Summary: Very Economical and Protective!!
Comment: When I bought my Garmin Map 60 GPS unit, I also purchased this fitted protective case. I am grateful to have it on my Garmin considering it has protected it from briar scratches while bushwacking, and dings while climbing over rocky areas while geocaching! The tight fit enables you to work all the buttons with ease. The only reason why I didn't rate it a "5" is because due it's sleek tight fit, it is a pain in the butt for me to slip it off to get to the plug for the USB wire to download GPS geocaching waypoints from the internet. Otherwise this is an outstanding case for the money, and I highly recommend it with the Map unit it fits!

Summary: not for wet enviroments
Comment: This is a great product for a walking around dust cover. However, if it becomes wet it will fog up on the inside and render the gps unreadable. other than that it is a great protective case. still glad i bought it. I just do a lot of canoeing and it doesn't suit my purposes. The gps is waterproof, i wish the case was.

Summary: Not very well thought out
Comment: I bought this case for my Garmin 60CSx over a year ago. A month ago I lost my 60CSx. I really miss it, but not this case. The plastic cover reduces the sharpness of the display and can create glare. It also made it hard for me to push the buttons on the GPS. Several times, while I was climbing fences or up rocks, it fell off of my belt (that's how I lost it).
I replaced my 60CSx with a Garmin Colorado 400t, which I like much more that it's predecessor. I also bought Garmin's hard carrying case for it. Now that is one well thought out design! It is made for the bare unit to just set in it, completely enclosed. There is no plastic covering the screen or getting in the way of using it's features. It has two methods of mounting and both are more secure than the clip on this case.
I don't think that the 60 series would fit into the Colorado case, but Garmin might want to think about making one like it that would. It's much better than the case they are offering here.

Summary: Does the job
Comment: Well made case. Protects the GPS very well, as with any case makes it somewhat harder to push buttons, and see with shiny clear vinyl window. All in all a good case that fits well.

Summary: Works for my purpose
Comment: Bought this to keep the dust off and to provide a slight cushion when I strap it to my kite buggy on the dry lake bed. Put 160 miles on the buggy with the GPS and case; The only dusty part was the exposed parts. Washed the case in cold water, good as new. Wiped off the gps, good as new.
The hard usage of the jogger button is from the friction of the button and the clear plastic. I hope that they will eventually slide more easily. I'm considering a little 600 grit sandpaper on that portion of the clear plastic.
Yes, access to all ports on the back is blocked. A case with access to all the ports would be like swiss cheese, full of holes. Not really a big deal.
