Garmin Oregon Accessories: Slip Case and Retractable Lanyard
As I was poking around the Garmin site this morning looking for details on the new Dakota I noticed that Garmin has added a $12.99 slip case for the Oregon. The case is designed to remain on the unit while the GPS is in use. I can’t tell from the pictures if there is any type of cover over the touchscreen or not. A few online retailers seem to be advertising it but Garmin is listing as available in the next week or two.
Another Oregon accessory caught my eye as well. I’m not sure if this is new but Garmin lists a $24.99 retractable lanyard
You can find other Oregon and Colorado accessories like these at the GPSFix store.

Judging by the reflection coming off the front of that case, I say it does indeed have a cover over the touchscreen, similar to the eTrex cases.

I wonder if it has a camera cutout for the 550t or if it needs one?

I keep my GPS in a camera case mounted high on the shoulder strap of my backpack. This slip case looks like I would need a larger camera case, for the GPS and slip cover to fit inside.
The screen is imprecise enough without adding a layer of plastic to it. A simple gel case (like what’s available for the iPod and iPhone) would be better for hiking and skiing applications, I think.
It looks to me like the carabiner shown in the photo is not included with the slip cover. That part came with the GPS receiver.

Denis,
There is a gel cover for the Dakota now, maybe Garmin will add that to the Oregon accessory list as well.
