Strong, dependable and great build quality, the case was purchased for my Garmin Nuvi 52LM which has turned out to be the best, most dependable and non problematic GPS I've owned. Some nice touches are:
* Rigid outer shell
* Tight weave nylon cover
* Great steel, self locking zipper
* Top and bottom inner straps keeps the unit stable
* High density cushion foam interior.
Occasionally, I'll carry a small external drive in this case, such Passport by Western Digital which makes this case quite versatile for other uses as well. I'm also a fan of the Frustration Free packaging, it's a great alternative to having to use a buzz saw to get those hard plastic product casings off - not to mention they're better for he environment.
Certainly for the price, you'll be hard pressed to find this level of quality at twice the price, let alone under ten bucks. And of course with a PRIME membership you get FREE two day shipping to boot. Making this deal just that much sweeter.
Highly Recommended
Pros:
- It is made of a considerably rigid material (thick cardboard or something like that) and a good quality synthetic fabric coating. If you put this in a confined area where it sits with other items, the rigid material protects the possible damage or scratches that comes from outside
-There is a pocket type separated area where I put the actual device (you may prefer putting notes and other stuff in as well). It is of elastic structure and keeps the device tightly in place so that it does not jump around in the case. Besides I put the device facing outwards and this ensures any additional stuff you put in the case does not scratch the actual gps screen (for me no additional screen protector is needed)
-The interior is quite spacious and the GPS charger can easily be put in that space with all cords and everything.
Cons (nothing major but still something to mention)
-Although it is rigid and that prevents harm from outside mostly, it does not have a soft pillow type buffer zone to minimize the impact so if that item falls from 5-6 feet (like the top of the fridge) the impact may still be bad for the device itself.
-It would be nice if it had a handle for easier carrying.
Conclusion:
My overall impression is that this is a reliable storage for a GPS device. Does the job perfectly for a 5" one and for the quality it is a good value for money. I believe it will last for a long, long time...
Well, on the positive side, I do have to say that the Amazon case is well made, has a special slot inside for the Garmin, and will even hold my charger.
In my case, however, holding the charging cable is not the positive that it might be for other people. My laptop bag already has a slot that I use to hold my charger, and the new charger fits in the slot snugly (the cable is thicker than the old charger's cable), so I don't really need the extra space. Also, the case is not large enough to hold the suction cup and bracket, so I really don't have a need for the space.
The minus is that while the case itself does fit inside my bag, it really takes up a LOT more space than my old case, and does not fit the bag as well as the old one did. For now,I am travling with it for a couple of weeks, and I am trying to see if there are other small items I can store in the case so that I don't wind up wasting the room. Right now, I have mixed feelings about the case, and the odds are that it will go back to Amazon as it does not really fit my needs.
However, I still give the case 4 stars, because if you routinely leave the case and charger in your car, or if you want to store the GPS and charger in one place in the house, this should work well for you. It is sturdy, well made, holds everything securely and is plain, but attractive.
It is well built; has a semi hard shell; soft material on the interior to protect the GPS; zipper works; it has a compartment in its lid and a tub like space in the bottom.
I have a new Garmin Drive 50 with dimensions 5.5 x 3.5.x 1.
The GPS fits snugly in the top compartment and will not fall out; the car power adapter and cord fit easily into the tub bottom.
I have a previous Garmin AC adapter that will not fit in the case due to its AC prongs.
The suction cup is too big in diameter to coexist in the bottom tub along with the GPS in the lid compartment.
The GPS mount once detached from the suction cup will fit in the bottom tub along with the power cord.
This case does what I expected it to; good case to protect the GPS from scratches.
Happy Camper

Es una funda grande, semirrígida con forro suave interno. La mitad inferior es más profunda, suficiente para alojar un navegador de los que llevan el soporte incorporado tipo TomTom Start 25. La mitad superior tiene una parte de tela elástica que hace de bolsillo para los cables.
En mi caso (Tom Tom Go) el soporte/base de carga lo dejo colocado en el coche y me llevo sólo el navegador. En este caso la mitad inferior le queda muy holgada y el navegador va dando tumbos en el interior. Por esta razón lo coloco dentro del bolsillo donde queda bien sujeto con el elástico. Para mayor seguridad he puesto un cojín de joyería en la otra mitad como relleno.
No me convence la goma elástica que une las dos tapas. Entiendo que da seguridad para evitar que se abra completa y se deslice el navegador. El tiempo lo dirá pero quizá termino cortando.
