I read all the reviews and this case works for my wife and me just great. Yes, there is an insert (if you notice in the ad), and the Garmin does not fit in there perfectly and sort of pushes itself out of it (like another reviewer stated), but since the insert is made of foam and cloth, it acts now as a shock absorber. It sort of sits 1/2 way in this foam insert. Looks like that insert was made for another type of GPS, but it still works for our Garmin 855. I just put my Garmin 855 in the case to test to see if it moves around while I shake it pretty hard, and yes it does move somewhat. I feel very safe that if I drop the case, with only the Garmin in it, the case will protect it 100%. So, for me, this formed foam insert adds to the security that my Garmin will not be damaged if dropped. The middle flap protects our Garmin from anything you put in the mesh bag on the other side. However, it will not fit the suction cup, and it will fit the usb, car charger, and the quick manual with ease. I bet it would even fit the optional ac adapter with no problem.
I did my research on the other cases, and this case seems to be the best bet. I don't have to worry about the case turning the Garmin on, and I don't have to worry about damaging it by dropping the darn thing. It holds just about everything, and has a hard case. We think it is great, and a great purchase. |
Provides great protection.

| Already saved my gps. Droped it the other day from about 6 feet and my gps still works great. Also has plenty of storage space for your cables and sd cards. |
Great GPS Case

| I got this for my Garmin Nuvi255W. It has room for both the GPS and the adapter. Very nice. |

| With the theft of GPS units being stolen from cars I can leave the cables and dash mount in the glove compartment and take the GPS with me. So even if the car is broken into they don't get anything. |

| Great semi-hard size case to protect a 4.3" GPS. I store my mini audio cable and USB cable in the top compartment. |
