I like it! So far it has done a fine job of protecting my new Garmin eTrex from wear and tear.

Regardless of other reviews, this is a winner

I received the case yesterday and took it on a hike in pretty heavy woods today. I got fine reception. And you can manipulate the controls OK. Screen covered by plastic to protect but that was not a problem.
FYI- I ordered from Amazon and used their free shipping option. They bluffed and said 7 to 9 days. I said OK. I actually recieved the order by UPS in 23, yes 23 hours, after placing order!

Lost a star because I don't use it exactly as intended.

I got this holder mainly because I wanted to be able to keep my GPSr handy wile hiking, but out or the way and still recieveing. Here is the deal, I geocache, and I do it quite often. When I used to go out on longer hikes I would loop the leash on my GPSr around the strap on my pack, and then tuck my GPSr under the strap on my sholder where I couldn't see it, but it could see the sky, all that got me was a sore sholder and a GPSr dangeling by my waste not recieveing. Now with the holster I leash the holster to my pack, and clip the holster to my pack strar at about mid chest. I can see what I need to through the window of the holster, and if I need more detail I just pull the reciever out so I can see the screen better. This set up keeps my reciever close at hand, out of the way and recieveing when I don't need to see it, and protected from scratches (if you are a cacher, you know your GPSr has lots of scratches). As for the window that everyone complains about, I see it this way, I would rather have to take out my GPSr to read it better than have to replace my GPS because the window on it has gouges in it. Look at this holster as insurance with the benifit of keeping the GPS out of the way and it is a great bargain. Untill someone offers tore up GPS insurance this is the way to go.
