I'm extremely picky when it comes to cases. My Rebel XTi is also my baby, and I wanted something sturdy.
Things I Love:
-Hardshell bottom, protects the lens and lets the case stand upright
-Contemporary Design, futuristic with lots of ornamental elastic piping. Hip and sporty look.
-All Zipper closures, without velcro
-Generous depth, fits my Rebel XTi with EF 28-135 IS with room to spare
-Lots of pockets, no shortage of storage
-Very nice shoulder strap
-Lots of padding
Things I don't like:
-Weatherproof main zipper. While I appreciate the thought, it's very difficult to use the zipper, and I'm always worried I'm going to break it.
-Internal lycra lens sleeve. Hole is far too small for any large-sized zoom lens (what this case was designed to accomodate) and the velcro flaps for the sleeve make it impossible to keep a hood stored on your lens.

Given the fact that I enjoy taking my Nikon D80 with me as a frequent traveling companion, I sought a holster type case that wouldn't take up much more volume than the size of the camera and a zoom lens, yet would provide it with adequate protection from travel and the elements. I've found this case to be very well designed and built. Although I've never dropped my camera, the internal suspension of the case and it's reinforced bottom should provide the camera with substantial protection. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

My D80 fits in here nice and snug. The problem is that my lens filter cases (UV, polarized, etc) don't fit in the provided pockets on the outside of the case. The pockets are just 1/4 to 1/2 inch short. The lens filter without a case would fit fine but that just doesn't sound right.
Honest reviews on Case Logic SLRC-1Z SLR Camera Holster Case - Large (Black/Grey)
Solid, yet relatively lightweight, protection for my D80 and 18-200mm lens. Has some room to spare for me to throw in a small casio exilim cam as well. Although I hope it never happens, the bottom seems solid, yet well cushioned, to protect the lens and cam. Would buy again.

I bought this case after getting a lens adapter and hood for my Canon Powershot S3 IS. My camera fits perfectly and there is a lot of cushioning. It is probably too small for a full size SLR, though. The inside has a shelf with a hole in it to support an attached telephoto lens, and it folds down if you don't need it. There are three exterior pockets and one on the inside. I can carry a mini-tripod, a small battery charger, extra memory cards, lens filters, and more batteries than I will need in the pockets. The pockets are a little too small for extra lenses, but there is enough room for another on the inside. On the outside, it has the same type of mesh cushioning that you find on newer backpacks, and a cushioned strap that can be tucked away when you don't need it. My only complaint is that the zipper on top can be a little hard to open and close, but the case is pretty well balanced, so I tend to leave it open a lot anyway. It is great to have when I go hiking.
