FYI - I'd highly recommend a Garmin/computer case to prevent screen breakage

Just posting this to hopefully prevent anyone else from doing what I just did this morning.

Finished my bike ride, and was holding my Garmin Edge in my hand. Fiddled with my keys, and dropped it on the floor from like chest height.Cracked the screen! It’s still usable, but I’m not sure how much I’d like to rely on that in a big long ride where it’s my key navigation and recording device.

I can’t help but strongly feel that if I had at least some sort of a case around it, it would have had a better chance at survival without a break. I’m actually going to order something rubberized to put on it right now, hopefully to keep the screen from breaking apart mid-ride!

I used to wonder why people had rubberized cases on their Edges since they’re already affixed to the bike mount, now I know…
