Good idea, but... [Posted on 2008-07-22]
I really liked the idea of an "always on" case for my digital camera camera (Olympus 850) for the additional protection and less fumbling while out taking pictures. I bought the camera to use while hiking, camping, and deployed and it gets a lot of use. Because it gets so much use I charge the battery frequently and this is where the case is NOT a good match for this camera.
The attachment for the case is in the tripod mount on the bottem of the camera. The attachment is secure but it also blocks the battery compartment. With frequent (sometimes daily) recharging, this is at best inconvenient and requires the complete removal and reinstallation of the case with every battery charge or memory card change.
The case itself is lightweight with enough padding to meet the intended purpose and I still think its a great idea, it just doesn't work with this camera...
Handy protection [Posted on 2008-08-26]
This is a very simple protective cover for the camera. It is not a camera case. That being said, it offer great protection and because it is secured to the camera by the tripod screw it won't be lost and it is easy to close. The price is right and it is worth getting.
Awesome slim camera case [Posted on 2008-10-06]
I love this case. I use it every day. Now I can have a case on my camera and still easily fit my camera into my pocket. My previous camera is scratched and battered and has generally taken a major beating. I didn't use a case because none of my previous cases would fit in my pocket, plus I never knew what to do with the case once I have taken my camera out.
This case allows me to carry my camera with me everywhere. I just whip out the camera unroll and take a picture.
As far as recharging my batteries and accessing my memory card, I simply loosen the screw on the bottom, with a penny, and rotate it out of the way of my access door. I have a Sony W200.
I may have the upgrade version from this here as my case has a built in Tripod which is also very cool, so I don't have issues with having to put a tripod on. Now I always have a tripod whenever I need it. Although I don't use it very often.
Overall, the best case I have ever had for a compact camera.
I quit using it after a couple of weeks. [Posted on 2009-01-06]
I saw in other reviews where people complained about the metal part on the bottom blocking the SD card and battery slots. I thought it wasn't going to be that big of a deal. I was wrong. The case is well made and fit my Fujifilm Z20 perfectly, but ultimately it just became too much of a hassle. I got tired to taking the cover off and putting it back on all the time, so I stopped using it. It may not bother some people, but it did bother me. YMMV.
Small cameras only [Posted on 2009-01-08]
I bought this case for my new Panasonic TZ5 as it was a recommended accessory on the Amazon page for the camera. It turns out that it's really too small for the TX5 as you have to stretch it to get it to wrap around the camera. We gave it to my Son-in-Law and it fits his smaller Panasonic camera just fine. He's very pleased with it as it's very easy to use and is "Always on" the camera.
