Fantastic Case for Garmin GPSMAP 76CS
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!!!

Gilsson GPS Carrying Case
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.

Fits perfectly
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.
