Review on Silicone Protective Case Cover Shell for Garmin Edge 810 and Garmin Edge 800 - Silicone Red by Eric Nallamothu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Does not keep port covers closed

This case is made of very good materials and fits perfectly. My caveat is that the hole on the back of the case is exactly the same size as the ports on my Edge 810. On my old Edge 810 case (Garmin brand case) this hole covered the edge of the port hole. Given that the Edge 810's port covers have degraded over the years to the point where they constantly open and no longer stay closed on their own, the part of the access hole in the Garmin case that covers these port covers actually holds them . closed while the Edge 810 is on my bike. However, the hole in the Motong's body doesn't extend past the port covers, so doesn't keep them closed. This became an obstacle for me when I actually received the Motong case; So I sent it back and ordered a Garmin case instead. This saddens me as I think the materials and other builds/designs of the Motong case are otherwise better than the Garmin case. Motonga case. However, if they pop up on release, I can't.

Pros
  • You have easy access to buttons, USB, touchscreen and MicroCD slot.
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
