Great compact camera bag. Pick a bright color and you can find it in even the deepest bag/purse. I've bought them for family to help them maintain their compact camera's pristine appearance. Because cameras are so small we really have to take better care of them, when they're not slung on our wrists put them in this case - it keeps the safe and has a mesh side that you can stash battery/extra cards in - though the mesh is not compact...so you'll need something else to hold what you are putting there - in otherwords its roomy for a camera case.

I ordered this for my FLIP Mino. However, I was mistaken to think this was specific for the MINO, so it is a very loose fit, not what I wanted. A generic pouch. However, the vendor did ship this fast and the piuch is very good quality. I will keep it to use for something else.

I have the Cannon SD1100 IS and it fit perfectly inside this case. I took the case on a 9 day trip to London, it was small enough to fit in my small messenger bag when not in use (traveling on Tube etc) but as soon as we were on the street I clipped it onto my belt loop and had my camera handy, but protected at all times. The Velcro strap keeps the camera in place. Would recommend this case.

The item they sent wasn't the color I ordered. Not a big deal, but the inside of the case seemed rough (scratchy) and I was concerned that it would scratch the lens on my flip mino. I ended up giving it to my nephew for his phone.

This little case is ruff and tuff. It securely holds the Flip Mino inside with a Velcro strap. It's very handy. In red it is easy to find.

This camera case wasn't exactly what I was looking for, unfortunately it's sometimes hard to tell from an image. In the end I never used the case because I needed something which could be maneuvered with one hand. You see, I was going on a horse-riding trip and wanted to be able to take pictures while on horse back. I needed to be able to easily remove the camera and put it back with one hand.

Pros:
It's seems well constructed and would definitely provide more protection to your camera (though it's definitely not crush proof). The ballistic nylon is nice too. Choosing a bright color makes the bag easier to spot.

Cons:
It's not built for any particular camera, it's just a rectangular shape which happens to be big enough for a lot of point and shoot cameras. I think the carabiner is a nice touch, but not so sure about it from a practical perspective because it would definitely swing around if connected to jeans or a backpack, say while walking on a hike. From that kind of motion, I could imagine a lot of twisting on the hard-rubber connection point, and I'm dubious of its durability. The mesh pouch doesn't have a closure nor is it snug fitting. Also, because the shell is hinged from the bottom, if you open the case when it's attached via the carabiner *without being careful* it is very likely that items would fall out of the pouch. Why? The mesh pouch is on the lid and its opening points downwards when the lid is flipped open.

One reason why I purchased this case combo was because of the LCD screen protector. It turned out to be worthless. After I pulled the backing off I saw that the whole sheet of plastic had streaks through it, like it was a problem with the manufacturing process.

I give it a four-star rating because I think it could be a good case, but it just didn't fit my needs. I think the carabiner could cause problems over the years or discomfort while in use because of swinging. The quality of the screen protector was terrible.

The only reason why I keep this is because it's good case to store the camera while traveling, like in a suitcase. But once I'm at the destination I use an old OP/Tech case which I had lying around:
OP/Tech 8403124 Medium Neoprene Pouch - Blue

I purchased the flip Video and was prompted to consider the carry case which, at 9.95, I thought was worth it. Green wristband was random landfill frankly. Surprised to find I was slugged about 40 for the shipping and even more surprised to see the very same carrying case in my local discount store for 4.95. mmmmm. Buyer beware.

I purchased this case to keep the Mino inside of a large purse. The case is protective and has a clip which I attach to the inside of a bag.

The profile seems a bit large for the Mino, but since it is spacious, the Mino gets great protection from other items in my purse. And the clip on function really makes me feel safer becasue I never close my purse.

Color options are great too.

Great carrying case for my new Flip Video Mino. Velcro strap holds it securely inside of case and padded case protects my Flip Video.

It was a great purchase, before the zipper broke two weeks in. It can be fixed, by sliding the zipper back and forth a few times, but then breaks again. This defeats the purpose, no? Not recommended. Spend a little more and get a nicer carrying case.
