My advice is to use a small purse, bag or camera case. Its alot cheaper, especially considering the times. Thats a waste of my time. I'm not going to take the toughskin off every time I charge it. The protective screen is also helpful against scratches and fingerprints. Yes, the toughskin protects your garmin from bumps and bruises. What I did'nt like is that I could not plug my charger into the back with the toughskin & clip on. So, I returned the product for a full refund.
I didn't see a single other review that mentions this.After about an hour with a file and utility knife, it all fits. Nothing lined up, so I had to remove the skin every time I wanted to connect to the computer, or recharge the unit. I wound up shaving about 1/4" from the opening for the USB port to make it fit.Otherwise, though, a decent product. The clip fit onto my Nuvi 260 with the skin on, and the window mount fit that too (Speck claim it fits the 260 on their website, although Amazon's site doesn't reflect that). It would be a simple fix for them, but requires a little time and patience for me to do. Is mine the only one like this.
Somebody in QC needs to pay more attention, though (or redesign it). Opened it up, put it on - fits great. Perfect.But then I tried to plug in a USB cable to the USB port. But there's no way I could return it now.
It is stuck on the unit in a one-shot-only awkward process. However, the screen protector is about 1mm too small in each direction for the 265T/275T. If you want to use the case with anything other than the included belt holder, you need to pass on this item. The cover fits nicely on my 265T, all ports/openings are fully accessible. The cover has a nice sturdy thick rubbery feel. Additionally, despite the claim, the car mount for the 265T/275T cannot be used with this case on the unit.The compatibility with the car mount and other accessories such as the bike mount, are the primary reason I chose this case.
Well worth the price. Design also provides protection against inadvertent tuning on of the unit. No need to remove the case to use all functions of the unit. Unit still fits in the Case Logic AGPS-2 3.5" case even with the Speck Toughskin on it which shows how snug the Speck Toughskin fits. This is a quality custom fit rubber protection case. All the external ports, controls and mounting points remain totally accessible. I am confident it would prevent case damage if dropped.
Just put the clip on the 260 and then put the whole thing in the case. So, I then put the clip on the 260 without the case and then inserted it in the case to see where the ball clip was. It would, but would keep falling off. It works perfectly. The Speck case fits snugly around the Nuvi 260 but its thickness prevents the Garmin windshield mount from wrapping around the Nuvi and clicking into position. I first trimmed a bit off of each end of the case hoping that would hold the clip. I then cut a small hole and trimmed around it to let the ball through.
