I've owned this camera bag for almost two years and still love it.
I sometimes think I should have bought something larger, but then I remind myself that a larger bag would allow me to lug around an excessive amount of equipment.

Buy Square Perfect Rolling Camera Case Backpack for Digital Photo
List Price: $279.95
Sale Price: $56.27
Today's Bonus: 80% Off
I've been looking for a rolling camera case, mostly on ebay. The tenba or other well known case products were 300 bucks and more for a similar product!
I was kinda skeptical of what I was going to get with a case this cheap but I decided to give it a try anyway. It came in the mail last night. It seems to be made well enough and the zippers are all heavy duty, the only place it might be a little lacking from a more expensive case is in the thickness of the padding on the sides and top and possibly a locking pull handle. The unit is built like a small softsided suitcase and comes with a bunch of velcro dividers, horizontal and vertical so you can set it up to your taste. This unit also has backpack straps so if you want to sling it on your back instead of rolling it behind you then that works too (although I would not want to stand in a crowd unless I locked the zippers together, too easy for someone just to unzip and grab my camera body or something). The unit has one pretty big pocket on the outside front (that has more smaller pockets and a key clip) and a small one on one side and what can only be a cell phone case, the other side has a tripod holder and there are straps that come around to secure the top (not just the zipper holds the top down) even more. The handle pops up and slides down when you don't want to use it (there is no release button it just slides). I wanted this for a plane trip in November, it'll just be easier to deal with a rolling case for carry on and I DO NOT want to check my beloved camera into the luggage compartment where it could be damaged or stolen (especially in a metal haliburton case that looks like what it is). The only slight issue I've noticed so far is that one of the wheels seems stiff, I'm going to load it up and roll it around to see if it loosens up or I can fix it myself. This bag has double wheels on both sides but they're the typical small rolling luggage wheels, i.e. don't bother trying to roll this in sand, it probably won't handle it well. So far I'm satisfied with what I got for the money, I'm sure that full retail these were probably sold for well over a hundred dollars if not more. The looks of this case does not "say" camera case to me, so in addition to the cheap price it has the advantage of not looking like what it is where an expensive Tenba or other well known camera case brand SCREAMS that it's sitting there with expensive camera gear inside. I'm satisfied with it, if I end up investing in a more expensive bag later it will still have many other uses.
update: I used this on my November trip, worked perfectly. Has the usual issues a bag with only wheels on the back has but it rolls well and no problems. I can see the differences in this and a 200 dollar bag, the long velcro dividers down the middle are too soft and the velcro not very strong, i.e. you have to put the bodies on the bottom of the bag or the weight will pull the long dividers away from the top of the bag. The sides of the expensive bags are also a LOT harder than what you get here. Overall, for what I paid this bag was worth it and it fit in the overhead and under the seat on the plane (at one point the Southwest stewardess threatened to force me to check it and I told her precisely what I thought about that idea) fortunately it fit under the seat as well as anyone else's bag and she backed off. For fourty bucks there's nothing wrong with this bag but if you're really concerned about protecting your gear it can't hold a candle to the much more expensive products.

