Amazon.com Product Description
The Nav-Pack is an innovative mounting device for most GPS units, and doubles as a carrying case when not in use. Contouring to the top of your dashboard, the Nav-Pack works on most uneven or textured surfaces. By combining the physics of weight distribution and anti-skid material, it keeps your device firmly in place. The Nav-Pack provides a stable mounting base for your portable GPS or other electronic devices, and an adjustable strap snaps into 4 different positions to give you an optimum viewing angle.

When not in use, you can close the Nav-Pack and zip it up. The padded case protects your device for lightweight portability or storing out of sight (e.g., under the seat or in the glove compartment) for added security. A shoulder and wrist strap are included for carrying convenience.

Slips off dash
I have a Garmin 255W and wanted a holder that would keep the GPS shaded on long trips while setting on the dash. The weighted Garmin dash mount I have was very stable but provided no shelter from the hot sun. This looked like the answer and I got it. I had concerns that this would muffle the voice coming out of the back of the GPS but it does not diminish the sound at all. On a local trip of five miles today, this Nav-Pac slipped off the dash twice when accelerating from a full stop. My dash is plastic and not very slippery but this holder just does not have enough surface area to keep from slipping off, unlike my Garmin dash mount. I do like this Nav-Pack and I will put a piece of Velcro on the bottom of the Nav-Pack and a piece attached to my dash. This should solve the problem of slipping off the dash but I'm not thrilled about a piece of Velcro stuck to my dash. I suggest this Nav-Pack ONLY if you want protection from the sun on your GPS and also using Velcro, unless you want a GPS falling into your lap...
UPDATE: Wife found a silicone potholder at Target. Its thin as a silver dollar, translucent and about 12" square and very flexible. Works great when on dash and Nav-Pak is placed on top of it. No more sliding now...

Decent bag/mount combination solution
WARNING: This product asks you to adhere a Velcro patch to the back of your GPS. Doing so may inhibit your ability to easily switch back and forth with a different kind of mount. The Velcro is what holds the GPS inside the Nav-Pack, so it's necessary. I nearly returned the kit immediately when I discovered this; instead, I was able fashion an acceptable solution by reworking an old bracket for a different, unused mount I already had and applying the Velcro to this. This allows me to use the Bracketron Nav-Pack while still able to convert back to the TomTom flexible goose-neck suction-cup windshield mount. This solution may not be feasible for most other people.

Some reviewers complain that the Nav-Pack slides off the dash. I think it is likely a function of the dash slope & dash materials. My car has a textured dash that actually slopes downhill to the windshield. I have so far not had a problem using the Nav-Pack either at the far side up against the driver's side windshield pillar, or in the center of the dash with nothing else around it.

The Nav-Pack is a bit bulky and the real downside is that it adds further visual interference around the GPS, about 1/2 inch on each side, plus the vertical rise from the dash. At the center of the dash I found this unpleasant, but it was acceptable when all the way to the driver-side pillar.

For the around-town, in-your-own-car person this product is of debatable use, but for a traveler who flies in and rents a car elsewhere frequently, it's a good combination package.

Not as advertised.
Sorry I bought this case. Did not work exactly as stated. First time used on the dash it easily slid onto the floor. Another example of a product not performing as stated in the ad.
