2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Way Over-Priced, November 14, 2008

This case is definitely way over-priced. Very flimsy and not nearly as convenient as the cases we all used to get for our 35mm cameras. This one secures with velcro, not a snap, and it doesn't fit well. Can't flip the cover off the lens to quickly take a shot the way you could with the nicer semi-hard cases.

It's fine for offering minimal protection to throw the camera in a backpack without having to take the entire camera bag, and it will keep the dust off your camera when it's sitting around out of the bag, but this is not a high-quality, highly functional item by any means. Very disappointed.

Case offers very limited protection but does a great job of keeping the dust off your camera. This case works well for me but then I store the camera and one lens in this case and put them in a large camera case when transporting.

Way too bulky. Does not seem to offer too much protection. Hard to handle.
