Lowepro refreshes its GPS collection with two new and protective designs sized for 5.0-inch screen models and purpose built to add convenience while using and organizing navigation devices.

(Sebastopol, CA, October 1, 2010) – Lowepro, the leading brand of protective gear for photography equipment and portable electronics, unveils two new protective cases, specially designed for 5.0-inch screen GPS devices: the 5.0 Navi™ Dash and 5.0 Navi™ Sleeve.

"Our GPS collection was a big hit when we launched it several months ago — consumers appreciated the protective and inventive construction of a Lowepro-designed GPS case ," said Treg Tyler, Lowepro worldwide marketing director. "Now, we're quickly responding to the growing popularity of large-screen 5.0 devices, and offering real innovation in these latest products," he added.

The 5.0 Navi Dash provides an easy-to-use solution for protecting a GPS device while in use and when stored. Constructed of cushioned and protective neoeprene, it unfolds to reveal an all-in-one design. Its inventive mounting system adheres the case to most automotive dashboards — handy in regions which prohibit windshield mounts. The weighted base features a non-slip, silicone rubber facing. Two cord ports allow a GPS device to charge while its in the case.

The 5.0 Navi Sleeve offers an ultra-compact profile in a protective design also crafted of cushioned neoprene. It includes a convenient, built-in microfiber cloth to clean the large LCD screen of a 5.0 GPS device.

The 5.0 Navi Dash and 5.0 Navi Sleeve are available in Black. For more information about the GPS collection and other products, please visit www.lowepro.com
