You spent a lot of money on your GPS. These devices are easily scratched so don’t just throw it in your gym bag, purse or glove compartment when not in use. Consider adding a carry case or pouch. We always wondered why the manufacturers do not include one, going back to when GPS units first came into fashion, the manufacturers would include a pouch in the box. Well, suppose times are tough now, so the consumer is faced with purchasing a carry case for their GPS. There are plenty to choose from for your Garmin, Magellan, TomTom, Mio, Nextar or whatever brand you have. They are even available for Golf GPS units like SkyCaddie (those cost more than fully blown GPS units these days).
First we start with cases. There are many types, and depending upon the size of your GPS and if you would like to also store the mount, many sizes to choose from.

Somewhat smaller, these mid-sized cases can fit the GPS and charger
There are smaller cases too. If your GPS is a standard 4.3 or 3.5 inch, there are many smaller cases on the market that will accommodate your GPS and charger, but if you would like to also include your mount, then the larger ones above are the only way to go. There are cases made by the manufacturer too, often in the form of pouches to fit your GPS. However, we think the ones that are aftermarket are a better value and you can generally fit more stuff in there.

Next item up for consideration are screen protectors. Originally made for PDAs back in the 1990s, some like to add these to GPS units. They come precut for the 3.5 and 4.3 inch units. Easy to apply and remove, they generally do not leave any residue on your GPS. They do need to be replaced roughly every 3-6 months.
