Carry case for my Garmin Xero..

[Foxshooter]

So, having smashed the pig and treated myself to a Garmin Xero chrono I find myself in need of a suitable carry case to protect my investment.

 

I have seen a friend use a Pelican 1040 case for his but are there any other/better options? 
 

Show me how you carry yours?

March scopes uk got a dedicated garmin case if you want a gucci one..

I bought a case off ebay for £9 I think.

A good case.

And I added one of these for good measure...https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196505911911

Very easy to apply, and does the trick.

Thanks everyone, definitely some food for thought, especially the screen protectors!

you’d have thought for £500 they’d have supplied something more than a cardboard box!

One thing I will say about the pick and pluck cases is buy larger than you think you need.  I have the case that @No i deer has linked and it fits my kestrel 5700 in as well.  Both fit with enough room.  The case @Re-Petehas shown looks like the contents is bursting out at the edges. I haven't a photo to hand or I would post.

Yes I thing for a soft case the next size up might be better

this is the one I got

Well I got myself one of the hard cases as recommended.  It cost me £8 from eBay and is spot on!  I also got a screen protector for a couple of quid.

 

Thanks for the pointers.  I think it was £15 well spent to protect a small but expensive piece of kit!  I think Spud is missing a trick not selling these things alongside the chrono.  You'd think that for £530 retail Garmin would have included more than a cardboard box!
