Digital camera reviews of Canon PSC-1000 Deluxe Grey Leather Case for the Canon SD1000, SD1100IS, SD770IS nad SD1200IS Digital Cameras
Digital camera Review: Average
Summary: 3 Stars
It fits the camera well but I think I'd rather have a case where I can take pictures without removing the case since it's less likely to get dropped when I'm not using it anyway.Digital camera Review: Bad Idea
Summary: 2 Stars
The case is a nice looking case. This is my third Canon Camera and I ususally the "clasp" on the case is velcro. This case has a magnetic clasp which is not very strong. the case keeps flopping open at inopportune moments. I wish they would have used velcro.Digital camera Review: Badly designed case - look elsewhere
Summary: 1 Stars
BADLY DESIGNED CASE! It is way too snug - very hard to take the camera out or put it in. The hole at the top is too small to work with the strap suppled with the camera, and worst of all the magnetic closure does not close! Mine is going straight back.Digital camera Review: Be sure you know what you want and what this delivers
Summary: 4 Stars
Prior reviewers have commented on lack of room for spare battery or memory card, strong magnetic closure, and incompatibility with camera's wrist strap.
What I needed in a case was mechanical protection -- the camera is small and, I suspect, somewhat fragile, so I wanted to give it some cushioning for when the camera was not going to live in a shirt pocket. This is does well. Having the belt loop is useful for when my shirt pocket has too much else in it already. If you want a single place to put extra batteries, memory cards, etc., you should take your camera and extra stuff to a camera store and buy a generic case that is large enough for your needs.
Don't buy this for anything other than a Canon SD 1000 unless your camera is EXACTLY the same size. The case is made to fit very snugly.
I didn't find the magnet all that strong, but seems strong enough to keep the cover from flapping when it's on my belt. No danger of camera falling out of the case in any event because of the snugness.
The interaction between case and camera's wrist strap is indeed bizarre. The case doesn't close firmly with the strap attached to the camera unless the strap is first threaded through the hole in the top of the case, in which case, it is cumbersome both to insert and extract the camera. Clearly designed by somebody who wasn't going to use it. And I find the strap indispensable because of the small size of the camera -- just too easy to drop otherwise.
Four stars instead of five because of the last glitch. Even though it meets my primary objective, the strap business gets in the way. (If the thin cord that attaches the strap to the camera were about an inch longer, at least the cover would close, even though the strap hangs out.)
Digital camera Review: Below expectations, Better off with PSC-55.
Summary: 2 Stars
Leather is stiff and thin, which is not evident in the online pictures. If you want a comfortable, leather case that will protect your camera, and even comes with a leather strap, go for the Canon PSC-55, for a couple extra dollars.
