Just received my order and was sorely disappointed: my first reaction was that it was made of really cheap materials. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of stiff cardboard underneath the rubber-like fabric and zippers that make up the design. Since the item WAS inexpensive, I wasn't too upset about this. However, the zippers on my case were so ill-made and poorly designed that they made the case virtually unusable. Basically, the zippers zip open fine, but when closing, the zipper catches on the zipper lining. For this reason, it takes a lot of strength (and determination) to close the case, and when I get it closed, I notice that it's ripped up a lot of the fabric near the zipper. While I can struggle with the zipper now, I wouldn't be surprised if the zipper broke after a short time of use. [I've since noticed that the zipper moves smoother now that the lining is a torn, thereby removing whatever it was catching on.]When I contacted the vendor Bargaincell for a refund due to defective product (I assume my case is defective since others have left positive reviews), they responded quickly once, but took a few days to actually give me an RMA # (which you need in order to get a refund).
I would just warn anyone considering purchasing this item that while you might get a perfectly working product, you might also get a defective unusable one. Just keep this in mind when making your decision. I walked into a Radioshack today and was surprised to find better designed camera cases for less than $10 (although they did not have hard shells like this one), so I really regret purchasing this one since it's turned out to be a lot more trouble than it's worth.
As a side note, I'm also including the measurements of the case's CAMERA COMPARTMENT (not the overall size), since there's been a lot of talk about camera fit:
H 4.5" x W 2.75" x D 1.125"
(My Canon Powershot SD800 IS -measuring at H 3.5" x W 2.25" x D 1" -fits fairly well in it with a little spare room.)
