Eynpire Camera Leather Case For Canon Powershot G12 G11 Review

Customer Ratings:

I just opened the package an hour ago. I was a little nervous about how this would fit the camera and if it would look like some kind of cheap imitation leather, but it fits like a glove and looks wonderful. I was looking for something that would harken back to the old rangefinder cameras of 50 years ago, which this nice leather case does. I couldn't be happier with it.

I received this Eynpire Case for my Canon G12 just a few weeks ago and, so far, I'm very pleased with it. The case is well-designed, it fits my G12 perfectly and it performs as I had expected from the pictures of the case. The bottom half of the case fastens to the camera by way of the knurled knob on that bottom half, which knob screws into the tripod socket. (The bottom half has to be removed to access the memory card and/or the battery, but I expected that) When the top half of the case is detached either fully or partially, the articulated LCD can be used without obstruction from the case, which is very important to me because I use that LCD feature almost constantly when traveling. Further, this case imparts slightly more "heft" to the G12, which I like.

My case arrived with a slight apparent flaw in a piece of the trim on one of its leather edges, but the flaw appears to be so slight as to be inconsequential. My only other concern is that the rear snap that holds the upper part of the case in place while it still is partially attached feels a little loose. That may be deliberate, however, to facilitate removal but I'm a little concerned about the possibility of its becoming ineffective over time. My wife & I will be on vacation overseas during early July and that's when I'll be able to test this case "in use." Thereafter, this four-star rating could become five.

Very satisfied with the product and really custom-tailored for G12 [perfect fit]. Leather is of good quality and the case also comes with a matching strap. Actual product is almost identical to the advertised picture except for "CANON" not being printed on the actual product. Otherwise, good buy. I am definitely keeping it.

Honest reviews on Eynpire Camera Leather Case For Canon Powershot G12 G11

After buying the expensive G12, I wanted a case that looked good and provided excellent protection of the camera body. This case fit the bill quite well. The retro design and leather look great and it fits like a glove. The leather is thick enough to provide good protection for routine drops and knocks.

There are some things about it that make it less than perfect though. The leather edge that abuts the swing out screen is just a wee bit to tall resulting in the bottom edge of the screen not quite cleanly clearing the edge of the case when it is open and closed. Access to the cable connector port requires that the case be completely removed. The latter is merely inconvenient and the former worries me a bit when I think of the impact over many years of use.

All in all, I'm rather more pleased than displeased and am happy with the item.

After reading a number of the other reviews, it really seems as though the manufacturer either has amazingly inconsistent quality assurance or is actually selling two very similar but different cases. Mine has the Canon logo on front, is clearly leather and is well made. If this is not what you end up receiving, you should probably return it and ask for the genuine article.

I had to buy two of these cases. I have the G-12. The case fits, but it is very snug. The case does not get in the way of the screen swinging out. However, I would not recommend this case. It is pretty, but it is poorly made. The first one had gashes in the leather, and the button on the bottom of the case that holds the two pieces together did not work AT ALL! They did not stay together at all. I complained, and the complaint goes directly to Amazon, because this item is fulfilled by Amazon. They paid for return shipping and they shipped out a new one, with one-day shipping, at no cost to me. Unfortunately, the case did not make it in time for my trip. When I got back and saw it, I was still disappointed. Although the second case looked flawless, the same button does not hold well. I do not trust it, and it seems like it may give at any time. I may end up losing the top portion of the case if I'm not careful.

Here's the worst part. I gave Eynpire Camera a terrible review for the first case. Soon after, I received an email from Amazon saying they would give me a $15 credit if I removed the review. Really? I took a few days to think about it, and when I went back, thinking, ok, I'll take the money, they had already removed it!

Be careful of Eynpire and of Amazon!
