Garmin 810 back case - cheapest place to get one?

Andy Magic · 2016-10-02 14:38:13

I was out on the bike this morning over some terrible road surface and the back case of my garmin decided to break free from the out front mount. I've done a quick google and I can see them for 42 euro but is there anywhere cheaper to get one?

Cheers yeah I just saw this, the installation video isn't great, they show him glue'ing it on but then mention the screams, how do you know your not damaging it more by putting two screws into the back of it, would this not remove the water resistance.

I've noticed Ebay are selling them used at a cheaper rate, this looks idk it's my only option

Maybe I wasn't clear in my post. It's the mounting tabs that are broken at the back of the device, this is it:
