Do you think Phil is the seller? My assumption was that he is just letting people know about something he found that has been the subject of many inquiries -- Garmin cases.

i dont think thats an original garmin case. might be a knock off. i got an original garmin case + bean bag mount from best buy for $20. it is decent with hard flaps and a soft sides into which the nuvi slides. great protection. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=garmin+case&ie=utf-...

I picked up a black neoprene case made for Polaroid's tiny printer called the Pogo. It fits the wide Garmins perfectly and I picked it up on clearance at Target for under $4. Wish I got another one.
Only drawbacks are that it is not waterproof and it says Polaroid Pogo on the outside (but that doesn't bother me).

While technically it doesn't seem to be a "Garmin" product it does come with a high quality Garmin logo 'sticker' that you can apply to the case, or not, your choice. The case came with a clear protector to apply to the screen, a tiny stylus and a small carabiner type clip..I suppose to clip the case to a belt or ??
The case is molded hard plastic on the sides and offers good protection for the GPS. It's a little oversized so if you just toss a Nuvi in it can move side to side a half inch or so. There's an elastic band that secures the GPS if you bother to use it. A netted area in the 'lid' gives you a place to stash extra memory cards. It took about a week and a half to arrive in Arizona from Korea.
I'd call it a good deal if you need a hard case. I actually prefer the Garmin leather slip in case (I think it might have come with the 660)that's almost identical in size to the GPS. It's less bulky.

I also prefer the soft slip in case. It fits very well in the back pocket of jeans, coat pocket, etc. when you want to take it from the car. It is also made by Garmin or at least is one that have made.
I don't have anything like the one in the link you posted but I did buy a soft, slip-over type with a clear window for the display and keypad to fit my GPSMAP 60CSx. It has both a wrist strap and a belt-clip attachment. Suits me just fine!
I think I bought if from Garmin 'cause they gave me a $10 gift certificate for their store when I registered my gps with them.

That is a nice case, I personally would not purchase anything off Ebay that is from Hong Kong! I purchase all my items from America. If anything happens, I can follow up on it through Paypal, not sure if they would handle issues on purchases over seas!
Bought Garmin leather case for $12 at amazon. They put it on sale every couple weeks with free shipping if you have over $25. Get the Nav Mat for $13 and you have it covered.
My Nuvi 350 came with a leather slip in case which is really nice. Don't all units come with a case?
My 350, of course, came with a case as did yours.
My 660 also came with a similar slip case.
The 360 I got the for the GF came with a case.
The 650 I got for my parents did NOT. I was surpised by this.
My mom found a case at Miers for 18 bux. Not a bad lil case. It works and she likes it..
