Garmin 010-10349-00 Garmin 010-10349-00 Belt Clip for Etrex Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was having trouble with my Garmin e-Trex receiving the satellite signals when I carried it in a pouch or in my pocket. Clipping the Garmin on my belt solved the problem, It now works accurately all the time. The clip is sturdy and well made and the battery cover fits like it should. Highly recommended.

Garmin eTrex Holster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used this holster for my Garmin Vista C for over two years now and this is an excellent solution, particularly for hiking. The unit fits snugly into the case and the flap protects it from damage on the trail. Yet when you need to look at the unit, it's quick and easy to pull out with one hand. It's also a comfortable way to carry the unit in a backpack, car glovebox, etc. The case has solid sides so the unit is well-protected, even if it gets knocked about a bit. You don't have to worry about it getting dinged up while in this holster.
I have no idea what the previous reviewer is talking in saying this case doesn't fit Cx models because this holster absolutely DOES fit the eTrex Vista HCx. I recently ordered the Vista HCx and, because I was so happy with this case with my older Vista C, I ordered another one. Later, I saw that review and was quite worried about it. But it had shipped so there was nothing to be done but to wait for it and see what happened.
I received the HCx and holster from Amazon today and the Vista HCx slid into the holster exactly like my older Vista C did. Sure the fit is tight. It's supposed to be. And yes, you have to give it a good tug to get it out, but that's just because the sides and back of the Vista are made of rubber so it grabs onto the material of the holster. Folks, that's a good thing (unless you like the idea of watching your expensive GPSr falling out and bouncing over the side of a cliff)!
I can also tell you from my experience with the older one that the holster and eTrex adapt to each other and they go from tight to nicely snug very quickly. Yet the case never lets the GPSr actually get loose so you never have to worry about the eTrex slipping out.
Anyway, take it from someone who has used it for a couple of years now. There is no better way to carry your eTrex (new or old) than this. Now if Garmin would just make one of these for my GPSMAP 60CSx, I'd be all set.

Lowepro 3.5-Inch Navi Handheld GPS Carrying Case (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This carabiner clip case is styled after the chalk bags rock climbers use and is marketed towards outdoorsy types and people on the go who may not always have both hands free. The vertically-oriented chalk bag hangs off your belt loop or other strap and the drawstring opening allows you quick, one-handed access to your device. Instead of fumbling with a zipper, you can just reach down, stick your hand through the elastic opening and pull out your unit. I prefer carabiner-style bags over other kinds of bags (like shoulder straps) because of the convenience and outdoorsy feeling I get wearing them, almost like a side arm. I don't have to fish through my pockets or backpack when I need the device.
Soft and cushiony, the neoprene bag protects your device against scratches, accidental drops, and other mishaps. One potential flaw, however, is with the way the carabiner is attached. The clip itself is metal and very strong, but where it meets the bag, it is not sufficiently ruggedized. Instead of a riveted eyelet or a thick strap of ballistic cloth with reinforced stitching, it is a thin piece of nylon material sewn into the neoprene skin (see my photos in the gallery). It does not look like it can take much punishment. An accidental yank or a snag against an object (like a door handle or hook) might cause the stitching to rip. This is only really of concern in outdoor environments where trees and branches might be sticking out, but since this bag is marketed towards such users, I am flagging it as a consideration.
Also, as mentioned by other reviewers, the spare battery compartment is too tight. It fits 2 AAA batteries perfectly, end to end, but not 2 AA batteries. They have to be crammed in there and forced closed.
Overall, an attractive bag that is convenient if you like the chalk bag design. It also fits iPods, digital cameras, and other mp3 players. If you prefer a zippered, non-carabiner version, Lowepro has the Lowepro 4.3-Inch Navi Sleeve GPS Carrying Case (Black).

Garmin eTrex Handlebar Mount Bracket Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using an E-Trex for hiking, kayaking and biking pretty much since it came out, and I'm still pretty much enamored of it. This adapter certainly makes it easy to use the E-Trex on your bike, but I do have a few reservations about it.
The adapter plate consists of a replacement for the battery compartment cover on the E-Trex and an adapter that clamps on to the handlebars with a screw. Remove the stock cover, slap on the replacement and it's ready to clip on the bike. If you intend on only using the E-Trex on your bike, this works pretty well. If you plan on using your E-Trex for more than one sport, you may be changing covers back and forth regularly, since the replacement cover doesn't fit easily in a shirt or PFD pocket,
While the regular battery compartment cover seals via a rubber coating over the entire cover, the cover that comes with this adapter uses a skinny O-ring that's supposed to sit in a groove on the cover. The problem is that it pops out every time you remove the cover, whether to change batteries or just to switch covers. It's easy to drop the O-ring and it's a bit of a fussy job to get it back in the groove. Once sealed in, it seems waterproof enough.
Since my main use for my E-Trex is kayaking, I finally decided to stick with the original cover and gave the adapter away to a friend. If you plan on using your E-Trex exclusively on a bike, though, this is definitely the way to go.
