I hope this review helps

I hadn’t realized that there was such a product until I was looking for other (rack & seat post mounting) accessories for my Garmin radar. But I am glad it exists since I sometimes worry losing the expensive radar on rides. The product is simple & cheap but it serves the purpose, & gives me confidence about the radar staying on the bike.Why did you pick this product vs others?:it was the only one I saw of its kindValue for money:inexpensive, simple, offers confidence that my radar won’t be lost

I purchased the Varia radar unit about two years ago. Love it, and wouldn’t ride without it. But I’ve always been concerned about the security of the Garmin mount using an O ring to attach the mount to the seat post. I Searched high and low to find something better, but haven’t been able to find anything that fits my “D” shaped seat post. Alternatively, In lieu of a better mount I’ve been searching for a way to secure the unit.Finally, I found this product! It checks all the boxes. It provides security, knowing that if the mount fails the unit will be saved by the tether. Performance does not seem to be affected. The tether attaches the unit to the saddle rails. Just be sure to let it dangle before you attach the unit to the mount. You want to make sure it doesn’t hang so low that it gets caught in the wheel should it fall off.A very small amount to pay for the piece of mind knowing that your $200 radar unit won’t be lost on a ride.

Came with no instructions. I tried to fit it incorrectly and was about to return it. Then, I saw the video online and decided to keep it. It fits well, and the string gives extra security.

I purchased this to protect my Garmin RTL515. The plastic is harder and provides a shell like covering. It does not obstruct the lights, buttons, or charging port and was very easy to install. I like that it includes a lanyard. I run the lanyard through part of my bike seat mount and then run the Garmin through that. This creates a loop. If something happens and my Garmin falls off the mount, then it will be secured by the lanyard. While that will likely never happen, it makes me feel more confident that my Garmin RTL515 is protected two different ways.

This is exactly what is needed to protect my Garmin Varia RTL515 from damage, either from rattling loose while riding or from dropping it while mounting/removing it from my bike. This cover fits perfectly and the lanyard secures the unit to my seat rails as insurance. The cost is reasonable and I'm happy with my purchase. I highly recommend it.

Garmin Varia locks into this holder and the holder tethers to the seat rails. Simple but nice quality product that does exactly what I wanted.

This is a must to protect your item. The string is a must in case it falls off the bike.
