GARMIN 010-10723-02 Carrying Case For Nuvi Series Travel Assistant Reviews

• DECENT CARRYING CASE...

  
  By A2RUUTTFJQ7CBH on 2007-05-17
  The Garmin leather carrying case is a decent travel compainion and a perfect fit for the Nuvi 370, 360, 350, 310, 300 and also the new 270, 250, and 200.
  
  After purchasing the new Garmin Nuvi 200, and quickly realizing it didn't come with a carrying case, I purchased this product. The quality black leather make this both appealing to the eye and durable however this is a slide-type case, so it is constantly open on one end. A nice feature would have been some type of zipper or velcro closure so the Garmin GPS unit could be fully enveloped within the case. It has a snug fit so I haven't had any problems with it slipping out yet but I do find myself constantly checking to make sure my Nuvi 200 is properly placed inside the case.
  
  I would have preferred a little more padding with it too. The case is made up of thin leather on all sides with very little padding to protect against accidental drops. It would have been nice to have some more cushion for those clusmy moments we've all expercienced.
  
  This case seems to be designed more for protection against scratches and to shield the LCD screen against accidental scrapes.
  
  Still, I give this carrying case three stars because of it's price, duarability, and sleek leather appearance.
  
  
  
  

• Case is INCLUDED with Nuvi 350.

  
  By A1NADKSHMF3S6K on 2007-07-18
  The Nuvi 350 (and possibly the other Nuvis) comes with a leather case, so you don't need to order it separately.
  The 350 also comes with both car & AC chargers and dash & windshield mounts.
  All these accessories that come with the Nuvi have worked fine. The leather seems to be of good quality, and the Nuvi slips into it easily.
  
  

• sturdy case with snug fit

  
  By AJ2I4B1BCNR8P on 2006-11-03
  This case is very nice leather, with a firm (probably plastic) insert that protects the scrren. We had one shattered screen, so this seems like just what the Dr. Ordered. The fit is snug which is great, so the unit won't slip out even if you hold it from different angles.
  
  

• Garmin Carrying Case

  
  By A26KL32L1UGQI1 on 2008-01-30
  This case is too small for a Garmin 200W. "W" stands for wide. The case should not be recommended for a "wide" Garmin. I returned the item.
  
  

• buyer beware

  
  By A23DJCDAQDSL1J on 2007-12-17
  case was recommended by Amazon as a match for the GPS I bought. Not so. About 1 inch too short to cover the unit.
  
  Sent email to customer service. They said they would correct the error, but made no offer to exchange for the correct item or make any other adjustment.
  
  I suppose I could pay $7 shipping to return an $11 item. Instead, I'll approach accessories offered by Amazon with caution. Such are the perils of shopping online. Buyer beware.
  
  
• It does "fit"... technically
  By AJWHRTD81R5Q3 on 2008-01-24
  I bought this case for my Nuvi 650 to protect the screen. While my unit technically does "fit" in the case, only about two-thirds of the screen is covered. The rest just sticks out of the top of the rather small case.
  If you want to protect the screen I suggest a larger case.
  
  
• Perfect size for portability!
  By A19HKRB4LU5YR on 2007-06-08
  Very well made leather case which fit my Nuvi 270 perfectly. I used this extensively during a recent trip and the case helped protect the Nuvi against scratches, dings, dents, and weather (though not waterproof). A very good way to protect your Nuvi investment. Does exactly what it advertises to do.
  
  
• Nice quality sleeve for smaller nuvis
  By A3OL0OZTKT08WO on 2007-11-20
  This product has very nice touch and eye appeal. It's slightly different from and better quality than (it appears to be) in the image on the page at Amazon.
  
  If you decide to buy it, be aware that it is a cushioned sleeve into which the nuvi slides, not really a full, closed case. It is fairly snug, but I do not know how well it would protect the unit if dropped, particularly on the open side.
  
  I like it though, and it's fine to protect the screen when I store it in the glove compartment or center console, or in a coat pocket.
  
  Strictly from a functional standpoint though, you can get one of those little Velcro cases they make for digital cameras, for about a third the price. But this case makes you feel nice. So there IS that.
  
