User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Poor design makes this carrying case a bad buy
While this carrying case appears to be well constructed, its side panels are too tall for a 760. Had someone actually pushed a Nuvi into the original design, they would have either reduced the height of the side panels or cut slots in them to allow for the on/off slide switch. You have to be very careful when inserting the GPS into the case that the side panel doesn’t catch the on/off switch and turn the GPS on. If I had it to do over, I’d buy a zippered camera case from Wal-Mart.

1 Star Doesn’t fit Nuvi 500/550
Contrary to what it indicates in the listing, this case does NOT fit a nuvi 500/550. The 500/550 are too thick to fit into this case.

5 Stars great
Fit is perfect. you need this to travel so the GPS is safe ,Great product

5 Stars Handy little carrying case
I bought this for my husband, along with a Garmin Nuvi and a friction dashboard mount. He loves everything, and finds this little leather case so handy to slip the Garmin in and pop in his briefcase. I bought this as a package along with the Garmin and the mount…good purchase. I highly recommend this case.

1 Star carrying case
The carrying case is not worth the money. If the gps was bought for a car you’ll probably never use it.

5 Stars Garmin case
We found the case to be convenient. You just have to remember to put the Garmin in the case “face down” so you keep your fingers off the top switch when time to take it out.

1 Star Pretty, but your GPS will fall out of this case
I own two Garmin Nuvi’s a 670 and 765. This particular case came as standard equipment with the 670. The first one allowed that 670 to drop out of the case if the open end was ever pointed anywhere near down. Gravity pulled that GPS out of there many times. I lost the original equpiment one, and replaced it with a newer version of this case. The GPS fit was a bit more snug, but the GPS could still slip out.

If you always carry your GPS with the open end of the case between parallel and vertical to the ground, this is a gorgeous useful case. If you are like most people, and sometimes let things go random directions, well your GPS will land on the floor.

In addition, the little open pouch you see on the front of this unit, absolutely nothing fits inside there. I think you might get a piece of paper to fit in there, but certainly no SD cards (unless you want this hideous bulge on the outside of the case). That is certainly a major waste of fine leather.

One positive thing about this case, the leather is nice.

Look for the Garmin carrying case with the flap. That one will never ever let your GPS fall out.

5 Stars GARMIN nuvi 255 case
This case is a perfect fit for the Garmin nuvi 255. There is no need for a strap to hold the unit in the case, as it is a nice snug fit. Perhaps a “belt loop” would have been nice, but if you are looking for a case to protect your GPS when you put it in a purse or glove compartment this one will do the job.

2 Stars Overpriced, but what choice do you have?
I’m giving this item 2-stars mainly based upon price. At the time of my purchase, this item is over $12.00. It’s a small case that is made in China (what isn’t these days) which probably cost around $1.00 to produce. I which other companies would come out with alternative cases. The only one I find is from Case Logic and is over 10-inches long, so it will not fit in many glove compartments, though you can put the power cord inside it. I purchased this case simply because I didn’t see another option.

I find it amusing that on the back of the package is written “Durable case protects your GPS and keeps all accessories together. KEEPS ALL ACCESSORIES TOGETHER??? I guess someone in China wrote that also and it got mixed-up in translation.

4 Stars Fits the need – snug fit – watch the power switch!
What can I say – it is a case. My Nuvi fits snugly inside and looks fine. Not sure it affords much protection in terms of cushion, but it will save the screen from other objects in the pocket or my wife’s purse.

Only annoyance: you really need to watch how you put the Nuvi in or you will inadvertently switch it on. The switch side needs to be by the opening.

5 Stars nuvi replacement cable
Great product. I lost the cable that came with my nuvi 750. This one is the perfect replacement. I would buy again.

5 Stars Great Item
I needed this Garmin 010-10747-03 12 volt Adapter Cable to replace one that stopped working. I have an older street pilot Garmin C530. I would recommend this replacement to anyone. The price was very reasonable and it arrived in one day.

