This combination case and mount is a great solution for using your GPS in more than one car and being able to quickly remove your GPS--and any evidence of it--when you leave your car. I have a Garmin 1450, and it fits into this case snugly. Any difficulty removing it from the case isn't an issue for me, as I have no reason to take it out. Any problem removing the power cable isn't an issue either, as I leave the cable plugged into the GPS after unplugging it from the car, and wrap it around the case after I've folded the case around the GPS, then put the whole thing in my bag. No messing with a separate case or trying to hide a separate mount so that it's not visible in the unoccupied car. It's inevitably going to hang down and obstruct something--either an AC vent, radio control, or something, but it's easy enough to lift the hanging part out of the way and reach underneath or adjust its position slightly with one hand. Similarly, if the angle isn't right, or there's glare, it's very easy to adjust the position slightly by moving the sticky mount just a little bit. The mount grips the windshield without fail. Another big positive is that it's not above the dashboard, blocking any of my view, which I think is a real safety concern with a 5" GPS in a small car. The only negative, and this is a small thing, is that the sticky silicone part ends up against the GPS screen when the case is folded closed, and it leaves on the screen subtle prints of the texture of the sticky pad. I keep a small microfiber cloth (like you use for eyeglasses or computer screens) tucked into the little stretchy flap on the back of the unit to be able to periodically wipe the screen clean.

This little wallet like holder works very well holding your GPS to the dash of most cars, while making it extremely easy to take with you. It was the perfect solution for us renting a car in France. Unit was protected by Lowepro when in carry on bag, and instantly available when you needed it in car or navigating on foot.

I just got this and it is really convenient. I would agree with the comment that you can not adjust the angle of the GPS as it hangs from the dash, so if you need your GPS to be "just so" to see it, then maybe this isn't for you. Or, if you always have your window mount up in the same car, then fine, you are all set. But, I have three cars and the GPS moves between them all. So for me this is really handy because it is easy to deploy, a stable mnount, AND a great case. I don't like fooling with the window mounts and the weighted pads are bulky, heavy and the GPS can block part of your view. Nothing's perfect, but this does just what it says it will do. Build quality is good. So far I am really pleased.

Honest reviews on Lowepro 5.0 Navi Dash GPS Mounting Case

This sounded like a great idea, much easier than fooling with a windshield mount. It's a nice quality case, worked as advertised, held on the the dash with no problem, no slipping. BUT in my car it hung at an angle tilted slightly away from me, and the sun was on it, and no matter what I did I could not see the screen clearly. If you wear glasses as I do, be aware that you may not be looking through the right part of your lens with this hanging in front of the dash instead of near eye level on the windshield. A great product for those who are able to see clearly at that angle. The other drawback is that the windshield mount weighs about 1 pound in order to anchor securely to the dash, so when trying to travel light its just that extra bit of weight to tote. Also a bit awkward trying to plug the power cord into it. I am returning this as it just doesn't work for me.
