I especially like that I can let the GPS sit in the bottom part of the case while the top part protects it from the direct sunlight, helping to see the screen even if I reduce the brightness to save battery. It took a lot of searching to find the perfect case for my Garmin nüvi 550, but finally I found it here, at Amazon.As we use the GPS more for hiking (geocaching) than for driving, it is important to protect it with a case that is sturdy, but easy to open, easy to take along. I have been using the case 6 months, hiking with it generally once a week - no signs of wear yet.
I'm so glad I got it. I love this carrying case. its tough exterior is good for someone who tends to drop things.
The zipper has a loop that is covered in a plastic/rubber strap cover. This hard shelled case has a little Garmin logo tag sticking out one side. The Nuvi 500 Garmin GPS fits perfectly under the elastic strap inside the one cover and the outside texture is a rubbery cloth that prevents sliding around on the seat.
A GPS device is too expensive to leave unprotected and this case does the job. Highly recommend this item. This case is well padded to protect the GPS device, yet is still small enough to put in a cargo pocket, a purse or hang on a belt loop. We use our Garmin for both traveling and geocaching, so it is handled a lot.
One of the best cases to protect and carry expensive electronic equipment that I have ever owned. A must addition for 500 or 550 owners.
