Denis,

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

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.

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

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.