  
• Nuvi 200 Carrying Case
  By A1XAWAUBL24K7E on 2007-11-15
  This case is a perfect fit for the Garmin Nuvi 200, nothing bulky. Fits well into a purse so I can carry anywhere.
  
  
• Wrong case sent to me
  By A2M0LEZVXMC6UB on 2008-04-17
  I ordered a Garmin Nuvi 650 from Amazon. At the same time I ordered some of the accessories for the Nuvi. This Garmin carrying case (item 010-10723-02) was listed with the accessories that Amazon suggested. However, when it arrived, it was evident that it was the wrong case for my Nuvi. On the box it says it is for the 370, 360, 350, 310, 300, 270, 260, 260, 250, 200. This case should not have been listed as an accessory for the Garmin 650!
  
  
• Wrong case for 200W!
  By A10Z9P0T4TAPP8 on 2008-01-16
  To be accurate this is not a review of the case itself but a red flag to all you Garmin widescreen GPS owners. Both Amazon and ANTonline recommend this case for the 4.3 widescreen unit when it's at east 3/4" to short to protect the screen. I informed both Amazon and ANTOnline and they still have not corrected the recommendation. So people are buying it
  with the wrong impression. I tried to have ANTOnline either accept it back as a return or an exchange for the correct case (see Garmin website for the correct case)but they ignored all my requests until they finally emailed me to tell me they contacted Garmin who will work with me to correct the matter. Regardless of why Garmin should be responsible for their mistake, I called Garmin and asked them if ANTOnline had contacted them.
  They claimed they never heard from them but were willing to send me the correct case for free. So within a week's time I received my new case from Garmin. Three cheers for Garmin! Three boos for Amazon and ANTOnline.
  
  
• Perfect size for Nuvi 260 and great price
  By A36ZK8X50W85ZF on 2008-04-08
  I am happy with the Nuvi carrying case - as everyone and their grandmother have mentioned it is too short for the "W" Nuvi's but mine is a regular 260 and this case is the perfect size and at a great price. I like the look of it as well, it's not a flashy, "look at me" type of case and seems sturdy.
  
  
• The Shrinking Nuvi 200W cover
  By A1EC1LP7RT00YC on 2007-12-03
  As cool as the carrying case for the Nuvi 200w is, it is too small for the gps itself. Kind of ridiculous. Should be 1 inch longer for optimal protection.
  
  
• Bummer
  By A19KFZH6NCDP52 on 2007-12-25
  I guess I ordered the wrong case..? Does not fit my 200W too well. As others have mentioned - not worth sending back. What happened - did we all goof on this?
  
  
• Great product, but not needed as already included with Nuvi
  By A1S9PSJK3VGWX1 on 2007-08-07
  I purchased this based on Amazon's recommended purchases for my Nuvi 350. Amazon is misleading as the unit already comes with the exact same case.
  
  
• Excellent protection for my Garmin.
  By A2JQM7VES6RHYE on 2007-10-11
  The carrying case is perfect for my Garmin. It makes a safe case for it when I put it in the glove box. The Nuvi 200 fits in it perfectly and snugly and offers excellent protection. The only thing I would change would be to add a handle and a closing flap to make it a true carrying case.
  
  
• Wrong Case
  By AMTO4CJKC8MT9 on 2008-08-04
  When I ordered My Garmin Nuvie 760 on Amazon the Amizon puters whent crazzy sending me items that I also should by with the unit. So I looked over the list....let's see...12 Volt Power cord for the car ..Ok...I'll buy that.. ( Amazon had no way of kmowing or didn't care that a Special 12 volt power cord comes with the unit that gives you real time traffic)at no charge.
  
  Ok I blew $10.00 Bucks.. They also said Hey how about this weighted & Padded dash mout that sits on your dash for your garmin to snap into. Hey it's only $25.00 . Ok I guess I'll need that to hold the unit on the dash.
  
  But The Garmin Nuvi 760 comes with a windshild suction cup assembly free with the unit. Wow..another $25.00 down the tubes.
  
