Review on Protect and Transport Your Garmin eTrex with this Durable Carrying Case by Pranav Osman

I bought this mount mainly because I wanted to have my GPSr handy when hiking, but also on the go and still get a signal. Thing is, I'm a hideout, and I do that quite often. When I went on longer hikes, I would wrap the tether of my GPS device around the strap of my backpack and then tuck it under my shoulder strap where I couldn't see it but it could see the sky. All I got was pain in my shoulder and a GPSr dangling from not getting my poo. Now with a holster, I tie the holster to my backpack and clip the holster to the backpack strap about mid-chest. I can see what I need through the holster window and when I need more detail I just pull out the receiver for a better view of the screen. This setup keeps my receiver close, out of the way, accepting when I don't need to see it, and protected from scratches (if you're a cacher, you know your GPSr gets a lot of scratches). As for the window everyone is complaining about, here's how I see it: I'd rather take out my GPSr to read it better than replace my GPS because there are potholes in the window. Think of this holster as insurance to keep your GPS out of the way and it's a great deal. Until someone offers broken GPS insurance, this is the way to go.