Don't waste your money on this product. It is cheaply made and very flimsy. I bought this specifically to haul and protect my equipment on a photo trip to the Pacific Northwest. The insides are too soft and the bag doesn't hold it's shape. Before I boarded my first flight, the pull handle had pulled apart so I had to carry the bag, instead of pulling it, for the rest of my trip. The velcro didn't hold my equipment in place and one of the front pockets tore, I guess from shoving/pulling it in/out of the overhead compartment, even though I had nothing in the pocket. I would have ditched it then and there except I had no other means of carrying my equipment. Again, don't waste your money on this inferior product.Best Deals for Square Perfect Rolling Camera Case Backpack for Digital Photo
I wouldn't reccomend purchasing this case. The handle broke after less than 5 hours of use. I wasn't pulling anything unusually heavy but the extension part of the handle pulled all the way out and it won't catch when I put the piece back in. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to fix it so now it's just an uncomfortable backpack.Honest reviews on Square Perfect Rolling Camera Case Backpack for Digital Photo
Rest assured you can "carry on" your camera gear and it will be protected with this bag on all the major airlines. The general airline carry-on size limit is 45" (H+W+D) and this measures in at 20"H (bottom of wheels to handle) x 16"W (w/o side pocket stuffed) x 8-12"D (with or w/o top pocket stuffed), so 44" easy. So many of the $300 price range roller backpack camera bags even fail to meet the 45" standard, and I just don't want to take the risk of noto being able to carry on my equipment on the plane with me. It's the size of a normal backpack, and comfy too to wear.I bought this bag a couple of years ago on ebay for about $50 and it's been my best/most used camera bag. I can keep my small laptop (or netbook) in the top pocket, which also fits a regular "folder" as well just barely for model releases, travel notes, etc. If you have a larger laptop, you could probably fit it on top of your gear within a protective sleeve. I love the small top and side access pockets for accessories, cellphone, cards, batteries, business cards, pens, etc. The side straps also help compress the bag to keep things snug and tight.
Upside: You didn't spend $300 for a carry-on rolling camera backpack!
Downside: The padding is a little bit weaker/softer but it's definitely protective. I feel comfortable about it. The "lid" zipper ends just short of the end of the bag, so it doesn't naturally flip down 180 degrees w/o a little weight in it and flipping it back but as you can see in the picture it does.
For the price and the value received, this is definitely 5 stars!!!

There isn't any support for the camera and the lenses. The dividers are stronger in the camera bags bought at Wal Mart!! When pulling, the bag flops around.

Crumpler THIRSTY AL Camera Pouch S (Olive/Light Olive) Reviews
The Crumpler Thirsty AL (L) is a good case for holding slightly bulkier sized electronics such as point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones, small portable hard drives, and just about anything else that one can morally fit in it.
To give you an idea, these are just some of the things that you can fit in the Thirsty Al: Two 5G iPod's; Sony memory card reader (MRW62E) with usb cable folded; Or any similar sized computer mouse (I've tried a Wacom mouse, Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0, an Apple wired Mighty Mouse, and a Logitech MX600 mouse). The dimensions listed for this product are quite accurate to use as reference.
However, keep in mind that this case isn't linear, so use the dimensions listed only as reference. The Thirsty Al is soft, flexible, and the walls are about 0.4mm to 0.5mm thick. The rear and base, however, feel twice as thick. The overall stitching and lining of the case appear to be strong. The pocket opening is slightly narrower than the body and base of the case (to help keep things from falling out and to help keep things from getting in). The Thirsty Al uses 4 patches of strong velcro. One is located on the front, main flap, and two for the loop/belt straps on the rear. The reason that there is two velcro straps (one long and one short) is that it helps further secure the case in place. The last patch of velcro can be found under the main flap where there is a small pocket about half the size of the flap where you can store memory cards and other similarly small items. I've tried a Sandisk Compact Flash memory card with its protective case and it fit perfectly.
Now about the cosmetics. Yes, the exterior is black and gunmetal colored, just like my Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Bag (Black/Gunmetal/Oatmeal color). However, the interior lining of this Thirsty Al is an olive color, different from my 7MDH's oatmeal interior (tan color). Although I knew this beforehand, I just wanted to confirm that the interior is indeed olive colored. I would prefer an oatmeal colored interior, but it doesn't seem like Crumpler has made any Thirty Al's with the Black/Gunmetal/Oatmeal theme. I could only find photos of the Black/Gunmetal colored Thirst Al's with olive or orange colored interiors.
In any case, I wanted to expand the carrying capacity of my 7MDH bag so I purchased a pair of these Thirsty Al's and strapped them to the sides of my bag, leaving only two loops left. I currently carry a Sony memory card reader in one of my Thirsty Al's (as mentioned above), leaving the other pocket for small items such as business cards, additional memory cards, candy, pens, or anything else that I may want quick access to while out in the field.
One thing: don't get the idea that XL means it's large. It isn't. Just big enough for a cell phone or the stuff I mentioned. I fit one camera battery, 4 AA's and a body and lens cap. That's it. The edges of the bag itself are not covered by the top so don't leave little tiny items in there or you could find they've migrated somewhere.
Otherwise: perfect.
The cases are very well cushioned, and I do not hesitate to store anything fragile in them. Not sure what else to say except if you have a portable GPS, or a point & shoot camera you want to protect, get this case. These cases also have a velcro belt loop but I haven't used this feature as of yet.
Inside, the case is extremely well padded, and in the flap there is a small flat pocket for an extra memory card, or a couple of batteries.
An amazing product overall.

