Shield is flexible plastic probably provides good protection but flexibility and installation procedure (using a liquid spray) make it very difficult (maybe impossible) to get an "invisible" application. I've installed many screen protectors (mostly made by Boxwave) and have been quite happy with the appearance and protection offered. This pliable plastic material doesn't lay as flat and sticks very aggressively. When I tried to lift the shield to remove a bubble near the edge it stretched out and didn't fit properly after that. Perhaps this material is better suited to wrapping curved and irregular surfaces; I'm sticking with Boxwave for flat LCD protection.

This case is perfect. I bought it to store my new iPod nano (6th generation) and headphones when I'm not using them. I didn't know that it will also fit my digital camera or my cell phone, also! Cute design, the front and back is a shiny silvery color, not black like it looks in the photo. The glow in the dark flowers are cute! This case is cute and compact and it will protect whatever electronic devices I want to use it for. Great buy!

Reviews of RainbowImaging "Ever Ready" Protective Black PU Leather Camera Case

RainbowImaging 'Ever Ready' Protective Black PU Leather Camera Case , Bag for Sony NEX-3N with Short Prime Lens
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
Considering how few cases are (as of today's date) designed for the 3N, I'd go so far to say this is a must-have--especially at this price. It's a perfect fit with the 16-50mm lens, and is a true ever-ready case (unsnap the side snaps to instantly flip the top case off).

-

CONSTRUCTION:

*outer material: made out of PU (artificial leather), but I personally don't think it looks cheap or cheesy; in black, it is inconspicuous. I've seen similar cases made of a crappy vinyl, so this is certainly a step up. I haven't seen any real leather cases for the 3N anyway.

*inside material: lined with a soft, plush velvety fabric. some parts of the case (i.e. near the lens) are slightly padded to provide extra protection.

-

DESIGN:

The case is made of TWO pieces:

1. a bottom part that screws securely into the 3N's tripod mount (and serves as a tripod mount of its own), and

2. a top part (covers the lens, top, screen, etc) that snaps into the bottom part. The two parts are attached by 4 snaps (one on either side of the camera, two on the bottom near the tripod mount).

HOW 'EVER-READY' WORKS: Unsnap the side snaps and the top case hangs loosely from the bottom snaps (thereby allowing you to quickly take pictures). Infinitely better than fumbling around and removing your camera from a generic case, or worse--going case-less.

-

UNFORTUNATELY: This case doesn't play nice with accessories.

*filters: in order to use a quality 49mm UV filter I had lying around, I attached a 40.5-49mm step up ring, and then added the 49mm filter. On top of the filter, I have a snap-on cover. Albeit very thin, that's still 2 extra threads and a cover. with that extra thickness, the top case doesn't fit flush with the camera anymore. if you add one 40.5mm filter, you'd *probably* be ok.

*tripod:

1. if you have anything attached to the tripod mount, the top case will NOT swing down entirely. you better entirely remove the top case before putting any tripod/monopods on the camera (since removing the bottom snaps would be impossible if you have anything already attached...)

2. trying to unscrew anything from the case's tripod mount will most likely end up simply unscrewing the case from the camera instead. it's awkward/difficult trying to remove anything snugly attached to the case's built-in tripod mount.*

SD card, battery: a no-brainer, but the bottom piece completely obscures the SD and battery compartments. IN order to change the battery or SD card, you'll have to completely unscrew the case off. not really an issue for me, but good to keep in mind.

Swivel LCD: The 3N's LCD screen swivels to 90 degrees; trying to pry open the screen to rotate is a bit of an extra hassle. Again, the extra second it takes to open isn't really an issue for me, but I figured I'd point it out anyway.

*By FAR the most annoying setback is the fact that it is difficult to unscrew anything from the tripod mount, without entirely unscrewing the case from the camera. Every time I use my monopod with the bottom case attached, I have to unscrew my camera first, and THEN unscrew the monopod.

