First the technical stuff, the case is made of plastic, ethylene-vinyl acetate actually, which is a form of soft thermoplastic, including recycled materials, so you could say you are doing your bit for the environment. The outer covering is hardwearing Nylon.
The carry case comes complete with a wrist strap, although personally I would not trust it. It has an improved zip, apparently the old one was prone to jamming. The picture Ciao have put up is of the old model, the new one is very similar, just a little more subtle.
These cases are a good idea for keeping dust and scratches at bay, however, it may have been a better idea if the case was fitted with belt loops, so you could carry it on your belt, or a strap like binoculars have, rather than risk it slipping out of your pocket, or even leaving it in the car. The downside ...
Advantages: Feature rich, easy to use, bluetooth to your phone for handsfree Disadvantages: Doesn't have the community features that TomTom has.
I've had the Navigon 7110 for well over a year, and as my 1st Sat-Nav I have to say I've been extremely impressed.
I researched the market before buying, delving into forums, countless reviews and reached the conclusion that a TOMTOM = p*ss-poor. I found the Navigon and it was a breath of fresh air, it was the only sat nav that looked really really stylish (then).
The 7110 has europe maps, and the 7100 has UK and Ireland maps, there is a £30 price difference between them.
Not only did it look stylish, but it had features to match:

When your driving on a motorway it shows a 3d view of what lane you should be in (shown on the main image above..) - A bit gimmicky but remarkably handy when you decide to drive on english motorways (I'm from scotland and we only have 2 and a half motorways ...

Advantages: protects your GPS from falling and sratches Disadvantages: bag too small
I bought my TomTom Go Deluxe CaseGPS at £25 and i was very happy with it because it was just the amount i never wanted to go above. Its a nice bag because it holds your GPS safely and with just the comfort and it reduces the risk for you to scratch the GPS or damage it in case it falls down. The bag has got other spaces for your other items like ID, Credit cards and best of it is that its got belt on it to hang across your shoulder and chest. This bag is just what you will want to protect your GPS with. The problem it has is that the bag is not too big enough for the GPS because it is too tight inside and difficult to take out at some points. Highly recommended for ever user. ...
