GPS Armband Instead of Mount

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before but I can't seem to find an answer. Does anyone know of an armband that will fit a Garmin Nuvi 200? I would rather ride with my gps on my arm than mounted to the handlebar.

Aerostich sells a forearm map case that may work. (p. 73 of the newest catalog)

Be careful of armbands. If you're carrying something of any thickness (i.e. the GPS in an armband) and take a fall, it makes a good impact point. As a raised impact point it is a prime place for a bone to snap over...

It's one reason we tend not to carry our Toll Road devices as they can't be safely mounted and raise the risk of breaking arms, if carried on an armband.
