I bought this case to protect my new S100 during vacation. It is a quality built stitched leather case with a soft felt-like interior. The camera attaches to the bottom half with the thumb screw mount and has two rings to attach a strap (included). The top half of the case attaches with three snaps so you can remove the top half for shooting pictures and still have the camera protected from the bottom and sides. The bump on the front of the case for the lens is longer than it needs to be so it does bulk up the package quite a bit from the relatively small bare camera. The top snaps off and on easily enough but if I were designing it I'd add some provision for a teather so it wouldn't get dropped while snapping a shot.
Another thing worth mentioning is the thumb screw threads, they were too long for my Canon S100 and bottomed out about one turn from being tight to the case. As a result, the camera did not sit tight in the bottom half of the case and rocked back and forth slightly. Most people might not even notice but we Engineers are particular about details like this. Fortunately for me the fix was easy, I just popped out the thumbscrew and machined off one thread in my lathe. I suppose it could be done with a file too but this is a easily fixed detail that the manufacturer might consider changing in the future.
In spite of the little screw length glitch I would still recommend this case for someone that is looking for a nice protective case for their camera. As a side note, I also bought the same case for my Canon G1X at the same time and that case did not have the screw length problem. If you're looking for a leather case I would not hesitate to buy this one again.
TomWell made high quality cover that fits the camera like a glove. It has the necessary snaps on the side so that you can leave the cover on when you use the camera.
