 Garmin carrying case for Nuvi 650 December 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The case is a perfect fit. It slides in and out with just the right amount of grip to keep it from falling out. However I think if was a big mistake to not include a belt clip. After all the Nuvi has an internal battery for using it away from car or home. How do they expect it to be carried?
Good product in other respects.
GARMIN: PLEASE ADD A BELT CLIP OR MEANS TO CARRY.
Disappointing quality December 16, 2007

I don't understand all the glowing reviews for this case: based on the many four and five star ratings given by other owners, I figured it was a no-brainer and placed my order.
When it arrived, I was surprised to discover that the leather is coarse and thin and that there is no real padding for the Nuvi.
Basically, this is two pieces of hard plastic over which some low-grade leather has been stretched. The best thing I can say about it is that it fits the 650 snugly -- at least initially -- which is important, as one end of the case remains open (providing easy access to the headphone port and SD card slot, as well as a potential avenue for the carelessly handled Nuvi to slip out).
Do not look for a belt clip or carry strap option, either. This is simple protection of the most basic sort.
I do not expect this case to wear well; it just isn't constructed for regular daily use.
Given the price and quality of the Nuvi 600s, I expected better in a case.
BTW, shame on Garmin for not including even some flimsy basic protection like this in the box with the 650!
Unless it is important to you to get something with the Garmin name on it, I would advise shopping for a more durable and protective alternative to this case.
Garmin Carrying Case For Nuvi 600 Series December 14, 2007

This is the official carrying case for the Garmin 600 series GPS's, but it's mediocre in quality. It is essentially a sleeve that the GPS slips into. The case does offer protection from scrathes, etc. However, there is no closure, so the GPS will fall out if you invert the case by accident. After a couple weeks of light duty, the case has also started to show some wear along the edges. You can probably find better and more durable protection elsewhere.
 Nuvii case December 14, 2007
Great product. Protects the nuvii when in the car. I did notice in stores that there is a larger case that carries everything, but I am not sure that it would fit in the glove compartment like this one does!
 Case Works Well December 13, 2007
A good option for the Nuvis that do come standard with a case (such as the 650). Nice leather form-fitting case that is open on one side. Easy to use and protects your Nuvi from damage.
