bubnme Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I am looking for ideas for a case to store this unit. Some of the cases that are made seem to be a little big for the extrex models (010-0117-02). Any ideas close to this case would be appreciated. Quote
bubnme Posted December 24, 2007 Author Posted December 24, 2007 I guess a better question would be if anybody uses this case for their extrex? Quote

+phiscocks Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I use a Mountainsmith Exposure II camera case. It fits great. It has a small outer compartment that I keep an extra set of AA batts and a single AAA maglite in. I picked it up at a local sporting goods store for $14.

+rustyspinner Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 I use the foarm case and find it to be excellent. It really protects, and is lightweight. It isn't exactly the best looking case out there, but I think you would have a hard time finding any better. Quote

Are there color choices for this case or the standard "Artic White" that I see on Amazon? Quote
+Low Bat Posted December 30, 2007 Posted December 30, 2007 I like this holster: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=9623 It's actually designed for the original eTrex series which is slighly narrower and a tad bit longer. With a little stretching this holster will fit the current eTrex series without being overly snug. There is another problem to consider; the rubber battery cover on the eTrex series tends to get worn down on the material used to line the inside of this holster. Other than that, this holster has a good quality velcro flap and a strong steel spring belt clip. Quote

I'm planning to write up a full review with pictures, but in short, I like it. Apparently it only comes in white, though, which is unfortunate. I like the black look better. Quote
bubnme Posted January 3, 2008 Author Posted January 3, 2008 I just bought this case from Amazon. Here is the link of the case... what do you think? http://www.amazon.com/Civilian-Capsule_G-3...cm_cr_pr_sims_t Quote

It fits the Etrex Vista HCX perfectly and I think anybody might want to consider this case if you want a hard case protection like I did. Quote
