Product Description
When you've got your GPS going, it means you're on the move, and there are lots of opportunities to bump and bang your trusty Nuvi 300. With the speck ToughSkin ruggedized Nuvi case and holster, you get rugged protection and fashion for your GPS unit. Its one-of-a-kind design customizes the popular rubberized skin for extreme lifestyles. Includes ToughSkin case, swivel belt clip and screen protector. In Black.
The Speck Nuvi 300 ToughSkin GPS Case comes with a silicone case, a screen protector, and a microfiber cloth. Just so you know, the case also comes in a clear skin (I think the clear silicone skin blends in very well with the silver color of the Nuvi, so it doesn't make the Nuvi look bulky).
The Silicone Skin
-----------------
-- Cutouts / Accessibility to Controls --
The skin has 3 cutouts:
1) Screen Cutout
The cutout for the screen is very precise - its size matches exactly the size of the screen and it is accurately lined up with the screen.
2) SD Card & USB Connector Cutout
The SD card and USB connector both share the same cutout. The cutout is large enough so it won't interfere with access to the SD card slot and the USB connector.
3) Phone Jack Cutout
There is no cutout for the power button. Instead, an impression of the power button is molded into the silicone. The power button can be easily depressed with the skin over it.
-- Padding / Protection --
The skin is 3mm in thickness at the thickest parts to provide ample protection for the corners, sides, and back of the Nuvi from minor bumps. The back area is inevitably left exposed to allow for the deployment of the antenna. Still, the surrounding skin is so thick that the Nuvi will be protected from an impact if it were to land flat on its back.
-- Ergonomics --
The rubbery texture of the silicone and the molded ridges on the sides help to greatly improve your grip on the Nuvi and reduces the likelihood of the Nuvi inadvertently slipping from your grasp.
Screen Protector
----------------
-- Protection --
The screen protector is almost a perfect fit for the screen and leaves just a miniscule gap around the screen. But to all intents and purposes, it will do quite nicely in protecting the screen from scratches. My screen protector, unfortunately, came with a few minute scratches (nothing a little Scratch Remover can't fix).
-- Application --
You have to peel away a protective film to expose the tacky surface of the screen protector. But before you do that, make sure the Nuvi and your fingers are clean; this thing's a dust magnet. After the screen protector is applied, smooth it out with the included microfiber cloth. You may notice a few trapped air bubbles -- do not let that bother you; these bubbles will disappear over time.
-- Functionality --
With the screen protector on, the touch screen stays responsive and I have not noticed any decrease in its sensitivity.
Conclusion
----------
The silicone skin / screen protector combo is a very good value (Boxwave sells their Screen Protector alone for more than half of what this combo costs) and it works very well in protecting your investment. Definitely recommended!
Amazon doesn't sell the nuvi widescreen version of this protector, so I'm posting the review of that one here. I bought one for the 260W.
The thing is cool, hopefully does its job of protecting the GPS, but:
1) Their website (speckproducts dot com) claims you can still use your window mount while the protector is on. While it looks like you could, the rubber cover (although thin on the back) is too thick to allow use of the window mount clip.
2) The screen protector was confusing to install and I also got mine dirty and had to throw it away. It also left a sticky film on my screen that I had to wash off.
As for what one reviewer said about the belt clip, mine DID come with a belt clip. I wrote speck yesterday asking for a replacement screen protector but they have not yet replied.
I would have given 5 stars had the window mount clip fit on the GPS while the protector was in use.
The only thing that seems to work here is the rubber protector. It fits well and has holes in all the necessary places (like flash memory socket, etc.)
delivery time of the product was good.
Cons:
1. the description here on amazon says something about removable "belt clip" which I assumed is gonna be a thing that lets you fix the GPS unit to your pants' belt so you don't have to keep it in a pocket while on a hiking trip... however, in the box there was nothing even remotely resembling a "belt clip" (there was one piece of flexible transparent plastic, which looked like a protective packaging of the merchandise. I promptly dumped it in the garbage where it undoubtedly belonged)
2. Like one previous reviewer I also had a problem with installing the protective screen. By the time I figured which piece of plastic foil (there are 3 of them) is the actual screen plenty of dirt and dust managed to stuck on its glue-covered surface rendering the screen practically unusable. It didn't stick very well with air trapped around the edges and in the middle.
This is an excellent, rugged protective case for your Nuvi 300 Series GPS. It fits perfectly and has all the appropriate port openings to allow you to connect and mount your GPS device. My wife bought the clear version, but I think the black looks nicer.
It has plenty of cushioning to absorb shocks. It also comes with a screen protector to give you the 100% solution for scratch protection. The only downside was that the screen protector was a bit difficult to install. When we tried to peel the first side of the sticker off, the adhesive tab came loose. Nevertheless, it now is properly installed and looks great!
This cover fits my Garmin Nuvi perfectly. It gives you a secure grip of the GPS and protects it. No need to ever remove it; the GPS fits onto the car cradle with it on. Good item to have and well worth the money.
