2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Case, December 12, 2008

It fits the HDR-TG1 perfectly so it does a great job of protecting the camcorder while in your backpack. But the magnetic flip top opens too easily, risking the camcorder with free fall if you happen to hold the case upside down. And it is not that obvious which side is up...
It has a belt loop but no other type of attachment, so you cannot attach it to anything other than, well, your belt. Very limited in usability.

5.0 out of 5 stars Luxury feel to match the Sony TG1 & TG5V cameras, August 29, 2009

This is a very stylish case to match the tiny Sony TG1 & TG5V cameras. The dark brown leather is a nice change from the usual black and gives it a richer feel that is further enhanced by the brushed stainless accents on the sides and flap. My TG5V fits snugly and the case is semi hard which should provide decent protection. The interior is lined with something like moleskin rather than the usual felt which again contributes to a feeling of quality. In all, the case is well matched to the camera in style and quality.

However, my case will mostly be used for storage and transport in a suitcase. In use, the case as sleek as it is, adds enough bulk that the camera will no longer fit in a pocket comfortably unless you're wearing cargo pants. And that was one of the big draws of the TG5V for me. That means you're left with the belt loop to hold the camera on your hip which cam be uncomfortable for me and exposes the camera to theft given the light touch magnetic catch on the case and it looks a little nerdy as well. For most occasions, I will carry the camera in a little black drawstring bag that came with my Nikon flash. It fits perfectly, adds almost no bulk, and protects from scratches if not drops. The drawstring makes for a quick extraction from a pocket as well.

Strong enough to protect the camcorder. The magnetic flap is also a good idea to open and close the case although a times flips in such a way that I think it will open and drop the contents. This was a great buy for the camcorder!
