Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - work around for windshield clip
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. It would, but would keep falling off. 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. I then cut a small hole and trimmed around it to let the ball through. It works perfectly. Just put the clip on the 260 and then put the whole thing in the case.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Window mount attachment doesn't work with skin on
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.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Case good if you don't want to use car mount.
I ordered this product in order to protect our Garmin Nuvi not only while it was stored, but also when transferring it between the house and car or while walking. However only after placing the skin on did it become evident that the Nuvi car mount will not attach. No matter how hard I tried. The case has cutouts in all the right places, but is too thick in the car mount area. If I have to remove the skin in order to use the car mount, it defeats the purpose. It'll be up on ebay soon.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Speck ToughSkin for Garmin Nuvi 200 - Good Protection
The main component of this case works. The case is probably much more expensive than it has to be, and it isn't perfect. But if you use your Garmin in Pedestrian mode and need to protect it, this is one of your few options.

The screen protector is not really that great and doesn't offer much proection. Similarly, even though it's possible to use this in your car for regular use, getting the attachments around the case is a somewhat clumsy process that requires a few pieces in addition to the standard mount pieces.

So if you need a case for use in pedestrian mode, definitely check this one out. For car use, you probably don't need this.

Enjoy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Product - A must buy for Nuvi 200
Great product, very durable screen saver included (for clearest viewing, make sure you pull the protective membrane off the sheet after installation).

All OEM attachments fit without trimming by snapping over the included belt clip assembly. I use mine with both the friction dash mount and windshield unit with no issues.

On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.

Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.

Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.

Diesel vehicles have nearly a 50-percent market share in Europe, thanks to tax incentives and diesel-friendly legislation across the EU. Diesels are so passé there that you can buy a BMW 730d and no one will think it odd that your luxury car burns oil. Pull up in a diesel 7-Series in America and people would leer at you like you've alighted from an amphibious vehicle reeking of saltwater and dead trout.

But now, thanks to the oft-reported combo of newly-raised CAFE standards, not-so-newly-raised gas prices, and the 50-state diesel engine, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are about to dip more than a hesitant toe into the diesel game. Chrysler offers a diesel in the Grand Cherokee, but soon all three automakers will offer diesels in their best-selling lineups of light trucks -- the Dodge Ram 1500 is expected to offer a 50-state diesel after 2009. Light trucks are being used to lead the charge since those buyers stand to gain the most with the least amount of (perceived) sacrifice.

Diesels currently have 3.2-percent of the American market. Some estimates put them at 15-percent by 2015. That's a huge leap, and diesel still has plenty of hurdles. Diesels will come with a cost premium over gasoline-engined cars. That should be easy enough to conquer -- incentives and some quick cost and longevity calculations should convince people of the benefit. The real hurdle is the nagging issue of perception. The plan will probably be to attack that with a price that makes the proposition unbeatable. Said Chrysler's director of environmental affairs, "If it's priced right, we can sell diesel here. Diesel can give you an immediate poke in fuel economy -- 20 to 40 percent. Not many technologies can deliver that today."
