Comment:
I got this unit so that I could easily clip and unclip it onto my backpack while moving. Over all I like this clip and have used it a few times. Problems that I have with it is that the USB port is covered up and you have to remove it to get at the batteries. The other thing is that if i am not careful when removing the GPS from the holdster it pulls back a rubber cover on my Garmin eTrex Vista Cx. Ensure you get a screen cover for your GPS in addition to this if you are going to clip it to something. I tend to just throw my backpack off and I noticed the potential of the screen hitting a rock.

Great Carrying Case for Ease of Use

Comment:
I received this as a gift to accompany my new Garmin Etrex Vista, and have really enjoyed using it. Clipping onto your belt loop makes reference very easy while walking about geocaching. (I suggest loading the device so the clip is at the bottom of your GPS -- which means that it hangs upside down from your belt loop, but when you want to reference it, you simply hold it flat w/o unclipping from you belt. Believe it or not, it took me a couple of days to figure that out...and I even have a college degree!)
Downsides:
Not easy to load into the carrying case. It's very snug, which is great for security while carrying, but is a pain if you take it in/out a lot.
The clip is not very strong. After only 2 months of use the clip's hinge is already weak. I'm going to need to replace it soon, but carabiner clips are cheap and abundant at local hardware stores, so I don't consider this a "deal breaker".
I have 2 different carrying cases (the other is a belt-clip clear-front model) and this is definitely the superior (and cheaper!) I completely and unabashedly recommend this carrying case for your Garmin Etrex -- and you can quote me on that!
