   Good leather for the exterior. Nice cushion inside; it fits the 1490t snugly. The case is not bulky, but is also thick enough to protect the large screen.

   There is a cut-out for the screen: perfect for pedestrian mode.

   If you are planning on carrying the 1490t with you frequently (walking), this case would add a lot of security.

   The Garmin sat nav carrying case for the 5″ 1490T was or still is not available in the UK.
   The 1490T is only 14mm thick and is perfect for carrying with you after leaving your car, without the necessity to hide the device in the car.
   It is therefore necessary to have a carrying case, both for convenience and protection of the piano black finish of the the device.
   I looked at several other cases and whilst, I am sure they would have fulfilled their purpose, they failed in matching the design and quality of the Garmin product.
   If I wanted protection for the device immediately after it was received I had no choice but to buy the case through Amazon US.
   The item was less expensive in the US but of course higher shipping costs were involved. For me it was worth it.
   As usual with Amazon the service and despatch was both quick and efficient.

   This case fits the Garmin nuvi 1490t perfectly. It has a magnetic closure which is excellent. The quality is also pretty good and is well made. There’s a cutout once you open the flap so that you can view the screen of the 1490t which I have no use for since I only use my PND to navigate. But other than that, I highly recommend this case if you have a 1490t, especially since it’s the only one available for this 5″ screen PND.
