silicon case for garmin edge 800

[david k]

are they worth buying? if so anyone know where the cheapest can be found

thanks

What's it for David? The 800 is waterproof and shockproof. If it stays on your bars then you really have no need to cover it.

It saves it from knocks and bounces. Mine spends a lot of time in panniers when I am at work or touring.

In these cases yes it is worthwhile, but if as above it stays on the bike, then probably not

i use it for geocaching as well, i wanted something to stop it getting damanged when its being passed and knocked about

i bought a case of ebay but its wayyyy too big for it, itl do for my winter rides but not really ideal

i have one but I'm arsey like that. Can't abide scuffs and scrathes on things like phones, ipod and now the 800. Especially good for tucking ferry tickets in when off to the Eureka Cafe

They are robust bits of kit. I suppose for in bags etc then a case or bag might be good.

TBH I have bought a 200 for the commute. That's the one that will be on and off the bike. The 705 is for the weekends.

so have you bought the silicon cover fb?

 

[frayBentos59]

the person I bought it off on here very kindly included it in the sale. If you're anything like me and get a bit put out by scuffs etc then I'd get one. also bought the screen protectors off ebay for a couple of quid as well.

 

[david k]

bought one off amazon for 7 quid

I have one on mine, for £7 it seemed a no brainer to give an extra layer of protection to a £300 gizmo that will be out in the wet and bound to get a knock or 2.

i have no brain so took me a while to decide

Wish my brain could find something similar for the 200

I pop it in a sock when I'm not using it, the Garmin that is.
