The case I have, which is probably the case you have... is not actually a 
neophrene... it looks like a sharkskin or something like that material. The 
neophrene ones (similar to the Etrex ones) are much nicer fitting. I have 
seen them around on the internet. I will see if I can find one and post a 
link here. But I agree... the ones we have now kinda suck. But they do the 
job for me. The only issues I have is when I use the cigerette lighter 
adapter and have to remove the case (actually just slide it down a bit) to 
get the adapter on the unit. This sleeving is really tight.

Here is the link to the neoprene case:

This is the one I would have liked to have. It looks like it will slide on 
and off much easier. But when Jake offered me his.. for $4... I couldnt turn 
it down! :)
