The Canon SD800IS I bought didn't come with a case, and my backpacking trip to Yosemite put enough abuse on the camera that I decided to get a case (I had the camera by itself in a pants pocket). I actually bought the case in a store (gasp!) instead of online, so I compared five models in the Lowepro Rezo line.

This one has the requirements and no more:

* Nice padding, so it should hold up to anything short of bone-breaking accidents.
* The camera fits in its pocket nice and snug, so it doesn't bounce or slide around.
* The front pocket can hold a spare battery or two. Update: it would have been nice if this pocket had a elastic opening, since anything in it can slide out when the case is open; for example, if you remove the camera and then drop the open case back in a bag, you might find your spare battery at the bottom of the bag instead of where you left it.
* There is a removable neck/shoulder strap; it seems pretty lightweight, but the combination of camera and case will be well under a pound, so it is probably adequate.
* Crucial: the belt loop on the back is sturdy, but can be unsnapped (it uses a clever combo of velcro and a snap to keep it secure). Because it can be unsnapped, it can be attached to my backpack's waistbelt without my having to unthread the entire belt -- which would be a major chore.

Other comments:
* Some of the other Rezo models have stitched-on belt loops, which would make it very annoying to add it to a waistbelt of something like a backpack or hydration daypack. The Rezo 15 and 50 both have the good kind, the 10, 20 and 30 have the bad kind.
* The description touts the zippered main and front compartments: but *this* model has no zippers whatsoever. A single flap goes over the back camera compartment and the smaller front accessory pocket, and closes with a big patch of velcro. Also: no gussets. I think they are describing the Rezo 50, which is a bit bigger. I thought the Rezo 50 was nice but bigger than I needed, and the other three had the deal-breaker fixed beltloop.
* There's no room in this thing for a charger, if you were hoping for a big enough case for all your accessories. You probably couldn't even jam a USB cable in there.

UPDATE: the key feature of this product is its ability to attach to a belt without having to thread the belt through. And in this product's case, that is true if the belt is *horizontal*, e.g., a hipbelt on a backpack. But if you want to put your camera (or GPS, etc., I suppose) on a *vertical* strap, such as up on the shoulder strap of a backpack, then take a look at the Mountainsmith Cyber II case and it's kin. Those can be *threaded* on a belt, or attached to a vertical strap without threading. Other than that distinction, the two product lines seem to be equivalent.

I really like this camera case. My Nikon Coolpix 5100 didn't come with a case and the Lowepro Rezo 15 fits it nice & snug. I'm a bit of a clutz and this allows me to not worry about my camera. It has good padding for protection and the velcro flap is nice & strong so the camer stays in place. I've never used the strap that came with it. I 'm not really a fan of belt loops, but the one on this case is pretty convenient. It's sturdily built and has a strong velcro closure which allows me to take it on & off without having to take off my belt. I've never used the shoulder/neck strap that came with it, so I can't vouch for that.

Perfect. Just what I wanted. I use it all the time. Fits the f31fd perfectly. Carries an extra memory card. Protects the camera well. Shoulder strap carry is what I like, but also has a belt carry loop. My quest for the correct case for the f31fd stops here. It's the one.

This case is small, just big enough for the camera There is no room for a spare battery. Our cameras a Canon 870is and a Canon S95 fit perfectly in this. We have a case for each of them. The older case is about 5 years old and still looks and works great. The new one is identical and works great. The velcro lasts a long time and makes it easy to whip it out and take a fast picture with it. The older case has been all over the world with us and it's really held up.
The picture on here I think shows a spare SD card in the case. I use a 16GB Lexar Pro card which can hold like 8,000 pictures so I don't carry a spare card.
I highly reccomend this case.

This is an extremely well-made, well-designed little camera case. I bought it for my S95 based on some of the reviews here. To be honest, it's a little bit tight: the camera is snug in its compartment, and it bulges a little with an extra battery, I might have liked it to be a *TINY* bit bigger.... But it's OK. The velcro strap still closes, securing both camera and battery in the case, and it attaches securely to my backpack chest strap, so now my camera can truly always be with me and easily accessible ....

Granted, I just got it, but at the moment: Very impressed.

I just picked up this Lowepro Rezo 15 Camera Case (Black) for my Canon S95. It's a snug fit with the S95. I choose this case since I wanted something which allowed me to access the camera quickly, that requirement eliminated all the cases with zipper camera compartments from consideration. The Rezo 15 has velcro flap so you can quickly and easily access the camera. It also has a velcro + button attached belt holders so you can attach this case to your belt without having to take your belt off. A neck strap is also included. The only improvement I'd suggest to LowePro is to make the smaller pocket on the front of the case zippable so the contents don't accidentally fall out.

I own a Powershot 800. I like the material and the fit. The only thing that irks me is that the small pouch that fits an extra battery or media card doesn't have a zipper or velcro closure. Things slip out pretty easily and you can lose a card or drop a battery (which I did and dented it).

This is my fourth LowePro camera case. Every time I purchase a new camera, I research the best case for that particular camera and I always seem to come back to LowePro for their functionality and value. In this particular model, I especially like the velcro and button-snap combination for the belt loop because it allows me to not only secure it to my belt, but also to the main strap of any messenger bag or backpack that I might be carrying. The button-snap makes a nice "lock" for the velcro tab which is already substantial in itself. Overall, the case may be slightly bulkier than others, but the added protection padding is good insurance against accidental falls. If you want a slimmer profile to fit in a briefcase, purse, or pocket, consider the Lowepro Napoli 10.

It would've been nice to have a zippered main compartment to protect against light rain showers, but the Lowepro Rezo 20 manages that with dual zippers in a slightly larger case. In this Rezo 15 model, there are no zippers but the top flap in the closed position overlaps the sides by roughly 1/2" so there's a little protection from the elements.

I bought this case on Amazon for my brand new Canon SD 800 IS. It's a well-constructed, durable, and protective case that I would recommend for anyone with a Canon Digital Powershot series camera.

My SD 800 fits extremely well in the case, with no chance of bouncing around in there. Despite what some other reviews say about a "snug fit," the camera slides in quite easily.

I would recommend this case over the Canon-made leather case for the following reasons:
- There's an extra pouch for memory cards/batter/etc.
- The belt loop can be opened up by releasing the button buckle and the velcro attachment. This works better than having to slide the loop through your entire belt to get it where you want.
- The padding is more substantial all around the case and there's less likelihood of dust/dirt getting in.
- The velcro-attached top flap will not scratch your camera LCD when you put in our take our your camera.

I gave it 4-stars because the case is actually a little wider than it appears in the product image, resulting in a little more bulk than the Canon leather case.

I bought the case based on the reviews believing it would be ideal for carrying my Canon S100. However, while it's reasonably well padded, it's too small for the camera. Getting the camera in and out takes two hands, one to hold the camera, the other to hold the case. And the cover flap's velcro pad just meets case pad when the accessory pocket is empty. I do not recommend this case for the S100 camera.
