Snug Carry Case for Edge 605/705?

[oxford_guy]

After much consideration, I've recently bought a Garmin Edge 705 GPS unit, I also bought the "official" Garmin case for this, but this turns out to be a huge thing, into which you're meant to pack the heart rate monitor and other leads etc. too, whereas I just want a small protective carry case that fits the Edge 705 snuggly when I take the unit off the bike to go into shops etc. Does anyone know if such a case exists and/or if there is a suitable Crumpler or similar case that would fit well? Thanks!

I use a small LowePro which is nice. I think it's a Rezo 15.

The Rezo 15 looks a little big, how snug is the case?

Fairly snug - you can't put anything else in with it apart from paper money.

Am wondering whether a Crumpler P.P.45 case would fit it, its internal dimensions are 5.1 x 10.2 x 2.5, whereas the Edge 705 is 5.1 x 10.9 x 2.5, though am thinking the neoprene would stretch to cope with the extra (7mm) depth of the edge?

While we are on the subject of cases (I confess to just stuffing my Garmin in my pocket when I take it off the bike), anyone got a arm/wrist wallet big enough to hold a Garmin? I've seen them for MP3's etc but would really like one for the Garmin and can't tell if they'd be big enough.

I use the zip-up case that came with my Logitech mouse

I have a 305 and I bought a small camera case from Tesco, their own brand for about £3.50 which fits the 305 perfectly, maybe a bit big but I only put it in my work bag anyway, but it also has a small zipped pouch at the front which holds my VDO C4 computer perfectly. It also has a belt loop if you want to carry it by that means.

The case actually looks like the one Will1985 has posted pics of.

I have seen cases for Garmin Edge's on Ebay which fit all models but do not know much about them.

Also it may be worth looking at Ipod accessories as I bought my kids both a "sock" to keep their ipods in and at the time thought one would be ideal for keeping my edge in if I do put it in my pocket
