GPS. When I received it, it was obviously way too big. You could probably fit 3 eTrex Vista GPS' in that case. I think Garmin must have determined size of their largest portable GPS and created this case, thinking any and all Garmin GPS' would fit.

I didn't cut into the plastic packaging, so Amazon took it back and refunded the price. I had to pay shipping though since it was my (really Garmin's) mistake. I found a generic bag for the GPS that fit a lot better than the one by Garmin. I gave the case 2 stars only because of the bad fit. Otherwise I didn't see anything wrong or inferior about the product.

I got this for 60CSX. A very nice fit. Very well made case. Well padded and interior is soft so as not to scratch.

The product arrived on time with no problems. A great product for the price. I would only suggest to Garmin to pad the product better which would protect my GPS from shock and possible damage. It should be toughened and suitable for rugged terrain and marine use. I am very with my case though.
Thanks

It fits the unit perfect and has a belt loop to easily carry your unit around.

I bought one of these for my Rino 120 a few months ago. It worked out so well I recently purchased a second for my GPSMap 60csx. Fits both well soft on the inside too.

I was searching for a carrying case for my Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx if you are too, this is a perfect fit for just the unit, with very little wiggle room.