-

OVERALL: If you don't plan on using a monopod/tripod and are just walking around shooting free-hand, this case is PERFECT; it adds the protection of a full case, but allows you to take photos in less than 5 seconds (just unsnap the side snaps to free the lens from the case). HOWEVER, if you plan on using a monopod, or a couple filters, it'll be more of a pain than it's worth keeping on. Regardless, in my opinion this case is a must-have for the 3N.

I have mixed feelings about this case.

First, I have a Sony NEX 3N. This case is a bit large when used with the smaller lens. It does include a very small section for at least two cards; however, I wish it would have given a bit more space for an extra battery or other items.

I put my zoom lens on and unzipped the expandable bag to fit the length of the longer lens. I was very unhappy with the padding on the lens area once I extended the case. I didn't feel comfortable that the lens was protected enough so I added more protection to the lens area before I felt at ease.

This isn't the "perfect" case for me. However, I haven't really found one that I like any better but I will keep looking.

I like the looks of this bag, and it seems well-made, but it's not quite large enough for a pro-sized body. From the dimensions, I thought it would fit, but the top of the bag is not as wide as the bottom. I found it difficult to zip this bag closed with a pro body in it, unless I removed the lens. Not ideal. This would be a great camera bag if it were just a inch or so wider or taller. As it is...the "Ginger" is a better choice if you have a pro body.

My wife wanted something more stylish than the standard bulky camera bag that came with her DSLR. She is very pleased with this bag. There are separate compartments for the camera and accessories. Everything fits nice and securely and there is room for all of her other day to day stuff. the materials are of good quality and it seems to be sturdily assembled. You really can't tell this is a camera bag, which is the idea, I guess.

I like backpack type cases, whether for computers or cameras. It leaves your arms free, although you have to put the pack down to get things in and out of it. It holds my DSLR with a lens on it and three other lenses, including a very big 80~200 zoom. It has plenty of pockets and places to store things, and the tripod holder works very well. I also like the handle on top that lets you just pick the pack up and go.

Full, it's quite a load to carry, but I think I'd rather have it on my back than slung over my shoulder. However, it's hard to say whether this pack is the one for you. A shoulder bag is easier to get things in and out of, and a belt pack is very convenient if you only need room for a few items.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I use the bag with my Canon 5D + 4 lens (70-200L, 24-70L, 16-35L and 85mm) and a flash and that pretty much fills up the primary storage area. The adjustable pads made it easy to lay everything out, but it is packed tight.

Carrying the equipment when its in the bag is much easier on my shoulders than my old Domke shoulder bag. I don't have much of a problem with getting the camera out and changing lens as I don't often change lens when I'm on the run (usually when I want to swap lens frequently is when I'm standing still taking lots of pictures of some event such as a sporting event).

Secondary storage area is great for carrying other stuff -book, snacks, video camera (small), etc.

Very happy with the bag. Much preferred over my old shoulder bag.

Good little backpack. Has plenty of room, for it's size. Fits in plane overhead compartment with no problem, even when full.

Honest reviews on Lowepro Mini Trekker AW Backpack (Green)

I bought one of these about 13-14 years ago. Back then it didn't have the AW feature. But in other respects the bag hasn't changed much over the years... I used to carry 2 x Leica SLRs and a set of lenses, 24mm or a 35mm (not both), 50mm, 90mm, 200mm, along with a Sunpak flash, film etc. Now I carry a Lumix DMC-FZ20 bridge cameray, FZ20 lens hood, LX7 backup P&S, Samsung Camcorder, and a bunch of batteries, chargers, and misc cables. In the front flap I carry either a 15.6" laptop or a 10.1" Netbook.

So, even though it's called a "mini" trekker, it holds a ton of stuff. Of all the bags I have and have looked at, for me this is the most functional.

This thing has been on hundreds of trips and still looks and works like new. There are lots of good bags out there, LowePro makes really nice stuff. This bag is worth looking at before you buy anything else.

