I have a Garmin 12 which I still use a great deal, although I now use a Garmin 72 on water; it's water-resistant and it floats... At times I use a hardshell case for the 12 and this works fine. However, to use the unit I have to open the case to get to it and this compromises the function of the case. Also, depending on the box, some of those clamps are very difficult to open. I have one DIve Box with a transparent lid which helps but I still have to open it... I've done much better with a Seal Line Dry bag (not the cases made for GPSs). I can see the screen nicely through it and I can maneuver the unit and manipulate buttons without having to open the bag.
