Nikon Camera Case for Nikon Coolpix 990, 995 and 4500 Digital Reviews

Customer Ratings:

When I purchased a new Coolpix 990, I knew beforehand that it would not include a carrying case. The cheap case that had been included with the 950 served my needs well, so I bought this case for the 990, expecting it to be similar. When it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. This case is both larger and better built than the case included with the 950. The fabric is heftier and has a slightly rubberized feel on the outside that makes it seem much more substantial. The case includes a small pocket under the flap on the front that's perfect for an extra set of batteries or a few spare compact flash cards. Unlike the velcro closure on the 950 case, this one has a short adjustable strap with a plastic snap-lock closure. This makes it a bit more secure, though accessing the camera will be a bit slower if you're in a rush. This case should also work well for the 950. Overall, very nice.

One of the reasons I like my Nikon 990 is its relatively compact size. When I bought it, however, I did not get a case for it, which was not a good idea. I could carry the camera in one of the larger camera bags I already had. This posed the problem of possibly scratching or damaging the LCD on the back of the camera since the camera was somewhat loose in the camera bag with other metal accessories in it. The lens cover could also get knocked off in my larger bag since the camera could shift around in it.

I quickly purchased this case and have been well pleased with it ever since then. The camera fits snugly inside so there is no worry about damaging the display or the lens. There is also a small, although sufficient, pouch to place extra batteries, extra memory cards, or even an additional lens in. Plus the whole package is small enough to fit in my briefcase or a larger camera bag.

It's just right for what I need.

Case is very well made of rugged Codura, with soft lining inside to protect the LCD screen, and fits the camera nicely. The shape of the camera doesn't lend itself well to generic camera cases, usually being too big or too small for a good fit; that's not the case with this one (pun). The unique rubberized texture makes it easy to pick it out by feel, from inside a backpack or such.

As has been mentioned, it would be nice to have provisions for a shoulder strap instead of only a belt loop, but you can simply put your finger through the belt loop on the back of the case to hold it while using the camera, using it as a hand strap, (with the bag at the back of your hand). Not much of a problem.

If you do decide to use the belt loop, the case works fine as a quick draw holster; it's very easy to unclip the latch and grab the camera by the grip.

The camera's shoulder strap can be used when just carrying the camera around.

There is a small strap clip intended to secure the case to the camera's shoulder strap when the camera's in use, but it's not very useful because it generally gets in the way when dangling from the strap, and it just takes too long to work with.

The quick release clip works very well, both more silent and more secure than Velcro flaps, and the flap opens much wider than most zippered flaps, making it simple to take the camera out and put it back in.

The external pouch fits an EN-EL1 spare perfectly, as well as backup CF cards.

If you have a 995, this very sharp looking case is really essential for keeping the camera in good shape, both for transport and daily use. It looks much nicer than the pictures convey-

Honest reviews on Nikon Camera Case for Nikon Coolpix 990, 995 and 4500 Digital

I previously used a case logic digital camera bag for my Coolpix 950. It was pretty nice, but it was a tight fit to get the camera in. Alhtough the Nikon case seems smaller, the camera fits much better. I also have room for an extra set of batteries, my PCMCIA flash card adaptor, and a video cable. However, the one thing I miss is that there's no shouldar strap. Just a belt buckle, and a little loop.

After using the case, I'm revising my comments. I understand everyone's point about the missing strap. My kids commented how stupid it looks to have the case hanging on the strap while I'm using the camera. (what can I say, I'm a nerd) And, the loop provided to hold the strap always manages to tangle up the strap. Frustrating! Now, I'm left with taking the case off altogether.

The belt loop doesn't look strong enough either. I never intended to use it, so I didn't buy the case based on that feature. Still I love having the case that the manufacturer made intended for my camera. The good fit makes for good protection. And, I love that touch of purple and how it matches my camera. This bag will be useful when I'm bike riding and want to take just my camera and cell phone along. Because, as I said before, the storage area is big enough to hold that little something extra.

I compared this to the Nikon leather bag ... and the leather bag didn't have as much storage. Yet this bag doesn't seem any bigger than the leather bag; it's storage areas are just designed better.