I bought this backpack based on the two previous reviews, and I have to say that I'm pleased with it, overall. There are a couple of little things that I haven't adjusted myself to yet, since I haven't used the backpack a lot yet. But I haven't found a good way to attach and carry my tripod. When I figure that out, I'll have no complaints at all. I also have a little problem with one of my cameras fitting into one of the camera compartments. My Nikon D200 has an added battery pack on the bottom, which makes it a little too tall to fit in the designated place, but it looks like I can reorganize the compartments without too much trouble, so I plan to try that.

This case fits the SD200 very well. When the sd200 is in the case, it becomes as thick as an s410 camera (by itself, without a case on). It is pretty stiff so it should protect it from scratches and even mild pressure applied to it. It has a magnetic buckle that snaps into place and snaps off easily. The material feels very good in the hand, and looks very classy. The top flap has a small hole where the wrist strap prong slips through.

The back features a belt loop (not a clasp) for you to slide a belt through, or feed it through a strap (ie a messenger bag) although the latter would be a bad idea as the magnetic clasp on the flap isnt very strong, it could unbuckle pretty easily (as it is meant to do).

the front of the camera is meant to face the front of the case (and the back faces the belt loop). that gives the lcd screen extra protection. it is the only way the sd200 fits in this case (as the strap pront faces the front).

Along the sides, there seems to be a semi rigid insert .. top and bottom. probly plastic or cardboard, under the leather material. this helps prevent the buttons from being depressed, accidentally turning the camera on while in the case.

Fantastic case, looks great, feels great, small.

Downside ... no pocket for a spare battery. There is a tiny slit of a pocket in the case .. but it seems to be made for a sd case.

No Personal Attack is Intended BUT as someone who owns a Red PSC-90 case, I have to point out that Gabriel's review is TOTALLY WRONG !!!! I had actually placed my order with Amazon before reading his review. His review made me worry needlessly. My previous camera was a Canon S410 and now I own a Canon SD200 so I am well aware of their differences in size. All I can say is that his must have been mislabeled or he ordered the wrong bag. It's A CUSTOM FIT TRUST ME. The case is at least an inch shorter than the one for the Canon "S" series (I had the black leather one). Come on peoplethis is Canon we're talking about. They're not going to sell you a bag that's not intended for the specific camera(s). Even the silver Canon label is half the size as the ones intended for the Canon S500.

Finally, it is made from very high quality grade leather and I wasn't sure about the red (in the picture) but in person, it's very striking. The strap is made from the same grade leather. I like the look of the strap but it's unfortunately a bit too stiff. I have reverted back to the original strap but that's my only minor complaint. Granted, I think more women than men will like the RED but I'm so happy not to have another "boring, black leather camera bag". As far as dimensions, I don't need to measure them all I know is that it fits perfectly without any wiggle room ANYWHERE. The leather is also nice and rigid and will last for many years to come. If you have the Canon Sd200/300, get this case WITHOUT A MOMENT'S HESITATION (unless you want a bag to carry your extra accessories as well)! And yes, the other reviewer is correct there's no room for a card (or anything else that matter) but that's exactly what I was looking for. An ultra-compact bag for my ultra-compact camera!

Best Deals for Canon PSC-90 Deluxe Leather Case for the SD200, SD300, SD450, SD400

I bought this along with my SD 450 and I love it. This is only a good case if you have an ultracompact camera (like the ones listed in the product title) and want to KEEP it ultracompact. That's why I got it, and if you don't care about ease of shoving your camera in your pocket, then don't bother with this one.

There is obviously no place for anything but the camera, and I don't see an issue with that. If you get a 1GB memory card, that should be all you need. And if you want to keep your camera super portable, then why have a need for an extra battery in your pocket anyway? If you really want that, get a bigger case (probably not the PSC 50 though, which may actually damage your camera).

