Navigon 4.3-Inch Protective Hard-Shell Case

I bought this cover because I travel and taking the Magellan with me is a bonus since you can use it to find your way around a new city. When traveling, this case protects the GPS perfectly without any additional bulk.

When I received my Navigon 2100 max, I was looking for a case that will protect the unit and this case that I bought from Amazon was the exact fit for my GPS. I like it very much since it is sturdy and made nicely.

The case does just what it was designed for, keeping the unit safe and clean when not in use. Zipper works fine, one you get used to it. Good bang for the buck.

This Case was recommended by Amazon when I made my GPS order. However, it is too small for the GPS system I ordered. It is a nice case, I will have to use it for something else.

The GPS unit will fit into the case, but the case can not be zippered closed leaving the GPS unit as risk.

I read some reviews before I ordered this case so I knew what I was getting.
It's a good case, I have had no problems with the zipper.
Great for protection when I put my gps unit in my handbag. It won't protect as well as a real hard shell case if it has a fall onto pavement, but then again my gps is either in my home, in my handbag or in my car.
So it's just as I expected, a good protective case.
Oh, and it shouldn't be called a "hard-shell case", I think it should be changed to a "molded hard-foam case".

The holder for my GPS systems is great and I would recommend it to all.

In terms of protection, the hard case is great. But it does not have a space to contain the cable to carry. If the manufacturer makes the pocket that the cable can be stored, this case will be super.

This little carrier is very convenient for protecting your new gps. Very easy to zip up and toss in your purse. A good buy.

This is a great item. I love it...my Magellan is safe and secure in it.

Love the case! It works perfectly and was a great deal. Fast delivery, as well!

JUST GOOD,THOUGHT CASE WOULD BE MORE FIRM NOT AS HARD AS PICTURE LEAD YOU TO BELIEVE

I've had this product for about a week now. I use it for my Navigon 7100. I like this case. It is very well made. I like the exterior and interior colors and finish. It fits my Navigon perfectly. I want to clarify the 3 issues other reviewer's have raised. 1) One reviewer had said that the chain has scratched his GPS. I don't think it is even possible. The case opens quite wide and there is ample room to remove or put in the GPS without touching the chain. 2) Some people have said it is not hard-shell. Well, looks like they expected it to be made of steel and it is not. It's made of leather, and is hard enough to protect the contents. I still consider it to be a hard-shell. 3) One reviewer said it has a very strong unpleasant smell. Again, I did not find that to be true. It is made of processed leather, so it has some smell. But the smell goes away in a day or two. I am very pleased with this product and would highly recommend it to others.

The zipper puller got off the first time I pulled it. They used a very, very cheap zipper in this product.

For the small cost of the item I am delighted with the case for my Navigon 7100 GPS. It is "hard" enough for the protection it needs provided you don't run your car over it or give it to a child to play with. It allows much better protection than the "soft" case that is sold.

I admit it, I have a nose like a bloodhound but this carrying case has a very strong plastic smell to it. Sans the odor issue, it's a nice, well made case. It's not a "hard" case, there is some "give" but it does a good job of protecting the GPS unit.

I bought the Navigon 4.3 Protective hard case for my Magellan 4250, fits perfect, keeps it from being squashed, doesn't take up much room in my purse which allows me to take my GPS with me everywhere. I love it! AND, it's not obvious, thick like some other carriers and was reasonably priced.

It is working well.

When I received the product I thought it was not going to protect well. But when you place the GPS inside it works well protecting.

Would recommend.

The zipper works fine but a snap latch would be better. However, the Navigon 7100 fits in it perfectly with no extra space, providing a great protection. Much better than the cloth bag that comes with the Navigon.

This is a well-made item which protects the GPS unit very well...ideal for slipping into the briefcase for transport. My only wish is that it was slightly bigger so that it could accomodate charger and cables.

This case does the job, but I agree with the other reviewers that it is not a true hard shell case, and is a little cheap for the price. I do like that it does not flip open all the way, so my Garmin Nuvi 750 has less of a chance of falling out. The case is slightly large for the Nuvi 750 if anyone is wondering, but it works fine and I don't see it to be a problem. Fine little case, the best I could find for my needs after surfing the web for a few hours. It'll do the job

I have used the case for storage while traveling and camping. Works well and I recommend having one. For the price, this is a must.

Purchased the case when I purchased the GPS unit. Used it once and threw it in a drawer. Zipper hard to close plus there is no room for anything else. Got a Case Logic case from B.J.s for half the price and is much better quality plus has room for the charging cable. Don't bother with this item.

The case is OK. It's molded "leather" and not a real hard case.
It has a membrane inside that keeps it from opening any further than you see in the picture. I suppose that's to keep you from flopping it open and dropping your GPS. It does it's job. The zipper is kinda cheap though so you have to be easy with it.
I wouldn't get another one.

It's just OK. Advertised as a "Hard" case, it is kind of soft. Sort or an upgraded cardboard. I was a little disappointed with this purchase.
But, it works and I use it because it's a bad idea to leave a GPS exposed on the dashboard, I've had one stolen so when I leave my car in a public place I slip the GPS into the "hard" case and either take it with me or slip it into the glove compartment.