It's perfect for the body/lens caps, extra batteries and a lens pen that I keep in there. I'm going to get one more for other little do-dads, as well. Maybe two. This allows me to use the 7MDH instead of grabbing a bigger bag. With the loops on the side of the bag, these work and match perfectly.One thing: don't get the idea that XL means it's large.

These pouches are IDEAL for just about anything that fits. They come in various sized, but I only buy the XL. I first found these small pouches in a camera store in a huge bin about six or seven years ago. I bought three of them. I still own two of them -the third was stolen together with my GPS. I use them for small point and shoot cameras, GPS, and cell phone storage. These cases last forever. The velcro sealing system last forever. I have never, ever had a problem with them. I just re-ordered two of them from Amazon (to replace the one that was stolen with the GPS in it) as I wanted a spare just in case as they are getting harder to find.The cases are very well cushioned, and I do not hesitate to store anything fragile in them. Not sure what else to say except if you have a portable GPS, or a point & shoot camera you want to protect, get this case.

This is a very attractive little bag, exceptional in details and workmanship. I use it for my cell phone when running around town, just attach to my purse strap. When out shooting photos, I use to to carry extras such as blower, batteries, etc. It's rugged enough that I just add to the outside strap. It is NOT big and you should carefully review the size before ordering the only reason I give it 4 stars. Was not quite the size I expected when mine arrived but quickly found other uses for it and it is in daily use for me.Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Honest reviews on Fujifilm F-Series Case for Camera - Black
Although this case seems a bit too large because of the rigid front flap, I found it to be very handy with the belt loop and magnetic closure. My other camera with the neck strap was more of a pain for every day use on vacation. I'm speaking from a traditional wallet carrying man's point of view. A slimmer case may work for someone who carries a bag, but I found this case to never be "in the way" while being almost a quick draw with the magnetic closure. My camera also has a small wrist strap which I keep folded over the top of the camera in this bag, and which I use right away when grabbing the camera. I used this daily for 2 straight weeks while on vacation, while never being hampered by a neck strap and needing to occasionally leave the camera behind as a result. I did buy a smaller, more form fitting case, but it doesn't do the trick like this one does. For hands free, back free, neck free use, this is the one.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Fujifilm F-Series Case for Camera - Black

List Price: $159.99
Sale Price: $129.99

Let's start off with the pros...
This bag looks nothing like a typical camera backpack. I absolutely love with way it looks. The side-entry pocket is great. I was looking for a backpack that had this feature since I do a lot of urban street photography... You never know when you're going to want to take a photo of something and it's nice to have my camera easily accessible. It's also pretty comfortable to wear even with all my gear packed inside.
Now for the cons...
The Velcro dividers in the padded camera compartment are way too tall. When I pack it to its maximum capacity with lenses and whatnot, then add my camera, the backside of the camera will sit higher than the compartment itself. When I zip up the opening, there is a bulge from the backside of the camera pressing against the flap. To remedy this problem I had to cut the dividers and sew up the seams. After doing so, the camera sits flush with the top edge of the compartment and the zippered flap is able to close nicely with no bulge. My camera is on the larger side (5d mark 2), so if you have a smaller camera this might not be a problem for you. Also, because this is a smaller daypack type of bag, I am not able to fit my 70-200 f2.8 in the padded compartment. It fits lengthwise, but with another lens and camera in there, it will not fit. I have to put it in the upper zipped compartment.
Overall I'm happy with this bag (after making some alterations), but gave it a 4 star rating because it wasn't perfect right off the bat.

