I purchased this case for my Nikon D3100, and I am thrilled. I wanted a small protective bag that I could place inside of my larger Osprey hiking backpack; this ruled out all of the "camera bags," because they are huge. The materials and build quality feel excellent. It is a soft synthetic leather with well stitched seems and plenty of padding. The interior is made of what feels like smooth nylon over some sort of padding. While a softer and more plush material would have been nicer, this will suffice. I use this case with complete confidence in the protection it provides my camera. My bag was not fully closed one day, and my camera (while in this case) fell out onto the sidewalk. My camera and the case are still in perfect condition.
I use this camera bag with my D3100 and a couple of different lenses: the AF-S 18-55mm VR kit lens, a AF-S 35mm DX prime, and a AF-S 55-200mm VR. I have a fairly large shoulder strap that I usually wrap around my lens before I put it into the case. The triangle shape of the bag fits the camera with the kit lens (18-55mm) and 35mm just fine. There is a little room inside for cushioning, but not enough for it to bang around. It also fits-albeit quite snugly-with the larger 55-200mm VR zoom lens. I am sure it would NOT fit with a longer or larger lens attached.
This case protects my camera while in my backpack, the trunk of my car, or on a metro ride through the city. If you want it for walking around town, the adjustable and removable shoulder strap is long enough (54in max) to wear as either a "sling" style bag or to one side like a purse. There is an extra zippered mesh pocket inside where I keep an extra memory card and lens cloth. I use the outside mesh pocket to keep a couple extra grocery bag incase I get stuck in the rain. This bag is perfect if you only want one lens. However, if you are looking for something that will help carry extra lenses and other accessories, this bag is not for you.
Pros:
Protection (my camera lived through falling onto the sidewalk)
Build quality (the case did too)
Cheap (~$20)
Small
Perfect for your camera and one lens
Cons:
No place for extra lenses
Will not fit a lens larger than the 55-200mm VR
Bottom Line:
If you want something portable and protective for about $20, then you'll love this bag. I am giving this no-fills bag 5 stars for its value, size, and the peace of mind it gives me.

This is a wonderful camera case. I have found it to come in handy for taking to football games. The top pocket is big enough for extra memory cards and batteries! Thanks for the product!