However, this case is much more stylish than the PSC 50 as the quality is obviously very good, and the very official looking Canon logos on the flap and wrist strap make it look even better. Plus, it's a perfectly snug fit to keep dust, dirt, and scratches from your camera, which to me is the whole point in getting a camera case (i.e. not for extra storage space). I've dropped it on my carpeted floor a couple of times and it has been just fine (then again, I've tripped into a wall with the camera and nothing happened to it at all because it's a Canon). I've only used it for a couple of weeks, but my camera has no blemishes whatsoever and everyone thinks the case looks cute and posh. I definitely like its wriststrap better than the one that came with my camera.

The biggest drawback is that you have to pass the wriststrap through a hole every time you want to take it out, which means that it could take up to 10 seconds for you to get your camera out and then turn it on. I don't know how they could've improved this though, and I like being able to hold it very securely through the case with the strap. Plus, the magnetic button partially makes up for it since it makes it easier to put away. The belt loop on the back can be quite handy as well.

In summary, if you don't mind not having space for extras and you don't mind pushing the strap through the hole on top for removal (though the hole is fairly large), then you definitely won't be disappointed with this. It's especially easy on your wallet. I would still buy a screen protector for your LCD though, because this case can only protect the screen while it's actually in there ;)

Oh, and don't be careless with your screen. If you put the screen in facing the front of the case then it couldn't possibly get scratched by the button.

Honest reviews on Canon PSC-90 Deluxe Leather Case for the SD200, SD300, SD450, SD400

I looked at this case for my new Canon SD400. Three major problems with the three Canon cases I looked at (Coach, PSC50, PSC90):

1) They attach to your belt with the camera vertical. A horizontal mount is much less intrusive.

2) No room for an extra battery. With no battery life indication on this Canon model I want an extra battery with the camera always.

3) They either are very expensive looking (Coach) or have a metal Canon logo on the front. This is a big sign that says steal me! The metal logo tag is also prone to scratch things.

My previous camera and case was the Canon S330 and the soft case made for it. It had a perfect size pouch for a spare battery and I removed the metal Canon logo. Alas it is no longer available.

I bought the Pentax PTX-L40 for my new Canon SD400. It is a perfect fit in all ways. The embossed Pentax logo is subtle.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Canon PSC-90 Deluxe Leather Case for the SD200, SD300, SD450, SD400

What I like most about the case is that it's small, compact, and not as bulky as some Sony and third-party alternatives. The leather looks nice, but a higher quality leather (softer, on the surface) would be much better.

What makes me concern is that the flap button of the case could easily scratch the LCD screen, if you're not careful while pulling the camera out. That's why I give it 3 stars instead of 5.

Overall, a nice concept, but the rather mediocre design and the serious flap button flaw make me not completely happy for having purchased this item.

This is the "Panasonic" case for the GX1--fits perfect. There is NOT a tripod screw to hold case to body, but you really do not need it--it fits like a glove with enough friction to keep it stationary--of course the end closures secure the case to the body at the strap interface--there are a number of after market cases available, but the quality of the Panasonic version is excellent.

Excellent seller fulfillment---came right on schedule and in perfect condition.

Another Comment; the camera screen back cover cannot be removed from the main case; one side is fixed and one side has a closure snap.

This is not a problem since the fixed side slides away and down nicely to see and use all the camera controls.Personally I like this,

as the back cover will always be available and will not get lost---thx

Perfect case for GX1 camera. Does not protect lens barrel, but as a result, the camera can be used quickly when in case.

Best Deals for Panasonic DMW-CGK14 Leather Case For Panasonic DMC-GX1 - Black

This is a fantastic case for the GX1. It fits snugly, fits the screen, and doesn't detract from the aesthetics of the camera. The back flap snaps into place to go in your bag, and swivels out when unsnapped to reveal the LCD and camera controls. I imagine that this works especially great with the Panasonic DMW-LVF2 External Live Viewfinder as you probably wouldn't even need the LCD nearly as often.