  The next Item that they suggested was a nice leatehtr case for $10.00. Ok me says...I'll get on of dem dare as I don't want to scratch my new garmin.... Wrong again... The case does not fit or is not made for the Nuvi 760. It's made for a smaller unit. I had to go out and spend $37.00 with shipping to get the correct one and not from Slamazon.
  
  Ok Pee away anothr $10.00. To return these items is a pain in the butt ..I have to pay shipping back and we all know how much that costs. So I decided to give away the leather case to a friend who smokes as a pack of cigs fit's perfect in the case. He's happy. The power cord is now a spare. And the big weighted padded dash holder thingy ..well as a Joke I where it on my head at times driving down the road as it has four big flaps that hang over your face.. Makes you look like the "Court Jester"
  I'll use that around Holloween time.
  
  Do your self a favor double check waht amazon sends you wen they tell you it's an accessory for what you are buying..
  
  
• great accessory
  By ARZ1E3Y86CIWQ on 2007-11-24
  This is a very useful accessory. It leaves about quarter inch of the gps exposed, but does a good job of protecting the screen.
  
  
• I'm sure it works well for the right product
  By A32P0IYW8L5150 on 2007-12-03
  I ordered this after I purchased my Nuvi 650 GPS. Amazon recommended this item along with my purchase. Thanks Amazon, but this is for the Nuvi 300 series. Now I am stuck with an item you recommended that does not fit the item I purchased. Otherwise, hey it looks like a nice case for another item....
  
  
• This does NOT fit the Nuvi 250W
  By AHB6YSGHUTCA3 on 2007-12-04
  Just an fyi, I didn't notice this wasn't for the 250w...it's too short..nice case though, except my 250w sticks out about 3/4", but for the cheap price, not worth returning it.
  
  
• Wrong Size
  By A2RA2HNNPQ67VV on 2007-12-25
  I purchased this case as an accessory to the Garmin Nuvi 200W but it is not long enough to completely cover the wide screen units.
  
  
• Received wrong case!
  By A3N6W4RI78Z9IY on 2008-06-12
  Ordered the Garmin 760 (4.3 inch screen) with matching cases and received the 3 inch case! Very disappointed.
  
  
• nice protection
  By A1D7GWD54VB21R on 2007-11-26
  This case came with the nuvi 250 I bought and it's a nice accessory to have if you carry the GPS or to store it in the car somewhere. If it didn't come with the unit I would want something like it.
  
  
• basic
  By AVDVETKK2INFS on 2007-12-31
  This case is very basic. Just the flat unit itself goes into the case. Serves its purpose, to protect unit while not in use.
  
  
• Garmin Casing Case for Nuvi 260
  By A28BYKEQO5XLGE on 2008-01-01
  The case fits like a glove. It is a quality product.Garmin 010-10723-02 Carrying Case For Nuvi
  
  
• Doesn't fit the 200W offered with package deal.
  By A125J0ONA05I0F on 2008-01-03
  I purchased this carrying case as part of a package offer with the Garmin 200W nuvi. It's too small for the 200W. It's a nice case for the 200 nuvi.
  
  
• Doesn't work for the 200W
  By A1ND75BI19MB17 on 2008-01-07
  This is a nice case, just not big enough for the nuvi 200W. This was offered as an additional item to purchase for the 200W. My mistake for not verifying that it would fit. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a case available yet for the 200w, so this is better than nothing. It doesn't cover the entire screen, but does offer some protection
  
  
  
  
• To short for 200W
  By A1VRFF115PFXVQ on 2008-01-20
  To short for the 200W otherwise it makes a great storage case. Should have been told this.
  
  
• Doesn't fit 250 W
  By A100HAEFDBH20B on 2008-02-14
  I was very upset to find out that the case doesn't fit the 250 W Garmin nuvi. I am having a hard time finding a case that fits. The product page should be more specific about the "W" size issue.
  
  
• Poorly Described - Does Not Fit Nuvi 760
  By A19AOPAJWE74PS on 2008-06-13
  Yes, this fits a Garmin Nuvi, and it says which models it fits on the package when you receive it. Unfortunately, the Amazon description does not tell you which models. I bought a Nuvi 760, and under accessories, this was presented. I ordered it, but when it arrived it was too small for the 760.
