I bought the carrying case to use with the Garmin Street Pilot Deluxe package. With the case you can snugly fit the Garmin Street Pilot unit alone. However, when trying to also put it the cigarette adapter/speaker, both don't fit without having the zipper on top partially opened. Also, don't even consider trying to store the bean bag mount in the case.

I do like the fact that the bottom of the case has a protective cushion so the unit can be stored face down.

I think it would be nice if they had another sized bag -- one which can store the unit, adapter cable, plus the bean bag mount all together. This would be the ideal size for those who want to carry the unit and all the accessories at once.

Review update: The original review is for trying to hold the Street Pilot III with accessories. The case does fit the newer smaller Garmin units. I was able to easily fit the Garmin Street Pilot 2620 with it's cigarette lighter adapter and remote control. I also was able to add the external power adapter too -- but this was a bit tighter fit when the adapter was added in.

This case is tiny and will barely hold the GPS unit with the base removed. It's cheaply made and would be over priced at $10 let alone the Amazon cost of $30 +. You're better off with a paper bag!

I bought one of these Garmin StreetPilot carrying case and was very disappointed, as this case provides no interior foam padding to cushion any external force. I ended up returning this case and bought one of the Gilsson's Neoprene Carrying Case for the Garmin StreetPilot III, Quest and 2610 GPS receivers. I really liked the Gilsson case, you ought to consider it. www.gilsson.com

Thanks for all your reviews. Since most folks thought this was too small and difficult to use, I looked for another option. Case Logic makes a small camcorder bag that fits the Garmin Streetpilot & base nicely (I don't have to disconnect the GPS from the base for it to fit. There's also plenty of room for the power cord and USB cable (and a bean bag if you use one). The case has a little handle on top and it comes with a shoulder strap. It cost me $12. Look for a bag that is 8" x 5" 4".

I fail to understand why a company would market such an exceptionally good navigational assistant (Garmin 2720), only to offer the poorest possible accessory in which to carry it. I would be OK with purchasing a good aftermarket case for $20 that filled the basic need of a place to tote your GPS and GPS accessories, but forget this piece of junk. How they can sell a bag that can't even fit the stuff that comes with the unit is truly beyond me. I can't even squeeze my Garmin auto power cable/speaker into this dinky thing, and nevermind the FM receiver and antenna. In no way do I recommend purchasing this item. I already made a far better carrying case. I took a plastic zipper-lock freezer bag, threw in an old T-shirt for padding, and wrote the word GARMIN on it with a black magic marker. Works great and everything fits inside.

The case is too small for the Street Pilot 2610. When I travel I need the Street Pilot and the cord to plug into the lighter. also need the "sand bag". It won't fit. Buy a bigger case.

This bag is fairly well made. Here's the problem - which has been detailed in numerous other reviews. IT IS A LITTLE TOO small.

It fits the unit (barely) but forget any accessories, such as the USB cable, and no way will it hold the bean bag mount. The bean bag is the same size as this carrying bag, so it won't fit in it.

Price a Kodak camera bag or a Samsonite camcorder bag - for about the same price you get a better bag, with more padding and some compartments, so you can carry your GPS and its accessories and a few other things (a digital camera or your wallet or cell phone).

The carrying case is so ridiculously small that it barely fits the Garmin Street Pilot, let alone the cord and any accessories. When you pay over $400 for a piece of delicate equipment you 1) expect to get a case with it or worst case 2)have the ability to purchase a case that truly protects the device and isn't a cheesy piece of junk. Garmin should be ashamed.

I wish I had read the reviews here before following the manufacturer's claim, which was reprinted in the product description on Amazon. The good news is that it's well made. The bad news is that, contrary to the claim that it holds all your GPS cables, brackets, and the unit itself, it's only good for carrying or storing the GPS unit itself. Also, the price is excessive considering that it doesn't do as claimed. Do yourself a favor - and spare yourself some disappointment while saving some money - take your GPS to an electonics store (CompUSA, Best Buy, etc.) and buy a good padded camera bag which will hold everything for about 2/3 the price.

In the writeup for the Garmin carrying case it says that it has room for the StreetPilot series GPS as well as the necessary cables. I was shocked at how small this case was when received. I can fit the GPS unit in it but not all the cables and the ones I could get in I had to cram into it. If you are looking for a carrying case that will carry all the components of the streetpilot GPS this is not it.
