 Fantastic Case for Garmin GPSMAP 76CS August 15, 2005
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I ordered this product for my new Garmin 76CS and while waiting for the shipping I pondered the scenario that perhaps the case was only useful for "storage" given that the design of the case completely covers the quad helix antenna that is on this particular unit. Given the sensitivity of the antenna, i.e., you lose reception when you place your hand over the front case of the unit-I reasoned that the case would more than likely shield some if not all satellite reception...rendering it useless for protecting the unit while in use. FORTUNATELY I WAS WRONG!!! I am getting very strong satellite reception with the case on the GPS unit; however, this may not be the case with other models, due to the nature of each antenna.
As far as longevity goes, the case is made out of neoprene (which I have had bad luck with in thinner layers) but the material is much thicker than what I was expecting so this is a plus. My only concern is the seam (threads) on the clear vinyl map/button Window and the neoprene material itself, as this would probably be the most likely place to rip. Only time will tell. Until then I am very pleased with this case from Gilsson Technologies!!!

Although i have just received this pouch, i'm sure over time it will give a little. Tight fit, but still offers access to buttons on face of garmin map 76CS
Gilsson GPS Carrying Case July 4, 2006

I'll reiterate comments from several other reviewers.
It is a pretty nice case, but has some minor flaws. First, it is a very tight fit for my 76CSx. Somewhat of a struggle to get the GPS in the case. It does provide a clear view of the buttons and display. Second, I too worry about the seam where the window is sewn onto the fabric. Due to the tight fit, there is a lot of tension on the seam and one has to be extremely careful when trying to get the case to slide over the GPS. Third, a storage pouch for spare data cards would be great.
With some minor tweaks this could be an excellent case. Will have to see how it holds up in use.

Good case.. but carabiner on wrong end July 13, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had no problems with the reported tightness of the case. It simply fits snugly, which is as I'd expect. (Though it may take a moment of fiddling with the case to center the GPS display in the case's plastic window.) The display is reasonably visible through the plastic window, and the buttons aren't too hard to press. I noticed no satellite reception issues that would be attributable to this case.
My only complaint with this case is that the carabiner is on the wrong end of the case, so that when I attach it to my backback's shoulder strap or belt, the unit is upside-down when I flip it up to look at it. To compensate for this, I have to hold the unit sideways and tilt my head at an awkward angle. Pretty silly.
Fits perfectly December 7, 2007

After reading other peoples reviews of GPS Cases, I decided on this one as it allows you to view your GPS screen with the cover on. It has already paid for itself in protecting my GPS unit from major damage as I took a fall with it in my hand. It fits perfectly. I would buy this one again.
