I bought this for my Canon SD450. My friend has the SD450 and got the Canon PSC-90 case. The Canon case is a nice hard leather case that's pretty to look at, but doesn't have room for a memory card or extra battery. This Lowepro case is made out of neoprene (scuba -type material) and seems to provide a lot more cushion if you dropped it. That also allows it to stretch and would have fit my older/bigger SD300. It also has a pouch in front for an extra battery and a special slot designed specifically for an extra memory card. It also has a strap to attach to your belt (and it uses a velcro closure so you don't have to take your belt off to put it on). It comes with a neck strap, but you could just as easily attach a smaller strap or a carabiner to it.

Overall I think this is a fabulous case, especially given the price. It's not as pretty as the Canon case, but infinitely more functional.

I really love this case and it's hard to give it up, but it just isn't long enough for my Canon Powershot SX210. My camera has a 9:16 aspect ratio lcd which makes it just a little too long to be fully protected by this case, the velcro barely makes contact with itself when I try and close it. I'm posting this review only because I was referred to this case by another reviewer in the posts below my camera model here on amazon. It's truly sad that it does not fit, because I just hate zippers and leather and now I'm having a tough time finding a suitable alternative.

This case is perfect for my SD550 or any similar sized camera. My camera fits snug and it's the least bulky case I've come across. One possible drawback however: Since it is optimized to be as slim as possible there is little room for an additional memory card and no room for an extra battery. This poses no problem for me as I only use this case to carry the camera in my pocket. All accessories are in my large camera bag.

The neoprene material provides nice protection for the camera and the LCD monitor. There are NO zippers to scratch the polished metal or LCD of your camera. The case opens with a velcro tab which holds the camera very securely.

One other case I would consider is the Canon PSC-55 which is slightly less bulky but does not provide, in my opinion, quite as good protection. I have both and use both depending on the amount of protection as the D-Pod 10. Both my dad and I own the PSC-55 and the Lowepro D-Pod 10. My dad prefers the PSC-55 because it is slightly less bulky and fits in his shirt pocket more easily. Me, I prefer the neoprene Lowpro D-Pod 10 pretty much ideal in my mind for this camera.

I also own the Rezo-10 which is a very tight fit. The camera does not fit into the Rezo-10 as well as D-Pod 10. I'd opt for the Lowepro D-Pod 10 over the other two cases.

This is a very nice case and reasonably priced.

Honest reviews on Lowepro D-Pods 10

This great little case fits my SD700 perfectly. It is a nice, padded case with a small little front pouch you can put an extra battery or SD card in. It also has a removable neck lanyard and a velcro belt clip, so carrying my camera around is easy. Don't buy the canon cases, save your money and buy this one.

I bought this for my Canon SD700. I was worried it would be too small but it fits perfectly. I like the fact it holds a spare battery and memory card. A bonus is that it has a belt loop secured with velcro so you can put it on or take it off without removing your belt. I haven't tried a drop test but it looks like it would help the camera survive a minor fall. It's much better in my opinion than the Canon bag. A friend at work has it and it won't hold a spare battery.
