Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is the perfect Garmin Nuvi case. I have examined and tried out just about every GPS case in the stores (Best Buy, Staples, Walmart, Target, etc) and every single case fell short of my expectations and/or functional needs for protection, quality, and portability.
I purchased this Lowepro Volta 30 from Amazon.com just by visually examining the product online and decided that this could be the case that I have been unsuccessfully looking for. When it came in the mail, it was absolutely the perfect Garmin Nuvi widescreen GPS case there is, period. At least from the ones I could research and personally try out with my Nuvi.
This case fits the Garmin Nuvi 755t GPS perfectly (virtually tailor made fit) without the slightest wiggle of the GPS once it is inside and zippered shut.
The outer case is a hard shell with a soft and smooth touch (for ultimate protection) with a quality smooth functioning zipper which zips around the entire case. There is little chance for the GPS to fall out when the zipper is opened, because there also is an intergral nylon flap hinge inside which holds the Nuvi in place when it is opened.
Oh, did I also mention the case has a belt loop to slide through your belt (which lies flat) if you don't care to slip this very slim case into an inside jacket pocket or just about any pocket for that matter (it is that slim)!!
If your needs are for an excellent protective and very slim carrying case for only your Nuvi GPS and memory cards to carry with you for street Navigation, restaurants, to work or just if you don't feel safe leaving it in the car when you leave your vehicle, this is the case for you.
I never carry my accessories with me everywhere I go anyway as I only need my GPS for one car. So I leave the the mount, cradle and power adapter hidden away under my seat or trunk etc and just grab the Nuvi GPS Unit and toss it in this case and I am on my way in a few seconds. The case is literally the same size as my Nuvi. Just big enough to enclose the Nuvi and give it all the protection it needs with it's soft touch hard shell, completely around all sides an edges for the Unit.
Trust this review if all you need is the perfect case to remove just your Nuvi GPS from the car to travel around with you in the the most slender and convienient case for this purpose. The last I looked, it is on sale now (12-13-09) on Amazon.com for $17 dollars with free shipping. I paid $24 and would pay that price again in a heartbeat. I've seen similiar portable style cases in Best Buy for $40 that are inferior in protection, and quality and were a sloppy fit.
By the way, Best Buy sells Lowepro products, but doesn't seem to carry this "Lowepro Volta 30" (not to be confused with the Volta 10 or the Volta 20 which are smaller cases). The Volta 20 might be perfect for the smaller screen GPS units.
One last comment. This Volta 30 fits the Garmin Nuvi 700 series GPS units perfectly, so be careful if you have a TomTom or other GPS, which seem to be larger than the Garmin 700 Nuvi Series. Some of those units might not fit. That is how perfect this case fits to the Nuvi line. Which makes it so convienient to take with you everwhere and just throw it into one of your pockets or slip it on your belt.
I hope this review narrows down your search for the perfect portable GPS case, since I wasted much time in trying and buying and returning cases that just didn't fit my needs perfectly.
With all this searching, shopping and reviewing a simple $24 GPS case, it might seem that I have too much time on my hands. Not at all. I am just a perfectionist and will go that extra mile to get what I want and be totally satisfied without regret and just thought I could save other shoppers with too much time on their hands the time I have expent searhing and shopping around. You don't want to know how much time I spent researching the GPS's until I found what I believe is the perfect Unit for me (Garmin Nuvi 755t). Good Luck.
Happy shopping and have a Happy Holiday. There is also a small pocket on the inside cover to store a memory card or two.
