I'm in the contruction field and have to take pictures from time to time. I bought a Sony T9 digital because of it's size and it's 6 magapix. It cost alot of money and needed to be protected and the Sony LCS-CSG soft case was the right move. It covers the whole camera and has a soft lining to protect the large viewing screen. I wish it had a spare pocket for an extra battery or storage.

The image shown is incorrect (it's stretched). The case is a bit big for the DSC-T9. I figured one can just put the memory stick or spare battery inside with the camera, but the label specifically tells you not to do that. I bought it as a gift to match the camera, but personally I would have purchased an aftermarket case that fits better and can hold a memory stick. The leather looks nice.

A week ago, I ordered a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50/B from Amazon.com. Investing in a $450 camera was no easy decision for me to make, however, and I was kind of disappointed that this camera does not come with a carrying case. (although the $600 James Bond version available on the Sony website does include a carrying case)

The tough thing with buying cameras online, however, is that there is really no guarantee that the case you buy will be a good fit for your camera. The online reviews on Amazon.com didn't help me any, and I had a tough time making a choice. Fortunately, this case happened to be on sale, and it arrived at my mailbox two days later.

After trying this case on my camera, I was left with mixed feelings, due to some cons which I hadn't expected at the time of the purchase. The DSC-T50 camera itself is quite small, small enough that I feel more comfortable holding it with one hand rather than two. The case, however, is a bit wider than I would like it to be, and just makes my camera look big and clunky when it's in the case.

Don't get me wrong; there are good features about this product as well, at least many more than the bad ones. This case itself is a nearly perfect fit for the DSC-T50 (and the DSC-T30, for that matter). Although the exterior of the case is made of leather that is a bit hard for my liking, the interior is well-designed and has not made any marks on my LCD display - something especially important to the DSC-T50, which has touchscreen capabilities.

And a seemingly unnecessary feature for most made this case necessary, at least for me. On the back of this case, there are two slits, obviously for attaching the case to a belt. This has made my camera much more available whenever I need it, without the risk of getting it dropped or scratched. I have ordered the LCJ-THA carrying case - a case exclusively designed for the DSC-T30 - as well, but my love for the LCS-CSG is enough for me to not return it to Amazon.com. As of now, the case is on my belt, and it will probably stay there for a long time.

Overall, a great deal for the money, does all that it promises. Recommended.

To owners of the DSC-T30 or DSC-T50: this case is a great fit for your camera. If you're looking for a case that attaches to your belt, look no further.

This case is obviously NOT made of leather, let alone "soft genuine leather." It is clearly made of some kind of very stiff PVC vinyl. You can tell by lifting and examining the stitched covering that is folded over inside the flap. There is no evidence of any cowhide even though the tag inside says, "Made in China" and "Material: 100% piel bovino." I believe that translates to "skin of cow" but I repeat, this product is widely and FALSELY ADVERTISED as leather. The result is, you're paying as much as thirty dollars for a case that looks and feels like it's made from rare Chinese Vinyl Cows. Could this explain its recent price drop? Incidentally, this case does happen to fit the Sony DSC-T50 quite well, hence my promotion to 2 stars.

Bought this with my Sony DSCW170. High quality, works well. Easily attaches to my belt and makes my camera portable and available. This is the 3rd one that I have bought... my kids in college keep getting my cameras...

This camera case is sooo perfect!! the leather, the style... oh boy, i love it! I bought this case for my Casio Exilim EX 60 and it fits perfectly. I dont care if it's not casio, cos i cant find a good camera case by casio. and i'm totally satisfied for sure...

We wanted a case for our camera that was light weight and would protect the camera. Very easy business transaction and delivered fast.

Nicely made, well padded and a perfect fit for the DSC-T1.

The leather case was shipped and received quickly and as described. Very satisfied with the transaction although the case is a bit bulkier than expected but functional.

This case is a very good deal at this price, I paid close to $50 for mine 2 years ago and it still looks new. I also see the only bad thing is it does not have extra room for batteries and extra memory cards. Other then that its a great case for the money! Jim Thomas Etiwanda Calif.