5 Stars No substitute for this adapter
We lost our original cable and tried a department store replacement that plugs directly into the mini-usb port. It worked fine for a while but after a time began to fit less securely. The result was that the Garmin would blink on and off while we were trying to use it. I think that this would always be a problem with that type of connector – they are just not made for in-car use.

This original connector snaps into the window mounting bracket securely and so should never have the problem that the after-market chargers do.

4 Stars Works on c550
This charger works good; it fits snug though so make sure you pull it out gently, that’s how I broke the first one

1 Star Wrong item sent…but satisfied with outcome
I had to open the package to see the connector which was NOT what I ordered. I contacted the vendor who said because I opened the package I couldn’t return it. I replied that they had my money and I had a connector I couldn’t use. They reconsidered; I returned item and got refund. Shouldn’t have to go through this if item isn’t the correct product.

1 Star Cheap solution to holding an expensive GPS
Garmin really dropped the ball with this GPS mount. A 50 cent part to hold a $350 GPS. I’ve broken at least 4 of these now. Each one has had the tab break off. It’s useless after this – certainly not worth the $10 people want to charge you for it. Disappointed that this is the only solution out there.

1 Star Cheap mount
I’ve broken the locking tab now on two mounting brackets (one from the original set and a replacement bracket). The plastic tab is too fragile to be used as intended. Unfortunately, until either Garmin redesigns the bracket or I stop using my Garmin 705, this is what I’m forced to used.

1 Star this sucks, my garmin edge 305 fall of mi mtb in the middle of the woods,,,,good by to US$350,,,,

1 Star Handle bar mount doesn’t handle much stress – don’t waste your $
I bought this replacement mount in early April. Less than 2 months later, the clip on the mouht that holds the GPS to it broke, just like the original.

They may make a decent GPS, but this doesn’t say much for Garmin’s accessories. A real rip-off.

2 Stars Garmin Handle Bar Mount
I only bought this item, because the original one doesn’t resist the vibration during the rides. If you ride on an irregular floor (even for a road bike, after hundred miles (less de 1.000 miles)the base brokes. So you have to fix it using several “no-originals ways” waiting the new HBM arrives.

4 Stars Does what it’s supposed too
seems to hold securely as I have used it without problems on a snowmobile, which is a torture test for sure

1 Star Tried it twice, but its not worth it
I am road biker, never go off road. I purchased the mount and was happy at first since it was easy to attach and adjust. It went well for a few rides and then suddenly after a hard, but still normal, bump, the upper bracket just broke off, causing my GPS to slide violently over the tarmac. The plastic seems to be very cheap stuff, not at all rugged. Because of the lack of alternatives I purchased the mount again, this time I stabilized it with rubber and tape. Went off to the moutains, it went well for a few days and about 400KM but the on a downhill, a bump, and off my GPS went. Causing me almost to crash

The GPS survived (though with really deep scratches) and the mount was damaged again. Garmin should give a dime or two about their customer in the after-sales market, it may not be the profit margins they are used to, but a happy customer may be worth it in the long run.

5 Stars GPSmap 60 bicycle mount
This little piece of plastic works great! It really should come with the unit when purchased though, and the topo maps should also. I went over the bars while in South Dakota but the GPS stayed attached just like it should. A good piece for sure!

4 Stars One Inch Handlebar Mount?!?
This mount comes with a handlebar mount designed for handlebars 1″ (or less) in diameter. I have 3 bikes in my stable and the only one with handlebars this small is a 1950 Schwinn!

You will have to purchase the optional large diameter rail mount from Garmin to fit this on a road bike.

5 Stars A perfect accessory
If you have the Garmin GPS 60 and a bike, you should get one of these things. You already know all the benefits of the Garmin and this mount makes the ride even that more enjoyable.

The mount stays steady on the handlebars once it is mounted and the attachment that links to the mount is easy to use. Even with my fat fingers it comes off.

I did need to purchase a replacement for my original though since my bike tipped over and broke the attachment. This just taught me to take of the GPS before trying to load my bike on the rack. Which I should have been doing anyway.

A very nice add on to a very nice GPS unit.
