LEATHER?

Whether this case is fake leather, I cannot say. I can say that it _feels_ leather-like, and that's good enough for me. Even the strap feels like leather. Either way, I don't care. The strap feels sturdy that's what matters to me.

EVER-READY, NOT NEVER-READY

What makes this case good for me is that you can quickly unsnap the cover on the two sides, leaving it hanging by the third snap under the part attached to the camera. This means that I can whip out the camera and activate it in short time. I've tried a Case Logic MSEC-2 EVA Molded Compact Camera Case (Black), and it makes getting out the camera much slower. One drawback is that when the cover is hanging, the snap tabs easily enter the shot. This is easily remedied by rotating the cover rearward on the third snap, or removing it entirely off the snap. (I then keep the cover in my back pocket.)

TRIPOD 'COMPATIBLE'

The screw that attaches the bottom part of the case to the camera is itself threaded for a tripod screw. The fit is precise. Yes, the screw means you have to remove the camera from the case in order to access the SD card. But I have an 8GB card, so I upload my pics only every 2 weeks or so.

NO POCKET

Another drawback of case is the lack of a storage pocket. If I want to take an extra battery with me, I have to put it in my pants pocket.

WEAR YOUR CAMERA

I like this case because I can keep the camera around my neck, keeping my hands free for managing my pre-school aged son! The Case Logic hardcase also has a neck strap, but it attaches to a case by a plastic lanyard clip. I suppose that the chance of failure is slim, but I just don't like it. The fixtures on this case are metal.

This case will protect your camera from bumps, but not heavy rain. The camera is exposed a bit on the upper sides. Be ready to stow your camera+case in your jacket in harsh weather.

I think that this case is actually handsome. And given that it keeps my camera 'functional' (quickly accessible, supported while shooting), I rate this case better than 3 stars. Let's make it 4. (5 minus 1 for lack of storage pocket.)

I always wondered why we only find kind of pocket cases for the new digital cameras, instead of the old fashioned leather carrying cases, that you can open and use the camera without taking it out of the case. This leather (I don't mind they are not real leather) case looks and works like the old vintage camera cases, and have advantages over the slip on or pocket cases in fashion today. Besides protecting the camera, while letting it ready for use, this case has the advantage of allowing us to keep the camera hanging down from our neck, where it is easier to use, than to have it inside a pocket, either hanging from our belt or from one shoulder. I like this case, and I am very satisfyied with it.

The case is handsome, slightly loose fitting but with good hardware. That said, it's not leather. It's fake leather with a very good false grain and color. The strap is just plastic, like a lanyard. It's inexpensive, so if you don't insist on actual leather, you may like it. I was expecting leather, so I can't rate it highly. I returned it.

Honest reviews on Leather Camera Case Bag with Strap for Canon Powershot S95 - Black

You can tell this product was not made by Canon. At least, i don't think so. Canon cases i have purchased in the past fit their cameras like a glove, this one has some extra slack here and there. The price however is much cheaper than a licensed Canon case. Canon also does not offer a case that has a neck strap, although you can buy neck straps separately. One major issue i have with the case is that it blocks one of the tiny holes for the microphone on the front of the camera(i have the s95). I figure this reduces the sound quality of video you record since it's being blocked. Keep in mind you have to unscrew it from the case each time you want to upload photos to your computer because the case blocks the opening for the usb. its just little things that urk me about the case, but nothing too bad. Overall for the $20 i paid, i'm happy. I may buy another simpler case(a case logic) if i don't feel like toting the neck strap around in my purse.

This is a beautifully made camera case. Unfortunately they didn't think it through when they designed it. First of all, a case of this quality should come with a strap of matching quality. No strap included. Second, there is no way to use the camera without taking the top off. The top is just BEGGING to get lost. They could have made the top so that it would swivel and hang below the camera while using it. My first Pentax Spotmatic had such a case. Loved it. Not this. Back it goes.