While it doesn't need the tripod mount to secure itself on the case, there's also no hole for inserting the camera itself onto a tripod. This would be nice, and I might end up drilling a hole myself so I never have to take the case off. That being said, you aren't going to find a better case than this one.

Honest reviews on Panasonic DMW-CGK14 Leather Case For Panasonic DMC-GX1 - Black

I was happy with a case from Panasonic and was expecting a case that covered not only the body, but also the lens. Unfortunately that is not the fact. The case is well made and fits perfectly, but i was disappointed to find that it did not covered the lens. At the price they charge for this, they should include a top closure that also protects the lens. They sent also a carrying band that is really not necessary, and it seems like an apology for not protecting the lens.

If i seem repetitive, it is because i want to make it clear for those buying this case-it does not cover the lens-. I kept the product as i did not want to expend more time searching for the product i expected.

Hope this helps others make an informed decision on this product.

I got this for my brand new Lumix GX1 and it fits great, looks great and is an interesting design. Great quality leather and soft lining for a custom fit. Like the idea that it forces you to only use the add on view finder, but after a while it also seems limiting. Thankfully it is easy to drop the back cover down or snap off to one side to get to the touch screen and buttons. Also, I wish you didn't have to take the whole cover off to access the sd card, battery and tripod mount. THere are others out there that deal with these issues but, they are pretty expensive, so this is a nice compromise. The included strap is nothing to scream about. I am happy to have it, so I do recommend but if one came out that solved a few of my issues I would spring for that.

Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder.
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

After searching through reviews online, I decided to purchase the HB-207. Users had lauded its comfort, ease of use, and versatility. The bag is very sturdy, comfortably designed, and has the capability of holding a ton of equipment. In fact, there are times when I have loaded down the bag to the point that it didn't meet airline carry-on weight expectations. Nevertheless, because it is a backpack, I've never been asked to weigh it or check it at the airline counter.

The bag is a bit large for casual use. I would not recommended it as a day pack due to its bulky girth. The bag is also not as convenient as a traditional shoulder bag when it comes to accessing your gear. Despite its size, however, it still comfortably fits in an airline luggage compartment.

The rear laptop compartment fits a bit snug. If you are using a Mac or a small, slim computer, you should be fine. But if your computer measures greater than 15 1/2" x 11" x 2", you'll be shoving and prodding just to get it to fit.

In conclusion, the bag's pros consist of sturdy, well-crafted design, comfort, space, versatility, and, to a degree, inconspicuousness. The cons might be it's lack of easy access on the field and its girth, rendering it useless for day trips. But the bags pros far outweigh the cons.

This pack is also great for hiking and evenly distributes the weight of your gear , and you strap on a tripod, which makes for great landscape photography.

Easily fits into airplane overhead compartments.

Best Deals for Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder.

Kata products are unbelievably well thought through and the build quality is fantanstic. Be aware that they are made for a very large males, and are heavy. I'm 5'5" and had to return the HB-207 because it was huge, and wouldn't fit my frame.

There are tons of pockets, straps, interior accesories like mesh bags with velcro that come with the pack that I didn't expect. If the size will work for you, the "systems" kata offers are like nothing else available.

Honest reviews on Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack for DSLR system or DV/HDV camcorder.

Being an independent filmmaker, I own a lot of photo and video bags and cases. PortaBrace, LowePro, Pelican, Tamrac, etc. This is my first Kata product and I am very impressed. The functionality and quality is excellent and I really like the way they implemented their system approach to accessories. This is one tough and versatile photo backpack. They are also very competitively priced. All-in-all, a great product.

I just received my HB-207 two days ago and so far I am very impressed. This is my first camera backpack ever. It seems very well made, has lots of room and is very comfortable on my shoulders. It is very well balanced and easy to carry by the handle on top. I like the option of attaching a tripod or monopod on either side or the back. All that at a price that is highly competitive when compared with better known brands.
