TUSITA Silicone Case Compatible with Garmin Varia RTL510 RTL515

I had a costly experience with my previous radar - I lost it to a faulty seat-mounted, 3D-printed, quarter turn mount that snapped mid-ride and when I reaslised the radar was gone and I went back to where it stopped transmitting, someone had taken it. That radar wasn't in a case and unlike the Edge head unit, there's no built-in eyelet on the Varia RTL515 for threading a lanyard. That was an expensive mistake. Hence my reason for investing in this good value case. The radar fits snugly into this silicone case, and the case wraps around the radar without impeding its radar function or visibility of the light from the rear or sides. I prefer this silicone case to another hard case I saw, because if I happened to drop my radar in this case, the silicone would cushion the fall, whereas I'd be worried the radar may pop out of the hard case. My only suggestion to Tusita is to replace the included non-stretch lanyard with an elasticated one like the two that come with the Garmin Edge computer. The elasticated lanyard allows me to stretch the cord over my seat and down the seat post, so that if it did come loose, it would just bounce around the seat tube and I'd quickly notice it knocking into my leg. This is a really well-designed, well-made product to protect an expensive bit of Garmin kit (aren't they all?). I highly recommend it! BTW, the 'Brightness' and 'Battery life' rating categories on the Amazon review are not applicable to a silicone case!

Fits the RCT715 like a glove, easy to take off and on to allow cleaning of the lighting unit. Handy tether loop which allows a backup if the cycle mount should fail?

It works the product it is protecting is worth hundreds

Excellent, functions as described, but let down by flimsy rubber band mounting doesn’t inspire confidence it would stay put so purchased separate clip on mount

Good fit

Neat and tidy. Fitted the radar unit very well and have a useful lanyard to ensure they stay connected to the bike. Has a little rubber door for access to the charge point. Well worth a try.

I bought a Garmin Varia for my wife and wanted a protector, I chose a supplier with good reviews and received the goods promptly, we'll packaged and the quality is very good, a very happy wife

At last we're able to attach a safety leash
