To form this metal, you can use pliers. I used a crusty rusty old metal forming clamp I bought from a jeweler who retired and closed his shop.

Just bend the metal so that it creates an open box like shape around the gps.

Then crimp the tips in a bit so that the gps sits snugly inside the shape, yet is easy enough to slide in and out with a little push.
