+emgi Posted October 24, 2009 Posted October 24, 2009 Further to the recent discussions regarding the Oregon - I've recently picked up one after agonising over the vast array of choices out there. Very happy with mine so far, even if the navigation routing is sometimes baffling! Anyway, if anyone is looking for a cheap but good quality case, this Crumpler one is currently very cheap at £4.99 inc delivery and is a perfect fit for the Oregon! There's space for an extra card in the mesh pocket and 2 spare batteries. The divider inside also protects the touchscreen. Available in cream and red! Currys Quote
+The_Buffs Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Thanks for that - I've just ordered one. They are now in the sale at £2.99 including post! Quote
+Bambography Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Thanks for that! Crumpler, and cheap too - Perfect Edited October 31, 2009 by Bambography Quote
+smstext Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 many thanks the only case i could find for the device was £20 so will order one now!! Quote
+grand-moff Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 Cool thanks for that I've just ordered myself one. Quote
+weston wanderer Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I've ordered one too - many thanks for the link! Quote
+burtsbodgers Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Why didn't i take notice of this thread earlier. Whilst negotiating a barbed wire fence on saturday i managed to drop my 300, which landed face down! However it wasn't pretty when i picked it up, it landed on a stone and the screen had shattered! Garmin now want £107 to exchange the unit for a refurb one. Quote
+karrimore Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Just had mine delivered today, thanks for the heads up. Bargain of the year at £2.99 inc postage. Fits the Oregon perfectly inc spare batteries etc. Cheers. Quote
+Bambography Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Just had mine delivered today, thanks for the heads up. Bargain of the year at £2.99 inc postage. Fits the Oregon perfectly inc spare batteries etc. Cheers. Hear Hear! Ours arrived yesterday and they fit nicely. The case is slightly bulkier than I thought from the photo but as with any Crumpler, its really going to protect the unit, hold the spare batteries and all the SD cards with different maps on! Thanks for letting us all know! However it wasn't pretty when i picked it up, it landed on a stone and the screen had shattered! Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in! At least they'll give you a refurb! Any change of an accidental damage insurance claim? Quote
+currykev Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Mine was delivered tonight by DHL courier. How'd they make a profit on that? Quote
+emgi Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Pleased to hear some of you are also finding them useful - shame for me the price dropped after I posted! Grrrrrr! x Quote
+weston wanderer Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Mine came today via my neighbour. who had taken delivery. I ordered it Monday and it was delivered by DHL on Tuesday. Excellent service, product and price! Quote
+smstext Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 mine arrived at the start of the week, from what ive heard it costs about £1.50+ for each package sent via DHL so how they make a profit springs to my mind, but who cares when we all got a bargain!! Quote
+talkytoaster Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Another option for a suitable inexpensive case for an Oregon is a hard case for a Sony PSP I use one and it works fine, probably better protection than the crumpler case too. Regards, Martin Quote
+The_Street_Searchers Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I purchased the official Oregon one from Amazon for around £13 and i am really pleased with it. Quote
