User Reviews about ARKON GPS-9043K GPS Protective Carry all Case
Nicely compact yet sturdy case for my 3.5" GPS unit and accessories. Tight fit but it works, and the price was very good compared to similar items. -- a good deal
This is the perfect carrying case to carry and store my Garmin Nuvi, the stand and all of the connection cords. It is not big, yet it is light and protects the items well. It is not a case to carry on your coat or pants pockets. I realized that to temporarily disconect the GPS from the car and to keep it from getting stolen that I needed a smaller, more compact case in which to carry it separately, which I also bought. It is also wise not to leave the stand and connections hanging in the car because someone could see it and break into the car looking for the GPS. -- The carry all case that I was looking for
I primarily bought this case because I needed something to easily contain and move my Garmin nüvi 1690 4.3-Inch Portable Bluetooth Navigator with nüLink! Services, the Garmin Portable Friction Mount and the USB cable/spare Transcend 16 GB microSDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS16GUSDHC6E cards easily between vehicles. I also do a fair amount of air travel for my job and I hate to cram all of this in my laptop backpack.
I thought about generic camera cases, etc. but was looking for something more designed for this purpopse. The case has a pocket (softly lined, expandable) for the GPS, but I ordered the Garmin 4.3-Inch Carrying Case to protect the screen. Both fit great in that pocket. There is a small zippered compartment in the cover that easily fits the USB cable and a spare memory card. I should note an annoyance with the design though. I've noticed that the overlapping 'cover/lid' has to have the material folded up to easily access the dual zippers.
Now onto my setup. The friction mount, mounting horn/bracket, power cord and the GPS take a bit of thought to fit in. This case is on the small side, but just right. I attached a velcro strip to the power cord of the adapter to make things tidy (you can get a roll from your local home improvement store... nice to have around if you hate cable clutter like I do). You can fold the "petals" of the friction mount up and fit the cord and bracket towards the front. Nice and easy. I suppose if you were using one of those window mounts that there would be plenty of extra room.
The fit and finish of this case looks nice. I am not a fan of the "ARKON" logo emblazened across the front, but that is a small issue.
I have yet to travel with this case, but I think it will hold up nicely. It appears to be made of ballistic nylon with 4 small rubber feet on the bottom. I gave it 4 stars because I haven't traveled with it. It is great to move things between my cars. Might update the rating later when I have had a chance to check out it's durability through the TSA gauntlet at the airport. -- Nice case for a Nuvi
Exactly what I was looking for. Holds all the accessories, GPS, Cords, and more. Great purchase. -- GPS Carry all Case
