I purchased this cover to protect my 60cs and it does exactly what I had hoped. The cover is elastic on the back and has a rubber-like material on the sides and top which enables you to get a good grip on your GPS. The front of the cover is made of plastic which extends the length of the view screen as well as the buttons.

I do however, have some gripes about the cover. The plastic cover can make entering data with the rocker pad tedious because even though you are pressing the rocker one way, the plastic causes the rocker to respond another way. I would rather have seen a separate cover for the buttons that was a bit more pliable. Also, you have to take off the cover if you want to plug your GPS unit into your computer via the USB cable. An opening in the cover would have made this easier. Lastly, the cover does not work with the handlebar mount for the 60cs. I really wish that it would because it is on the handlebars of my bicycle that I need the most protection. Therefore, I also bought some plastic screen covers to attach to the front face of the GPS to prevent it from getting scratched. However, the plastic screen covers and this cover do not play well and I have found that the cover pulls the plastic screen covers off.

The 60cs is a big investment. Despite the flaws in the cover design, it is definitely worth the extra cost of buying this cover. And pick up some plastic screen covers as well.

Perfectly functional and looks good. It is black. It protects the body and screen while allowing access to all the relevant buttons and ports. It has a good grip, padding could be better, as GPS’s are made for outdoors.

The screen tends to collect dust and lint, but it is easy enough to wash off (after removing the 60cs).

Like others, I hate having to remove the case to access the USB Port, but this case has saved my 60Csx from damage twice. Once, I dropped it down a 60 foot cliff and it rolled harmlessly to a stop – no damage. Next, while ascending a steep trail with the GPS in my right hand and safety strap around my wrist, I lost my balance for a split second and grabbed a large sharp boulder for support. This resulted in a deep scratch about 3 inches long right on the face of the unit. I was really upset and thought for sure the glass screen itself must also be scratched. I removed the cover and to my surprise, the face was intact – not a single blemish. Needless to say this little mishap cost me $20 – for a new case. Get It!
