This well made case will really protect your GPS!, May 2, 2010
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Length:: 2:27 Mins
I am a big fan of portable GPS receivers. I have owned close to a dozen units over the years and currently have about six. Some I use some for hiking or geocaching and others I use when driving or traveling.
After choosing a model and mounting accessory that's right for you the next important decision is finding a protective case that's going to hold everything that you need to take with you. There are plenty of nice cases made for hand-held GPS's but when it comes to automotive units it's much harder the find the right one.
I really like this case from Lowe Pro. It's big enough to hold your GPS, the power cord, a window or friction mount and a few other small accessories yet is still small enough to travel with. I would prefer one a little smaller but then it probably wouldn't hold every thing. I really nice feature is that the exterior pocket (the one that holds the GPS) is padded on both sides for extra protection.
I thought that a video review would help potential buyers to get a better idea as to whether this case would work for them or not. Thanks!

Best GPS travel case I've found!, April 22, 2010
I frequently travel for my job and bought a GPS to save money, as Hertz charges $12.99/day. I was looking for a case to hold the GPS unit, friction mount (Garmin sandbag style), car charger, and USB cable. This case holds all of it perfectly! Other cases I tried had advertised all these items would fit, but I felt like I was going to break something if I forced the case shut....they were just to cramped. This one shuts easily with all the items in place. The GPS unit fits neatly in a separate well padded compartment, complete with a microfiber cloth to clean the screen.
If you are looking for some tiny bag to fit in a purse, or small laptop bag, this is not for you. If you are looking or a relatively small bag to store everything you need for the GPS, look no further...this is it!

Finally all GPS accessories are in one place!, April 21, 2010
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I will admit I own another Lowepro GPS case and thought it was the best. However, after using it for months I soon discovered it did not have the room I needed for my GPS and accessories. I own several GPS's but my favorite one that I travel with is Garmin nüvi 255 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator . I take this on my long distance trips. On the actually GPS is a bracket to place on the windshield mount. With my other bag I did not have room for the bracket and thought I lost it since I placed it elsewhere. I ended up even buying another bracket that cost me $15. When I received this bag I was happy at the size of it! I was able to place my GPS inside which is protected by a microfiber built in cloth. I was also able to place the bracket I was misplacing, the windshield mount, and also the auto power cord. I also bought the Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount over the holidays and I have that in the bag too! I still have room for other stuff but I am so happy everything I need for my Garmin is now in one place.
I have owned this bag for several weeks now and have been taking trips down South on the weekend. Instead of wondering where each part of the GPS is located I can now just grab the bag and everything is where it needs to by. Granted the bag is not tiny but knowing I can place all my accessories in it without rebuying them because I thought I lost them is priceless to me. I highly recommend this if you have more than a GPS to protect and have a lot of accessories like I do.
