I was on a look-out for a case for my Casio Exilim EX-Z40. This was one of the cases that I considered. I managed to find one in a local store. Can this even be called a case? The best way I can describe it is "an oversized clip made to clip around your camera and to your belt". It is two pieces of cardboard or plastic wrapped in cloth, held together by rubberized bands. I would not trust my camera to stay in it, it also includes a spare cardboard/plastic piece, which you can stick into it with your camera, my guess is to thicken it up, and make it harder for the camera to fall out. The top of the camera is always exposed.

Overall, I would not recommend, unless this is up your alley.

I did find a case, it is made by Digital Concepts. I don't think Amazon carries it yet. Its full name is "Digital Hard Shell Camera Bag". It was about fiveteen dollars at the local Ritz camera store. It is zipper all around, belt loop, and about as small as it gets for this camera. If you can, try it before you buy it, it is a really snug fit, if you need to carry a battery or any other accesory besides an extra memory card, it will not fit in that case.

DO NOT BUY THIS. I bought this case without reading any reviews and found out the hard way that this case is not practical to protect 300$ camera.

1. No cover to keep the camera secure (You don't want to loose your 300$ camera with a 15$case.

2. This case doesn't cover the camera all the way this causes one side of the camera exposed to rain etc.. and if you drop it you can damage the camera.

3. Belt clip is open on one side for easy clipping which can make the clip to easily fall of as well

Bottom line "Don't buy this"

I thought it was a good idea to get a case that can clip onto my belt, but the case kept falling off. One time I actually found my camera on the ground with the case still clipped to my belt. If you want to lose your camera and/or the case, then get it. My case is now floating in a lake somewhere. Luckily, I moved the camera to my shirt pocket before the case fell off.

I own the Casio Exilim Z4U. This case is too big for the camera and the clip isn't as good as other clips I've seen and used. I am much happier using an iPod case to carry my camera as it fits much better.

This little case is very convenient since you can clip it on to your waist, pocket, purse, etc. It does not close by zipper, but it is such a snug fit when you place your camera in it, you do not have to worry about it falling out. I prefer this to a zip case because I like the clip feature and I don't have to fumble to use it quickly. The case has quick and easy access to the camera. I recommend it for those who wish to frequently pull out their camera and have it readily accessable to snap pictures.

The product doesn't show a picture of the back of the product. In the back, this product has a huge belt holster very heavy and inconvenience. It takes a lot of space. Therefore the product wasn't what I was looking for. It is not practical

I see some negative reviews, and I don't share the same feelings.

Its not the usual standard case, and it should be obvious due to its design that it emphasizes easy access over complete protection.

Think of it like a holster on your belt....I grab the wrist strap, pull the cam out of the holster, and I snap away. No other design allows you to take pics this quickly and easily. No fuss, no fidgeting.

I believe it DOES prevent scratches, most importantly to the LCD, but probably to all of it. Despite some of the camera being exposed, the exposed body is still recessed into the case, so it would take an unnatural occurrence for a scratch to happen on the exposed area.....and I would bet it protects against a drop about as well as any other average case.

It will NOT protect in rain, so it this is your reason for a case, LOOK ELSEWHERE. The design alone should make it OBVIOUS its not for water protection.

ALSO, my Casio ex-Z750 fits very snug, so, at least in my situation, I can't see it falling out. I can hold it upside down and shake, and it stays there....a thinner camera may not hold as well, so thats a notable reason for caution.

Mine fell apart. The clip's pin must have snapped and slid out, because if that's not the case, then they designed the case very very poorly. Last week I almost lost my camera after not hearing the case fall off, and went hysterical. (It later turned up.) You'd figure name brand stuff would have some quality. After dealing with the thing falling apart and putting it back together, and over again, I finally lost the little metal pieces the last time it fell off my belt, and now I'm in the market for a new case. I really liked this one because it attached to the belt and was designed to complement my Exilim Z-70. I initially liked it so much, that I might give it another chance. Caveat Emptor.

Like the title said, for the price and the design of this product, it is just whatevers. If you are thinking about it, google imagine it and see if the design really makes much sense.

The EX-CASE3 holds my Casio camera securely, and the camera has never dislodged itself without my help. I don't often make use of the belt clip on the back, so I would prefer if the clip were removed and the whole case was made slimmer. However, the clip has stayed tight for the years I've had it, so I can't complain.
