Got my set in the mail after reading other online reviews saying that case fits 4.3 inch widescreen Garmin nuvis, including a video of someone putting their unit in the case. All you have to do is pull the elastic closure over the button (duhhhh!!). The entire unit is covered and protected. The case is hard on all sides and protects from impacts on all sides. With the wall power cord and a longer USB cord than the one the unit came with and the international interchangeable plugs, I'm VERY happy with my purchase!

According to the description this travel pack should fit the larger Garmin...the case does NOT fit. Also I wanted to exchange it for one that does but the company does not have an exchange program. I cannot return it to Amazon and have to go through J&R Music World...which has been responsive it's just a hassle. The description was misleading and should have never said that the case fits 4.3 nuvis because it DOES NOT. It's cost me shipping both ways...UGH!

I bought the travel accessories package because I would be travelling in Italy, but found I didn't really need the converter/charger since the rental car's cigarette lighter outlet charged it fine (four hour battery life off the power source, too). And if you are using a netbook/laptop computer overseas, the usb port may charge it, too, so you don't need the travel pack's usb/usb-mini cord. Use the one that comes with the GPS. Also, I noticed one of the reviews said the case included in the travel pack (which was best part of the package for me, it turns out) was too small for the larger (4.3") GPS units, but please note that the fold over flap is not meant to cover the entire unit but simply secure it in place, and this is done by firmly grasping and pulling down on the elastic loop cord to secure it to the front metal button. It's a strong, secure cord, so be careful; you could crack a fingernail!

I purchased this particular GPS for a trip to Europe. It has a pedestrian mode and Europe maps. I purchased for $9.99 apiece maps for two cities I would be doing extensive walking. This meant buses and subways were included in the routes. This is a great way to travel.

Item functions as described. Fits my Garmin 465T perfectly (elastic stretches). A satisfied consumer. Hmmm! I wonder what others are missing?