Review of High Density Neoprene FlexArmor Camera Case for Panasonic, Nikon
In my 40 years of amateur photography, this is my first experience with a neoprene flexible case. I find it a great addition to the heavier hardshell leather cases and large camera kit bags that I also use with my micro 4/3 camera equipment.
First, I should clarify what type camera this bag fits: The Amazon ad correctly states in the "Technical Details" section of the ad that it fits the Panasonic Lumix GF1 with my 14-42mm zoom lens, my 14-45mm zoom lens, and my 20mm "pancake" lens. (I believe it will also fit the Gf2 and upcoming GF3, which are slightly smaller than the FG1.) However, the Amazon ad states incorrectly in the top title and elsewhere in the ad that it fits the DMC-G3 / DMC-GH2 / DMC-G2. I tried to fit my DMC-G2 and DMC-GH1 camera bodies (without lens) into this bag, and those camera bodies were too large. I hope the ad will be corrected to say GF1/GF2/GF3 with attached lenses up through the size of the 14-45mm zoom.
Now, back to the bag, itself. It appears extremely well made, and likely to hold up to regular use. The seams are well stitched and there are no sloppy or excess cuttings. There is a convenient external zip pocket for extra memory cards and other tiny items. Another reviewer found that it was not easy getting the camera in and out of the case. I found it took only a few seconds to remove the camera, and a few seconds longer to reinsert... comparable to other cases I've used over the years.
The case's main opening uses 2 snaps, rather than velcro, and I prefer the snaps. There is a sufficient small gap on the sides to pass through a camera strap, attached to your camera, to carry the enclosed camera on your shoulder. The case is extremely lightweight, and appears to offer at least limited water resistance, if not waterproof. The neoprene cushioning is not thick, but it is dense, and provides a decent first line of defense against dust, dirt, nicks, scratches, and light bumps. It is not so thick as to protect against drops on a cement floor.
This is not an "everready"-style case that would allow you to snap off a top half to quickly take photos, while a bottom half remains screwed into a tripod mount. This is a storage case from which you remove the camera to take photos. The case has a narrow belt loop that opens via velcro; a tag warns that this belt loop is meant only for storing the case while you are holding and shooting the camera... the belt loop is not strong enough to support carrying the camera in the case attached to your trouser belt.
I should mention that I find this to be an attractive case I'm happy to be seen with, given the dark gray color and quality of construction. In conclusion, the extreme lightness and "first line of defense" protectiveness of this case will make it my main carry-along case for walking about with my Panasonic Lumix GF1.
The GF3 with the 42mm lens fits comfortably inside and it's not a super snug fit.
That being said, this case has its limits. For example, compared to other "heavy duty" camera bags, it's possible that dirt or water could seep into the bag. There aren't a lot of built in pouches (which is fine for my purposes), but it would not be the best option if you plan to carry additional memory cards or power cords.
One thing to note is that the case itself does not have a strap. To carry it with a strap, you need to use the neck strap attached to the camera itself. There is a velcro "belt strap" on the case itself, but it feels sort of chinzy and I don't think I'd be comfortable using that.
The materials are great quality for the price, and the seams seem well sewn. Doesn't seem to be a cheap piece of junk. The belt loop could be a little stronger though and the snaps could be metal instead of plastic, but for the price it's more than we expected. If you want metal snaps and better belt loop, spend more money. If you want cheap protection for your GF series camera go with this one it fits great.

