I too bought one of those, but used it for all of 5 minutes. It takes too
long to cover it up, and won't allow me to attach to my bike mount or the
windshield mount, so it's been sitting in my drawer ever since. When they
came out, I was hoping for a case that wrapped similar to the eTrex case,
but this one wasn't even close. That being said, I have a 60C case
available, a pair of Jeep bumperettes (slightly damaged) and a damaged leaf
spring. Getting sandwiched between a Chrysler and an Audi isn't fun, but
the beast came through with only minor injuries. I can't say the same for
the other vehicles though. :D

No I didnt. I actually got one of those neoprene type sleeve/cover for it.
Jake-TeamAI had one that he didnt want. So while at the Pizza Event cache
back in the Spring... I gave him a few bucks for it. He didnt like this one
as it was really tight and it is. But it fits really snug and protects the
GPS well. So other than it being really tight to get the GPS in and out
of... it works great to protect the unit. I've dropped the unit a couple of
times now and it is well protected in the shock proof case. I thought about
those screen protectors... but would rather protect the whole unit. I might
get those screen protectors for my PDA though. Are you referin' to the ones
that are advertised on Geocaching.com?
