5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent leather case for your SD500, SD550 or other similar cameras!, April 7, 2006

This review is from: Canon PSC-55 Deluxe Leather Compact Case for SD430, SD500, SD550, SD600, SD630, SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850 IS, SD900,SD950IS & SD870IS 300 HS , 100 HS Canon Digital Cameras models (Electronics)

This case is perfect for my SD550 or any similar sized camera. My camera fits snug and it's the least bulky case I've come across. One drawback however: Since it is optimized to be as slim as possible there is NO room for an additional memory card or battery. This poses no problem for me as I only use this case to carry the camera in my pocket. All accessories are in my large camera bag.

Both the back and the front of this small case are designed with a hard stiff front and back designed to protect the LCD monitor. There are NO zippers to scratch the polished metal or LCD of your camera. The case opens with a velcro tab which holds the camera very securely.

One other case I would consider is the Lowepro D-Pod 10 which is slightly more bulky but does provide a bit more protection. I have both and use both depending on the amount of protection desired. My dad owns only the PSC-55 as it provides plenty of protection for him.

This is a very nice case and reasonably priced.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect fit, May 8, 2006

This review is from: Canon PSC-55 Deluxe Leather Compact Case for SD430, SD500, SD550, SD600, SD630, SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850 IS, SD900,SD950IS & SD870IS 300 HS , 100 HS Canon Digital Cameras models (Electronics)

This case is a perfect fit for my Canon SD700 IS. It doesn't have pockets or room for extra batteries and charger, but it slips right into my pocket or purse. The leather is soft and smooth, fit and finish is very good, and the hard front and back of the case provide a little extra protection for the camera. It does have a belt loop on the back that I will probably never use. Included in the package is a matching black leather wrist strap for the camera. If you want something small and sleek to protect the camera, not to carry a ton of accessories around in, I highly recommend the PSC-55.

1.0 out of 5 stars Current version of PSC-55 does not fit Canon SD870IS, January 25, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Canon PSC-55 Deluxe Leather Compact Case for SD430, SD500, SD550, SD600, SD630, SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850 IS, SD900,SD950IS & SD870IS 300 HS , 100 HS Canon Digital Cameras models (Electronics)

Just received this case from Amazon to hold a new Canon SD870IS (also from Amazon). This version of the PSC-55 case does *not* fit the SD870IS. The product description here doesn't match the actual product - the "new" version has a magnetic clasp vs. the Velcro closure (see description). Will be returning this case to Amazon.

Notes:
- I have a previous version of the PSC-55 (also purchased from Amazon, back in 2006) - and it fits my Canon SD630 *perfectly*.
- The 2006 version had the Velcro closure, which makes it so much easier to securely close the case. (You don't have to precisely align the little metal button with its magnet, as with the 2008 version.)
- I placed the two PSC-55 cases right next to each other: The 2008 version is narrower (top-to-bottom) and thicker (front-to-back).
- There is at least one other reviewer here who has noticed the same problem (with the SD870IS).
