This case is a perfect fit for my Canon t3i. I have the 18-135mm lens. The camera's original shoulder strap can be easily slipped into side hooks of the case. Real leather and light weight and looks really retro. I wanted this case for short outings when I did not want to carry around my backpack case and accessories. Best part is that I don't need to remove this case to store the camera back into the backpack as it is almost the same size as the camera. My 67mm tulip lens hood however will not fit in even if reversed on the lens. This is the only antique brown real leather case for the t3i on amazon. This case also comes in dark brown but the antique looks great. You won't regret this purchase.
Reason for the 4 stars :
I have to admit the only inconvenience with the case is that you need to remove it if you need to remove the SD card for backup, removal of battery to recharge/replace or to connect any of the cables. If we have a corded or cordless remotes we need to remove the case. The manufacturer should include more holes in this case especially for the IR remote sensor which is in the camera grip part of the case.
Otherwise it is a great case and I love it.

Great Product, Great Antique Look ***Do not "Scotch Guard"!***Love the item, it is a tad big in the body for my Canon T3i. Fits generally well (despite the aforementioned) with both 55-250mm and 18-135mm lenses. I attempted to coat the cover with 3M "Scotchguard" and was left with what is best described as light / white-ish water spots. My own fault, I thought I might mention to save others from potentially the same mistake. I have used the case with the Tamarac "ZipShot" tripod and available extra quick release adapter and all work well together. The case does cover the remote sensor which is not awesome, but overall, the antique look may be worth the hassle for certain situations...more form than function. This case is a good-looking date with no intelligence...to be use accordingly. Probably not the best "general purpose" or "all around" case. Great look overall.

Being new to photography and realizing that I need an actually bag this suffices for on the go quick travels. I honestly didn't think I would haul around other lenses and equipment. My friends compliment me on the case as fitment is superb and styling is retro . Everyone likes it, the quality of the leather is very nice and the color is rich.Honest reviews on MegaGear ''Ever Ready'' Antique Dark Brown DSLR Camera Case
For some reason, I'm really partial to having in-place cases for my electronic devices. I can't seem to have them just "bare" even when I know the build quality is up to it. I recently bought my first DSLR, a Canon T3i, and knew I had to have a case for it. I really liked the retro-style two-piece case I had on my Canon G10, and looked around Amazon for something similar. This case fit the bill.The deep dark brown is extremely attractive. I'm not sure as to the long-term durability of the leather, but the stitches are strong and even. The inside of the case is lightly padded and soft against the body of the camera. It has brass hardware, and the 5 snaps are easy to secure and unsnap. Unfortunately, the strap fasteners are hooks instead of closed loops, so it was very easy for my camera strap to slip off of them. Luckily it didn't result in the camera getting dropped. They may work better with a different kind of strap, or for people who want to disconnect their straps quickly, but I don't plan on using them until I can find a way to close them off, or replace them with a closed loop.
I can confirm that this fits the stock 18-55mm, 50mm, and 55-250 mm lenses. Unfortunately, none of my lens hoods will fit inside while still on the lenses. There's plenty of room forward, but the barrel of the case itself is too narrow. It's not really a big deal, as you can simply put the hood on after you take off the main part of the case, but it does mean you have to store it separately for a trip. Despite the barrel of the case being narrow on the inside, when the whole case is on the camera, it looks and is massive. I much prefer taking the main piece off, leaving it in the car, and using just the bottom piece while walking about. I only put it back on when I'm done and plan to store it.
Unfortunately, you can't gain access to the battery, output ports, or card slot without taking the case completely off. At first I found this to be a bit of a nuisance, but after doing it a bunch of times, I found that it only took me a few moments to take it off and put it back on.
Even though I had a few minor quibbles, I'm not so sure that the case could be designed all that differently and still afford the protection it does while keeping the size manageable. I'd recommend it to anyone who would use it as a quick travel case, and likes to provide a little extra protection to their gear. Cheers!
