It's a basic rectangular padded case - about 8 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches, single compartment, with a 3 inch belt loop on the back. The package says this case fits a Meridian GPS and 4 AA batteries. It does, but the batteries are just loose in the bottom of the case. The Meridian is pretty rugged on its own, but this case is just the thing to keep the screen from getting scratched up. And it is nice to have spare batteries in the same place as the GPS. Also, the case is roomy enough so you could probably slip one or two folded map printouts or geocache descriptions in it as well.
On the other hand, because it has all that room it is a little bulky to wear on the belt. If that's what you want to do then you might look for a smaller generic case instead.

I find it difficult to remove the GPS (the rubber covered buttons on the GPS drag on the carrying case interior) in the field and the case is too soft; it's easy to inadvertently turn the GPS on by leaving against something with it between the body and the "something". After I purchased this carrying case and found a number of camera cases at the local drug store camera counter that, while not "form fitting" for the GPS, are a much better choice. After ordering the carrying case and paying the shipping costs I'd have to say the it's not a particularly good value, all things considered.

This carrying case is well-made and quite durable - it fits on a belt properly too. The one rather strange thing about it is that it seems a little big for the unit it is intended for. It could have been made smaller and still fitted the Meiridan GPS with room to spare. It's also a bit expensive for what you get.

this was a suitable case for an early model magellan gps. both are sitting on the shelf since new technology makes this of little interest

very nice, easy to see and clear voice directions, no frills nothing added that no one ever needs, it does what it is supposed to, refurb as some scratchs, no more than you will put on with use, good buy comes with carrying case holder and charger

I needed a soft case to store my Magellan Color in. Although this gps is no longer made, the case is perfect and can be used for any of the newer editions of Magellon products.

It holds the Meridian Color and a much needed spare set of batteries.
