GPS Pouch

[Guest genegarris]

Has anyone made a pouch for their GPS? I have a Garmin eTrex and am very afraid that the screen will end up super scratched without some protection.

 

I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on what to use as a GPS "glove"

 

I have a neoprene carrier for my cell phone and it works well protecting the phone.

 

Any suggestions?

Most units either come with or can be upgraded with a belt carrier. My Garmin 12XL came with one. It's just a typical gps shaped pouch with a zippered top and a belt loop for carrying on your hip.

 

The 12XL is a very rugged, waterproof unit, so I rarely need to enclose it, but another option those of us in the rainy PNW use to protect various instruments, is to place them in a ziplock freezer baggie to protect them from the elements and from scratches.

I am almost thinking of getting some faced neoprene and making a roll of my eTrex so that with the addition of some velcro I can use the GPS and when not viewing the screen I can close the flap.

 

This is what I am thinking about right now...maybe I'll get a better idea soon. I'll post that with whatever I find.

There is an official eTrex carrying case. My friend just had his delivered and it's pretty durable.

 

Amazon has it for $14.95. It's called the Garmin Carry Case for Etrex and Summit (link to Amazon). The plastic screen cover is nice and they keep the buttons accessable on the sides.
