+nearlywild Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) I bought a Garmin Vista Cx and now I want to protect it. I like the looks of the neoprene cases and I've seen two styles so far where the side buttons are covered and not covered. What are the pros and cons of the neoprene cases? Does any one else have a protective case that you love? Also, I was looking at the Invisible Shield screen covers but I didn't see one on their website for a Vista Cx. Am I over looking it or will one for another model also fit a Vista Cx? Edited March 27, 2007 by nearlywild Quote Link to comment
jonners Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Shieldzone list a screen cover for the Legend Cx, which is the same form factor as the Vista Cx. When looking at neoprene cases, make sure to do a search on this forum for previous discussions. People have had problems with clear screens getting stuck fast to invisible shield protectors. I also found the Garmin Vista Cx case does not fit well - the top edge of the case is half covering some of the side buttons, and interfering with the joystick. The window aperture also obscures both sides of the screen by about 5mm each side. Basically, the case is the right size for the old b/w etrex form factor but Garmin have not redesigned it for the etrex Cx model form factor, which is shorter and wider than the old unit. Some people have no problem with this, but I found it to be a frustration. Quote Link to comment
bellapacifica Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Check some of the LOWEPRO cases out,I use the "REZO 40" for my eXplorist 500 LE and it fits like it was made for it.Also has a pocket on the front to to store extra batteries and SD cards.Best of all it was only 15$.Cheers!
