HDCSXL: Extra Large Hard Shell Case For Garmin, TomTom, Mio GPS with 4.3″ Screen
Case is hard shell for protection. The photo appears to show what looks like a Garmin Nuvi to me with the adaptor and dash mount tucked neatly in the pocket of the case. Forget it. There is probably enough room for it all, but unless your dash mount folds flat it does not fit as shown. Even removing the GPS clip from the swivel ball mount, you are still left with the rigid ball arm and base that simply does not fit as shown. If you try and use the storage pocket, you simply cannot close the case as the suction base presses on the unit. Can you make it fit? Sure, by sticking the suction base along side the GPS unit itself and not using the pocket as shown and somewhat forcing the case closed. Don’t know about other makes, but I do not recommend whatsoever for Garmin Nuvi.

There are two types of GPS carrying cases out there. There are small, light, clip-to-your-belt cases that are good for carrying your unit when you leave the car for a while, and don’t want to leave your GPS behind to tempt thieves. But it’s also nice to have a safe and sturdy place to store your GPS between trips. This just might work for you.
I use the case to hold my NUVI and a spare power cord. The cigarette lighter adapter on my main cord self-destructed once, and since then I’ve always carried a spare with me. The main power cord I leave attached to my beanbag-like “Garmin portable friction mount” (a must-have item for NUVIs, much better than a suction cup on your windshield), and just wind it a couple of times around the base. The friction mount, and this case, stack up nicely on a shelf until I need them, and then I have only two things to grab and take with me.
One reviewer mentioned the suction cup mount won’t fit inside the case along with the NUVI and power cord. I threw mine away, so I can’t say either way. If you are still using the suction cup, and want to stow it with your GPS, this case probably isn’t for you. But if you use the friction mount, and want to bring a spare power cord handy, this works great.

While this is a great protective case and will keep your Nuvi fairly safe, the photo used to promote the item is misleading. I like the unit but I have a Garmin Nuvi 765 and just a s the previous poster wrote the windshield mount will not fit in the case properly. The mount has a rigid ball as part of the mount and that is the piece that will not safely fit in this case. Yes you can force it but that is taking a chance that if you drop the case it will press upon your screen and possibly damage it. Otherwise it’s an excellent case and will allow you to store most of the other components you need to take store. The area you see in the photo with the net mesh is where you store the accessory items. Good solid material and well manufactured, strong zipper. I give it 3 stars more if the photo was changed.

The case is very durable and somewhat versatile,
but you need a shoehorn to get all the stuff in.

The case seems very protective of the GPS. I dont have the mount attached but with the attachements, its a pretty tight fit. The biggest drawback for me is that there is no carry strap or handle. The case is 4-5 inches thick so that’s quite a handful to just carry around in your hand. I am going to return it. The only way I can see it being manageable is if you are going to leave it in the behicle all the time or planning to always put it in a larger bag.
