4.0 out of 5 stars
Well-made, but too thick with camera inside, June 15, 2009
This review is from: Case Logic PSL-16 Compact Sport Camera Case (Purple) (Electronics)
I carry my Canon Powershot camera nearly everywhere I go, and usually in my pocket, so I needed something without a lot of bulk yet that still protected my camera.
PROS: I've always been a fan of Case Logic quality, and this case is no exception. It's quite well made, with strong reinforced stitching and several unique features. I particularly like the elastic sides that hold my camera snug. The large caribiner clip would be perfect for someone wanting to carry this on a belt loop or bag. Additionally, the Velcro flaps that hold down the clip when not in use can also be attached to a belt or shoulder strap. The fabric is a rugged, water-shedding nylon(?) similar to my beloved Eastpak bags. The overall look isn't imposing, and could easily be carried by a man, woman or teen.
CONS: While the case is slim, the cover flap, clip and Velcro almost double the overall thickness, which overrides the small size of my camera -- one of its greatest features. Even though my camera is thin, I had to pull the cover flap down firmly to entirely cover up the "hook" part of the Velcro (the part that always snags on things!) Unfortunately, the added tension of doing so made the cover flap stick outward even further, adding to the overall bulk as well as making it more prone to catching on objects and being pulled open. That could have easily been solved by a longer flap or a narrower Velcro hook section.
In the end, I took a seam ripper and carefully removed the top flap, including the clip, and also the hook Velcro piece. What I was left with was the front and back of the case and the elastic sides, and now it's perfect! I no longer have a flap over the end of the camera, but it now facilitates easy, quick access yet still offers protection to my LCD screen. I had to modify it a bit to suit my unique needs, but overall this is an excellent camera case!

Good quality. Does not fit some cameras, November 9, 2008
This review is from: Case Logic PSL-16 Compact Sport Camera Case (Purple) (Electronics)
I like the velcro straps. But it does not fit my Samsung TL34HD camera. I have to force it to make it fit.

Perfect case for digital camera, February 4, 2009
This review is from: Case Logic PSL-16 Compact Sport Camera Case (Purple) (Electronics)
This is an excellent choice (nice but not expensive) for a digital camera. I bought it for my teenage daughter and she loved it.
