This is a nice cheap multi-purpose electronics holder. It expands to fit your device and is a good option if you like the flexibility of being able to use it eventually for a different GPS or other electronic device. The outside is stiff enough that it would take a good amount of pressure exerted on the case to damage any LCD screen inside. The sides and top are open, so this is not a good option if you're worried about collecting dust on a seldom-used device. The case expands to fit the device, and looks like it would comfortably fit devices that are up to 4.75 inches long and anywhere from 2.75 to 3.25 inches wide and .5 inches to .9 inches thick. The extra slot in front hardly opens and it would be hard to fit anything more than the shape and thickness of a few credit cards inside it. The "frustration-free packaging" is easy enough to work with that most people should be able to open it with just their hands. For the price and flexibility, it seems like a pretty good deal. AmazonBasics Carrying Case for 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Units (Black)
The basic case, as suggested by Amazon, is not a good choice for th Garmin 855 GPS.
The case is too tight and frequently will turn itself on while struggoing with the fit.
If left in the case for a few days, it is almost impossible to remove.
I did some searching online for a case to protect my new Garmin 1350LMT. The price was right and the reviews mostly positive, so I went with it. When it arrived, I was immediately impressed with it's appearance. Looks and feels very well made. Then when I put the Nuvi in, it fit PERFECTLY. Tight enough not to fall out and not TOO tight for removing it. The case is soft and slightly padded, which will serve very well for protecting the screen. I am VERY pleased. Shipped and received as promised. Well packaged. HIGHLY recommended.
The fit is a bit too snug, but it does work. Gives good protection to my Garmin 255W 4.3 inch GPS. However, after using for 9 months (about one trip every 1-2 months), the glue used to hold the straps in the case began to ooze and gets on the GPS case, so I'm downgrading my ratings. I tried slipping the GPS into a tissue, napkin, plastic bag, etc. hoping that would protect it or stick to the oozing glue, but the fit is so tight that the GPS just pushes through the bottom of whatever you wrap it in. I did store the GPS in the case between uses; perhaps not storing the GPS in the case at home might help ... less strain on the straps. (however, it oozed when stored in the middle of a trip, not during a long storage) I picked up a cheap smart phone case to try instead.
Wow- what a great deal on this case from Amazon. I bought 2 of them for my Garmin 1350T and it fits perfectly. It slides in very easily and encases the item completly with no out hang,and looks nice also. Great low price and fast shipping with Amazon Prime!
