4.0 out of 5 stars Genuine Leather Case for Nikon Coolpix 5700, May 10, 2003

The camera fits snugly inside the padded leather case. I slide the camera in backwards with the lens pointing up. The coiled camera strap fits alongside the lens. There is a zippered compartment in the front that will hold two spare batteries. Another zippered compartment in the lid will hold two spare memory cards. There is small mesh pocket on the lid that is good for temporarily storing the lens cap. The lid closes with an adjustable plastic buckle. If it's tightened all the way it slides over the sides with no gap. If the buckle is loosened there is a gap, but also enough extra room to allow the camera to fit with a lens attachment. The case comes with a strap and a belt loop. The belt loop doesn't look very substantial. I will be relying on the strap instead. The Nikon name is on the round plastic oval on the front of the bag. The camera fills the bag nicely so if you planned on hiding your lunch in there too you will be disappointed.

Bit of a ... tatty little bag. When closed the top allows space around the sides for water/grit/gunge to get in. Not an appropriate bag for your expensive 5700. Try the Lowepro range instead - altogether a better class of bag.

If you're looking for a good snug fitting case for the 5700, this is it. It's a tight fit, but holds the camera and strap. There is room in the top inside pocket for a card or other item and the front pocket has quite a bit of room for a extra battery or other misc accessories. Belt loop seems robust and the rings for the strap is sewn into a nylon strap that goes all the way around the bottom. This is perfect for when I just want to carry the camera and move fast and light.
As to the turning on in the case. I suppose this would be a problem if I didn't consistantly turn the camera off and the switch to review. If the camera is switched on accidently, the lens won't extend. Simple solution that one should always use regardless of the case.
I imagine this will fit the new Nikon 8700 as well.
There seems to be two models of this case floating around out there. (especially on ebay) The one pictured above is the best. The other seems to be lacking some pockets and features.
