June 14, 2011Garmin GPS Motorcycle Power Supply…,
For those that don’t want to spring for the nearly $600 to buy a Garmin Zumo 550…this is a superb alternative for adding a less expensive Garmin GPS to your bike. I installed my 3-year old Garmin Nuvi 650 using a Ram Mount and this power cable hooked in to my BMW R1200GS Adventure’s Can-Bus electrical system. I’ve had it installed on my bike for a month now and It works beautifully. I spent about $100 total in parts versus the $600 for a new Garmin Zumo 550. Yes, my Nuvi 650 isn’t waterproof like the Zumo 550, but that’s nothing a 1-quart Zip-Loc freezer bag and a rubber band can’t fix on those rare occasions I get stuck in the rain. $100 versus $600? That was a no-brainer!!!

June 14, 2011Camera Salvation,
From the people that brought us the first Internal-frame backpack (1967), first plastic buckles on camera bags (1977) , first case designed for digital cameras (1999), first camera bag with a hydration system (2005), these same people have brought me a really reliable carrying case for my camera- 2010.
I like the Lowepro Volta 30 3.5 case because:
1. My camera fits in this molded EVA foam case and keeps from getting beat up.
2. Inside the case is an extra pocket so I can put an extra memory card in without it rubbing and bumping my camera.
3. The strap on the outside allows me to wear the case if I want to be hands free.
4. Black keeps looking clean.
5. It is compact at 3.5″ wide X 5″ high.
6. It could easily be used for a cell phone or other electronic devices.
This little black case is salvation for my camera.

June 14, 2011Absolutely perfect or I-Phone or Ipod Touch,
I bought this for my I-Touch. With a silicone cover on my I-Touch, it fits perfectly inside this (even with room for a set of earbuds also). The perfect size, soft interior and hardy exterior (not the usual canvas–much better), this provides my I-Touch, especially the acrylic face, the maximum in protection, yet it is still ultra-convenient, fitting in my shirt pocket. There is also a belt loop, if you want to attach it to your belt.
Later add….. I bought the Volta 20 for me, then the Volta 30 for my wife. The 20 is perfect for me in my opinion and is described above. The 30 is a shade larger (doesn’t fit in my shirt pocket, the fit for the Touch is looser, not as snug). I imagine it is a matter of personal taste, and what else you might want to put in the case—but again, for me the 20 is ideal, as there is room for earplugs (and you don’t want a bunch of other stuff in there anyway that might scratch your cover).

June 14, 2011The Perfect Garmin Nuvi case!!,
This is the perfect Garmin Nuvi case. I have examined and tried out just about every GPS case in the stores (Best Buy, Staples, Walmart, Target, etc) and every single case fell short of my expectations and/or functional needs for protection, quality, and portability.
I purchased this Lowepro Volta 30 from Amazon.com just by visually examining the product online and decided that this could be the case that I have been unsuccessfully looking for. When it came in the mail, it was absolutely the perfect Garmin Nuvi widescreen GPS case there is, period. At least from the ones I could research and personally try out with my Nuvi.
This case fits the Garmin Nuvi 755t GPS perfectly (virtually tailor made fit) without the slightest wiggle of the GPS once it is inside and zippered shut.
The outer case is a hard shell with a soft and smooth touch (for ultimate protection) with a quality smooth functioning zipper which zips around the entire case. There is little chance for the GPS to fall out when the zipper is opened, because there also is an intergral nylon flap hinge inside which holds the Nuvi in place when it is opened.
Oh, did I also mention the case has a belt loop to slide through your belt (which lies flat) if you don’t care to slip this very slim case into an inside jacket pocket or just about any pocket for that matter (it is that slim)!!
If your needs are for an excellent protective and very slim carrying case for only your Nuvi GPS and memory cards to carry with you for street Navigation, restaurants, to work or just if you don’t feel safe leaving it in the car when you leave your vehicle, this is the case for you.
I never carry my accessories with me everywhere I go anyway as I only need my GPS for one car. So I leave the the mount, cradle and power adapter hidden away under my seat or trunk etc and just grab the Nuvi GPS Unit and toss it in this case and I am on my way in a few seconds. The case is literally the same size as my Nuvi. Just big enough to enclose the Nuvi and give it all the protection it needs with it’s soft touch hard shell, completely around all sides an edges for the Unit.
Trust this review if all you need is the perfect case to remove just your Nuvi GPS from the car to travel around with you in the the most slender and convienient case for this purpose. The last I looked, it is on sale now (12-13-09) on Amazon.com for $17 dollars with free shipping. I paid $24 and would pay that price again in a heartbeat. I’ve seen similiar portable style cases in Best Buy for $40 that are inferior in protection, and quality and were a sloppy fit.
By the way, Best Buy sells Lowepro products, but doesn’t seem to carry this “Lowepro Volta 30” (not to be confused with the Volta 10 or the Volta 20 which are smaller cases). The Volta 20 might be perfect for the smaller screen GPS units.
One last comment. This Volta 30 fits the Garmin Nuvi 700 series GPS units perfectly, so be careful if you have a TomTom or other GPS, which seem to be larger than the Garmin 700 Nuvi Series. Some of those units might not fit. That is how perfect this case fits to the Nuvi line. Which makes it so convienient to take with you everwhere and just throw it into one of your pockets or slip it on your belt.
I hope this review narrows down your search for the perfect portable GPS case, since I wasted much time in trying and buying and returning cases that just didn’t fit my needs perfectly.
With all this searching, shopping and reviewing a simple $24 GPS case, it might seem that I have too much time on my hands. Not at all. I am just a perfectionist and will go that extra mile to get what I want and be totally satisfied without regret and just thought I could save other shoppers with too much time on their hands the time I have expent searhing and shopping around. You don’t want to know how much time I spent researching the GPS’s until I found what I believe is the perfect Unit for me (Garmin Nuvi 755t). Good Luck.
Happy shopping and have a Happy Holiday.
There is also a small pocket on the inside cover to store a memory card or two.
