This camera case claims to be designed to fit the smallest digital cameras.
I own a casio slim camera, so thought this would be perfect for it to fit into, and it also had a few small compartments for carrying extra SD cards.
Low and behold when I recieved this I was surprised that it looked a lot bigger than expected, and when I put in my camera it was clear why.
I was a good 50% too big in all 3 dimensions. The camera instead of fitting securing and tightly, gets thrown about in this case. It is made of stretchy material, so I dont know why this was designed to be sooo large.
I guess when I means smallest digital cameras, It meant maybe 5 years ago, because it is not for current ones.
The small pocket at the front for sd cards actually is big enough to fit my camera in that, just to show how excessivly large this case is.
Nice material though, and shape is nice, but the size is way too big.

This is a no-frills “does what it says on the tin” camera case. It can only hold a fairly small p&s camera so check the dimensions. The material seems quite high quality and durable and I imagine it would give reasonable protection to a camera (Neoprene is supposed to be water proof to a degree). It comes with a useful writs strap and also has a belt loop, which is nice. The case could also be used for a GPS (though not a very large 4 inch screen model) or a smartphone. It has no branding and looks quite smart. I can’t help comparing it to my favoured brand, though, Lowepro, and I think with them you do get more – I particularly like their AW range with the clever fold-out rain/dust/sand cover. and their materials are better quality. But you do pay more for Lowepro. In conclusion – a nice little bag for the money.

I chose this product as I often like to film or take photos while out and about and it was marketted as a suitable holder for those types of device.
It is quite chunky. It is made of neoprene fabric and has a wide belt holder which you can undo which uses a velcro attachment to undo it which was my favourite thing about this case as it made it really easy to remove the whole holder, useful for when you first put it on your belt or when changing batteres/ cards where you need to have a good rummage.
It has two holder sections, and the front one is the one I used for the camera/ minicamcorder, and this pouch on the front reminded me a little of a kangeroo pouch; it was strechy and snug enough to feel safe using it. The rear pouch could be used for larger devices, or for accessories. But I would have a liked a velcro closure on at least one of the inner pouches, as memory cards are really small and easily lost as are spare batteries, I gave this product one less star rating because of this, but as the pouches have got a narrowed top to them I think they may be safe enough, and of course, if the top flap is closed over both pouches it would be secure, but I could not do this as I was using it to film while in the case.
Final features are the chunky padded flap which protects all from any showers/ downpours while outdoors and is easy to open and close, and the wrist tie, which I ended up using as an additional measure while I had this attached to my bike for extra security.
I recommend this case for its practicality and value.

This is a well-made, tidy little case with a strong and wide belt loop. I can’t imagine any belt that wouldn’t go through it, unlike some I’ve had. The camera is well protected and the front fastening is secure.
The only thing it lacks is a wrist strap for those of us who like that as an alternative, but that’s a small point.

This pouch is a perfect size for a wide variety of devices. I’ve had 3 different cameras, a pair of mini binoculars and a video camera in it. It also holds my Garmin eTreck GPS and my Android mobile phone. Its not too bulky but the neoprene padding gives an air of protection that inspires confidence. The only snag I can find is that sometimes it can be tricky to get things out again because of the high friction of the neoprene causing the poubch to “hold on” to the contents. Otherwise a good investment.
