Customer Review: Case Logic?
Summary: 4 Stars
Case Logic? If you say say so. I have mixed feelings about this case. The construction seems top notch, plenty of padding, tough zippers that work well, overall a good buy. I purchased this for my Lumix FZ35, it's a good fit and it looks like it will keep this pricey little gem fairly safe. It's OK, but I've already got my eye out for a replacement.
My review is specific to the camera that I purchased it for, but I think similar problems will exist with other cameras of similar size and shape.
The problem with this Case, is the Logic, or lack thereof. Let me break it down for you. The only practical way to place a camera in the case is to place it on it's back with the lens facing up, this is the most efficient and works well. If I put it in some other way I would not be able to put in the lens visor that came with my camera (which I do by removing it and flipping it around backwards over the lens). If your camera is bigger than my FZ35 this is not the case for you.
The back of the case has a sturdy belt strap which the designers apparently meant to be used seeing as the lid unzips away from the back of the case. Unzipping the lid reveals a small zipper pouch a bit larger than a credit card, not roomy enough for extra batteries but you could place a lens filter or maybe half a dozen memory cards in here with no problem, this is beneath the lid. There are also 2 exterior pockets, one on each side, it's a great concept but a poor design, this is my problem with the "logic" of this case.
Why would a company design pockets into a bag that could not be practically used? The pockets are sewn rounded up from the bottom of the bag, they are rounded. What this means is, if you should bother to put anything in them that would be considered standard fare in a photographic setup (battery charger, 2 extra batteries, usb data cable, extra filter, or the detachable shoulder strap should you use the belt strap feature) the pockets cannot contain the items without pressing them into the interior of the case. What this means is, if you put your camera in the case and fill the exterior pockets, you will have to empty said pockets to remove your camera or if you fill the pockets first you will not be able to place your camera in the case, very frustrating.
I've somehow managed to get all the items I mentioned above into this case as well as the AV cable that came with my camera, it works for me since I use this while cross country backpacking and space is at a premium for me. But I find that most of the time, while my gear stays in the case and packed away in my ruck, the camera is bobbing along around my neck or nestled in my fanny pack. I like this case and yet I could have easily given it 3 stars for what I consider a major design flaw. In an attempt to be stylish, the designers have seriously impaired the funtionality of this item. I hope this was helpful. Shalom.