I recently purchased this case to hold my Lumix DMC-GF3 with a 42mm lens. I was glad to happen upon this case because there are not many inexpensive cases available for micro four-thirds (mirrorless) cameras like the GF3. The majority of the options that will accommodate the larger lens are quite pricey. This case seems ideal for giving the camera some minor protection, especially if you plan to carry the camera inside of a daypack or purse. For me, it is a real advantage that the case doesn't add much bulk or additional weight. If you take the camera out of its case, the flexible case would easily fold up.The GF3 with the 42mm lens fits comfortably inside and it's not a super snug fit.

I have GF3 with a 14-45 and a 45-200 lens. It fits well, somewhat loosely, with the 14-45mm lens on it, but does a great job of protecting it with that lens. Where it is really awesome is with the 45-200mm lens though. It is a tight squeeze, but the snaps close securely with the lens and lens cap on and it fits like a glove. That was a pleasent surprise for my wife and I. We had been looking for another Neoprene case to protect with the 200mm lens and this one actually stretches perfectly (not to the point of tearing a seam though) around the camera and lens.The materials are great quality for the price, and the seams seem well sewn.

Great little camera case for my FujiJilm J250. At first it was just the tiniest bit too small to fit, but after one or two openings and closings, I was able to stretch the material a little bit and my camera has fit snugly ever since. Nice product.

This fit my exslim Z600 with room to spare. I can assume it will fit any slim style camera. With my camera in the pouch, The pouch had about 2 inches of extra room of height and about 3/4 of an inch of extra room in the thickness of the pouch. The width was perfect, it did not have to be smashed into the case and it did not slide from side to side. this is what I was looking for. If you are searching for a case that only holds the camera and no accessories this one is not for you. I used the extra room in the pouch to hold 3 extra SD cards which I purchased a slim SD card case from Ziotek that hold 3 cards just search Ziotek sd card case and you will find it. and an extra battery with room to spare. In the extra pouch I had ample room for cash and credit-cards and my keys (3 keys). I was able to get rid of my "fanny pack" because this pouch fit every thing. The velcro covered extra pouch gave me easy access to the cash and keys and the camera storage section is zippered. The Velcro outer pouch can hold my flip video camera instead of the cash and keys. This case surpassed my expectations in every way!
This is a big case. If you are buying this just for the flip it may be to large for you. This is not one of those slim cases

Did not know what to expect before receiving my padded case for my Flip Slide unit. The case was as advertised with these additional feaures. A loop on the side that holds my tripod. Works great. The smaller pocket on the front of the case is also used I put my power adapter into that one. What I really like is that all of the components I need for video recording are all together in one unit. When traveling having all the parts together assures one of not forgetting one of the components.Best Deals for Comapct Video Camera Carrying Case for FLIP Slide HD / ULTRA
I have been looking for a small bag for a point and shoot camera and a Flip Ultra HD, to wear around my waist. This bag will be great for either, but not both. It has plenty of room in the main compartment to easily hold my Canon SX230HS or my Flip Ultra HD. The small out compartment is good for keys, SD cards, Batteries. I can't fit either of these two camera's in this pouch, as I was hoping to.It is however a nice looking well made bag that I will use.

I got this case to hold my Panasonic Lumix DSLR DMC-G3. The case is a perfect size for the camera and accessories (although I am not carrying any additional lenses which would be a challenge). The case also has nice storage for the battery charger and an additional battery, as well as additional memory cards. My only complaint about the case is that the strap is quite slippery and wants to slip off my shoulder.

This case is a perfect fit for my Olympus SZ20. It holds the camera securely and looks like real leather. The magnetic snap closure closes securely, and there's a belt loop on the back. Very classy looking case for a very reasonable price.

While others have rated this item well, I can not see the reasoning behind their comments. A lot of items are well made, but this item has been outsourced to China, and it really shows. The "Fake Leather" is a veneer, and will bubble or peel with use. The stiffness of the case is from a hard cardboard material, and will not stand up to use as well.We fall for items made by the manufacturer to be of better quality, when we receive items like this, it is nothing more than a let down. I guess that is why Lowepro, Tamrac, and CaseLogic have widely popular cases for electronic's, they are 10 times the basic standard of this POORLY MADE ITEM!