The Megellan that I purchased came with a small slip-in soft pouch which does not protect your device. FOr maximum protection I purchased the hard shell case which has a zipper and my GPS is well protected.

What can I say, it's a semi-hard shelled case that protects my nuvi 200 W. I felt that it was a little over priced, but it offers much more protection than those flimsy little leather sleeves that are offered by Garmin and a few other stores. It was made with love by our friends in China, so don't get your hopes up too much when it comes to quality craftsmanship. Again, it does what its advertised to do....protect your sweet new GPS navigation toy from short drops and everyday scratches. I would suggest getting a screen protector as well, just be careful appling it, the screen must be absolutely clean!

Great case for storing your GPS. My TomTom ONE XL was a perfect fit.

Works great with the TomTom 720 and almost seems like it was made for it. Has the same curved back and flat front. For the money I would say it is a great buy.

I ordered this case along with my Navigon 7100 and had not yet seen it at retail. If I had, I wouldn't have bought it -- even at half the price.

First, as mentioned by others, this is not a true hard shell case; it's more like a lightweight molded foam. It's perfectly fine for purse or briefcase, but then so is a simple leather or vinyl case. (Unlike some others, I don't find that the zipper scratches the device, perhaps sloppy manufacturing leads to varying case measurements.) I don't think this case would offer any significant protection if the GPS were dropped. Also, the faded gray-blue color and the orange lining doesn't exactly scream class. Navigon makes a premium GPS line, it's a shame they couldn't come up with a hardshell case that also looked premium.

The product seems to be adequate for it purpose. I have no major problems with it function. The picture correct displays it actual look.

OK, I took a chance in spite of the price and some not-so-favorable reviews. Got burned. The case is NOT a hard shell in the true sense of the term. It's some kind of plastic and it seems thin and quite flexible, sort of like the cardboard backing on a pad of paper. Maybe this "feature" helps absorb shock if the case is dropped, but it sure doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. The zipper closure works poorly in that it doesn't move around the corners of the case easily, but it seems like it is "breaking in" and working a bit better now (about 5 days of usage). And, holy cow does that thing STINK! It must be off-gassing like that old kind of carpet made out of recycled plastic soda pop bottles! What a weird odor! It has persisted for several days now, but fortunately it seems to be lessening. On the plus side, it looks nice and my Nuvi fits in it well. All for just $19.95! Probably cost $.25 to produce; should have sold for about $6.95 at most.

Slightly more difficult to open than any other case but its has stretching bands I guess to stop it from opening too much and as others suggest maybe to stop the GPS from falling out.

It rigid, nicely sized, almost as big as the GPS only, and does the job. Shame about the grey and red colors and texture of the case outside. It doesn't look great but does what it says on the product description.

Haven't personally had problems with scratching.

Compare with the black case logic one also on Amazon so you can make a fair decision. Sorry but its only fair to tell consumers of the competition and each can decide for themselves.

Hi, i got this case for my boyfriend's Navigon GPS and he liked it.. i haven't heard anything bad about it.. it also looks good.. not super good, just good.. lol

Nice quality and fits the device very well. The zipper looks a little flimsy, so only time will tell if it holds out.

This is very nice for protecting your 4.3" GPS. I ordered it for a Navigon 7100, but ended up with a TomTom GO 720 - which fit perfectly. Protects the unit from scratches and falls.

VERY NICE CASE FOR THE MONEY. THE NAVIGON FITS PERFECTLY IN IT. GREAT FOR TRAVEL SAFETY.

The case will protect the GPS, but the zipper is not made well, and after 3 times using it the Zipper Pull SNAPPED off the zipper. For the price paid it should be better made.

The zipper inside is exposed and scratches the 7100. I've had my 7100 for about two months and not a mark on it without the case. In sad irony one week with the case and it is all scratched up from the case! (reviewers of the 5100 case have noted the same glaring problem)

Before I got the "official" case I checked several nintendo DS (not DS lite) cases at CC. They fit well and I don't think they will scratch up the 7100 like this one does.

Also not the description says this is a hard case. It is semi hard while it will protect the screen within the glove box, it looks like it will do little to protect against even a one foot fall to street.

On the ergonomics, it is clumsy to remove as it doesn't open all the way like Nuvi official or third party cases.

Truly not a hard case semi hard is more like it but very nice for the price and holds the navi well

This is a great case. It offers excellent protection for my Navigon 7100. At first I was disappointed that the case did not open fully --- once you unzip it, side straps keep the case from opening fully. However, in using it I have realized that this is a great feature. You can't accidently drop the gps when you open the case. You have to reach in and pull it out.

In my travels recently I have found it to be a quick way to take my 7100 with me without a lot of time fumbling with the case to put it in. Prior to this case, I had been putting the gps into a cloth bag with a pull string on it. Now, once in this Navigon case, which looks pretty sharp with the orange lining, I slip it into my pocket and have no concern about the 7100 being very well protected.

Excellent product and design. Thanks Navigon.
