 Protection For You Nuvi 300 SeriesFeb 18, 2009
The Speck Nuvi 300 ToughSkin GPS Case comes with a silicone case, a screen protector, and a microfiber cloth. I chose the clear skin over the black silcone skin because the clear silicone skin blends in very well with the silver color of the Nuvi, so it doesn't make the Nuvi look bulky.
The Silicone Skin
-----------------
-- Cutouts / Accessibility to Controls --
The skin has 3 cutouts:
1) Screen Cutout
The cutout for the screen is very precise - its size matches exactly the size of the screen and it is accurately lined up with the screen.
2) SD Card & USB Connector Cutout
The SD card and USB connector both share the same cutout. The cutout is large enough so it won't interfere with access to the SD card slot and the USB connector.
3) Phone Jack Cutout
There is no cutout for the power button. Instead, an impression of the power button is molded into the silicone. The power button can be easily depressed with the skin over it.
-- Padding / Protection --
The skin is 3mm in thickness at the thickest parts to provide ample protection for the corners, sides, and back of the Nuvi from minor bumps. The back area is inevitably left exposed to allow for the deployment of the antenna. Still, the surrounding skin is so thick that the Nuvi will be protected from an impact if it were to land flat on its back.
-- Ergonomics --
The rubbery texture of the silicone and the molded ridges on the sides help to greatly improve your grip on the Nuvi and reduces the likelihood of the Nuvi inadvertently slipping from your grasp.
Screen Protector
----------------
-- Protection --
The screen protector is almost a perfect fit for the screen and leaves just a miniscule gap around the screen. But to all intents and purposes, it will do quite nicely in protecting the screen from scratches. My screen protector, unfortunately, came with a few minute scratches (nothing a little Scratch Remover can't fix).
-- Application --
You have to peel away a protective film to expose the tacky surface of the screen protector. But before you do that, make sure the Nuvi and your fingers are clean; this thing's a dust magnet. After the screen protector is applied, smooth it out with the included microfiber cloth. You may notice a few trapped air bubbles -- do not let that bother you; these bubbles will disappear over time.
-- Functionality --
With the screen protector on, the touch screen stays responsive and I have not noticed any decrease in its sensitivity.
Conclusion
----------
The silicone skin / screen protector combo is a very good value (Boxwave sells their Screen Protector alone for more than half of what this combo costs) and it works very well in protecting your investment. Definitely recommended!

 Great Protection For Your Nuvi Investment!Apr 25, 2008
This is an excellent, rugged protective case for your Nuvi 300 Series GPS. It fits perfectly and has all the appropriate port openings to allow you to connect and mount your GPS device.
It has plenty of cushioning to absorb shocks. It also comes with a screen protector to give you the 100% solution for scratch protection. The only downside was that the screen protector was a bit difficult to install. When we tried to peel the first side of the sticker off, the adhesive tab came loose. Nevertheless, it now is properly installed and looks great!
