Got this for a Panasonic TS1 waterproof camera. My main camera is either my Canon 40D or Olympus EP-2, so I wanted a very small case for the TS1 because it's a backup camera (and for wet situations obviously).
I saw these in a local store, Samy's Camera in Santa Ana CA. They were priced outrageously there, but I was happy with the price here for the quality. I mention this because with such a small bag, you might want to make sure your camera is going to fit. The TS1 fits fairly snugly (especially with an extra battery shoved into the battery pocket, a nice feature). It's perhaps a little bit bigger than your average ultracompact point-and-shoot, but there are a lot of bigger ones out there too. This size is really only for the smallest cameras, the kind with a tiny lens in the upper right corner.
That said, a tight fit is what I was looking for. Doesn't add any bulk and it's plenty of protection. No need to go overboard with foam padding and everything like some camera bags.
The clasp on the front can be a little awkward if you've got a tight fit, but it's not a problem with a little practice. I don't think a more standard clasp would make it better, it'd be bulkier. This clasp is very flat so you can easily shove it down into another bag.
I like the material and design enough to consider the larger versions for my larger cameras, though I don't need new larger camera bags at the moment ;)
