Cradle Kit Accessory Compatible with Garmin inReach Messenger Plus Satellite Communicator - GPS System Accessories

Very well and it fits the Garmin device perfectly

This is expensive for a few pieces of plastic but all fit and function well. The attached lanyard/carabiner loop can stay with the case when the other pieces are attached. All pieces seem to be well designed.

Good fit

Works perfectly for keeping the Garmin messenger attached to your person similar to the InReach. Great product.

Same as another reviewer…used the webbing with carabiner and the webbing just pulled right out of the plastic. I had my InReach attached to the top of my pack so I can always keep it on and use my watch to comm with it. Took my pack off and grabbed the device to take the carabiner off my pack after a trail and the cradle just pulled right off the webbing. It looks like it barely attached and would not trust it to hold this expensive life saving device. I am convinced had I snagged a tree or something on the trail that my device would have just pulled off and I would have lost it. It’s a pass for me in this thing. Garmin needs to make one that can be trusted.

Works great. The only true option for mounting a Messenger to anything. 6 stars. There is a slight chance the cradle could get knocked off the slide lock clip. If it would be a future issue I’ll just glue it permanently

Glad someone finally made this! It turns a very awkward device into something I no longer think about. Survived Tour Divide without even hinting at coming loose

My unit this snaps to hasn't arrived yet, so for now this review focuses on what is in this package. Photos provided. The nice thing about this design is is it is similar to a Tusita kit I already have for my Garmin GPSMap 67i which has a standard garmin handheld mount back. The inReach Mini also has the same back side shape with a Garmin-provided adapter (with its velcro mount kit). The cradle case converts the small Garmin Messenger (and plus) to a standard Garmin handheld mount to unify mounting options. Then you can mount it to RAM 1" ball tracks, a backpack strap, or a belt using Tusita's standard mount accessories, of which this kit supplies three for basically any use case. Plus it has a carabiner that looks a lot like the one Garmin provides but is all black (prettier), So overall this is an excellent kit for a lot of mounting flexibility for the Garmin Messenger series. You can also use Garmin's own handheld mounts with the case. (Shown in the third photo -- this velcro mount is NOT included in this kit.) It even reprints the SOS instruction that it would otherwise obscure. Very well thought out. The only thing it is missing is a tether cord to attach the device to the mount or somewhere on the pack if you were to remove it from the snap-in case. It has a place to attach a tether (where the carabiner slides in), but you may also want to tether it directlt to the pack for extra security. I've actually lost an inReach device on a trail and had to go back and find it (which I did). So I appreciate these kinds of aftermarket accessories to help secure them. Velcro simply isn't enough.
