Customer Review: Outstanding design, build and material quality
The bottom line: this case for the Garmin Legend/Vista HCX GPS units is an order of magnitude better than any other case on the market. It is one of those very few products which combines intelligent design with outstanding material and build quality.
So what is so great about it?
1. It is significantly more protective than the cases from Garmin and other third party vendors.
2. It fits the Legend/Vista HCX perfectly–absolutely like a glove.
3. It is minimalistic and aesthetically clean. The reviewers who have called it ugly must have very unrefined taste–it integrates with the Legend/Vista in a way that makes it look like an intrinsic part of the GPS, which could never be said about the Garmin or other third party cases.
4. It actually improves function of the Legend/Vista by blocking extraneous impacts to the front toggle switch.
5. It is rugged and will last much longer than neoprene GPS cases.
6. The way it opens is clever and functional. The lanyard serves a second function as the clasp to this clamshell type case, and is a logical addition to the stainless clip on the back–allowing both convenient access to the GPS and security.
All in all, for anyone who appreciates truly outstanding design (even in something as pedestrian as a GPS case), who notices all the little refinements which make something pleasant to use over the long term, and who is difficult to please, you’ll love this thing. Ultimately, this case will allow the Legend/Vista GPS units to be more useful out in the field where they were meant to be used.
One other key point: this case uses 3M film to protect the GPS screen. The manufacturer says to wet the screen with water and then use a credit card to gently squeegy the water from under the film. THIS DOESN’T WORK. THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT IS TO USE SLIGHTLY SOAPY WATER AND THEN SQUEEGY IT OUT–JUST AS EVERYONE DOES WITH THE PROTECTIVE 3M FILM USED ON THE FRONT OF EXPENSIVE AUTOMOBILES. IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOT ALLOW SOAP FOAM UNDER THE FILM, OR TO GET FINGERPRINTS ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE FILM BECAUSE BOTH WILL REDUCE CLARITY AND MAKE THE GPS SCREEN MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE.
I write VERY few product reviews, but when a product is truly outstanding, I think it deserves praise. This GPS case is definitely in that category.
Customer Review: Extrex GPS casing
Product arrived in an air sealed bag that prevents the case from being crushed during mail. Case is of good quality & fits like a glove and performs as it should.
Would have liked other colors though. Generally a very good product!
