 Cheesy case, not a hard shell, way overpriced. March 6, 2008

I ordered this case along with my Navigon 7100 and had not yet seen it at retail. If I had, I wouldn't have bought it -- even at half the price.
First, as mentioned by others, this is not a true hard shell case; it's more like a lightweight molded foam. It's perfectly fine for purse or briefcase, but then so is a simple leather or vinyl case. (Unlike some others, I don't find that the zipper scratches the device, perhaps sloppy manufacturing leads to varying case measurements.) I don't think this case would offer any significant protection if the GPS were dropped. Also, the faded gray-blue color and the orange lining doesn't exactly scream class. Navigon makes a premium GPS line, it's a shame they couldn't come up with a hardshell case that also looked premium.
 Great protection and sharp color contrast December 1, 2007

This is a great case. It offers excellent protection for my Navigon 7100. At first I was disappointed that the case did not open fully --- once you unzip it, side straps keep the case from opening fully. However, in using it I have realized that this is a great feature. You can't accidently drop the gps when you open the case. You have to reach in and pull it out.
In my travels recently I have found it to be a quick way to take my 7100 with me without a lot of time fumbling with the case to put it in. Prior to this case, I had been putting the gps into a cloth bag with a pull string on it. Now, once in this Navigon case, which looks pretty sharp with the orange lining, I slip it into my pocket and have no concern about the 7100 being very well protected.
Excellent product and design. Thanks Navigon.
 Zipper scratches 7100 December 7, 2007

The zipper inside is exposed and scratches the 7100. I've had my 7100 for about two months and not a mark on it without the case. In sad irony one week with the case and it is all scratched up from the case! (reviewers of the 5100 case have noted the same glaring problem)
Before I got the "official" case I checked several nintendo DS (not DS lite) cases at CC. They fit well and I don't think they will scratch up the 7100 like this one does.
Also not the description says this is a hard case. It is semi hard while it will protect the screen within the glove box, it looks like it will do little to protect against even a one foot fall to street.
On the ergonomics, it is clumsy to remove as it doesn't open all the way like Nuvi official or third party cases.
Hard case works great for most 4.3" units February 8, 2008

This is very nice for protecting your 4.3" GPS. I ordered it for a Navigon 7100, but ended up with a TomTom GO 720 - which fit perfectly. Protects the unit from scratches and falls.
NOT WORTH THE PRICE PAID!!! March 1, 2008

OK, I took a chance in spite of the price and some not-so-favorable reviews. Got burned. The case is NOT a hard shell in the true sense of the term. It's some kind of plastic and it seems thin and quite flexible, sort of like the cardboard backing on a pad of paper. Maybe this "feature" helps absorb shock if the case is dropped, but it sure doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. The zipper closure works poorly in that it doesn't move around the corners of the case easily, but it seems like it is "breaking in" and working a bit better now (about 5 days of usage). And, holy cow does that thing STINK! It must be off-gassing like that old kind of carpet made out of recycled plastic soda pop bottles! What a weird odor! It has persisted for several days now, but fortunately it seems to be lessening. On the plus side, it looks nice and my Nuvi fits in it well. All for just $19.95! Probably cost $.25 to produce; should have sold for about $6.95 at most.
