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.

Bought this case for Yellowstone vacation, and loved it! The fact that it is so lightweight meant that it was easy to take on the long walks. It fit with either of the two lenses that I have. It has a place to snap it around your camera strap. Since it just hangs off your strap it is easy to quickly replace when you are getting splattered by Old Faithful. Considering what it is, it was very expensive. We had the case fall off a few times when the snap suddenly came undone. Sometimes you also had to fight to get it out of the way so you could get your shot. However, the protection it offered for the camera far outweighed the annoyances. It was worth it to us

Way over priced. This item would be priced at $14.88 if bought at Walmart.
