Summary: A Protective Cover, But Doesn't Fit Properly
Comment: This case is far from deluxe. Yes, it'll prevent scratches, but the camera handle doesn't properly fit through the hole in this case. Also, the flap doesn't give me enough confidence that my camera won't slip out because the magnet isn't *that* strong. I think this case is about average in function but below average in look and feel, hence the two star review.

Summary: Stiff thick leather makes the camera bulky
Comment: I bought this for my Canon about two weeks ago. While the leather is attractive and shiny, it does not do justice to the camera. I spent a lot of time trying to find a slim camera that is easy to slide in my jacket pocket or my wife's purse and out to take photos quickly and with ease. Well, first off, this stiff case makes the "quickly" out of the picture. The camera fits into the case very tightly, and the little slot to run the camera strap is too tight. So you have to spend a good amount of time to take the camera in and out of the case. Additionaly, the thick front magnetic flap of the case it too thick and adds bulk to the dimension. I like that it is magnetic, but the whole wrap-around is unnecessary and over-kill. Ideally a point-and-shoot camera should have very soft and thin leather (that fits like a glove). I use this case only for storage of the camera, but prefer not using it on trips; I know that defeats the purpose of the case becasue you want to protect the camera during use. Please note that other than the camera this case will hold nothing else --certainly no accessory, media card or even a toothpick!

Summary: A good cover with some design quirks but it kills the whole point of having a compact camera!
Comment: This is a good high quality cover. Well, thats about all that is good.
The biggest issue I have is with how bulky it makes the camera. You buy a camera which is subcompact expecting to slip it into a pocket unnoticed. Then you buy this cover from the manufacturer for the same camera and it literally doubles the volume of the camera. That too without adding any useful pockets for spare batteries, memory card etc! I think that is unacceptable.
Also, the slot on the cover flap for passing the camera strap is useless and shocking given that Canon designed the cover as well as the camera! The camera strap has this small friction device that lets you adjust strap length. However, the slot is not large enough to let that device pass through. So you essentially cannot pass the strap through the slot.
Very disappointing I must say.

Summary: Nice case, but...
Comment: I bought this case for the Canon SD1100 Gold. It fits snugly inside with no room for anything else, including the wrist strap which should fit through the space at the top of the case. Mine has no room for carrying extra cards or batteries. My case is definitely burgundy but it is not a soft leather. It is a hard textured surface but it is attractive. The case does make carrying my camera more bulky but protection from damage is more important than size.

Summary: Camera case
Comment: The camera case is sturdy and protects the camera. It would be good to have a small area for a spare battery or memory card but it is compact which is good. It's easy to open to get the camera out in a hurry.
