The magnetized flap is great since I often open it up in my purse with one hand and pull the camera out without having to pull the entire case out and open it up. I keep my G10 in my purse when I'm on the go and wanted a hard case that would keep scratches off the screen and body and provide a buffer so that no sharp objects also floating around in my purse would puncture the screen (I keep a lot of stuff in my purse). It's shaped so that even if the magnetized flap came up on it's own in my purse, the leather flap keeps the camera from being exposed to the elements in my bag.I use the camera with the Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash which I also chuck in my purse and while it would be nice to be able to keep the two together, I appreciate that I can leave the flash at home if I know I won't be using it and I won't have to lug around any extra bulk. This was perfect - the case does not add any bulk to the actual camera yet is sturdy enough to provide the protection I was hoping for. The G10 fits snugly in the case so the soft lining helps to pull the camera out or slide it back in. When I do use the two, I just loop the flash bag's cord through the metal snap on the side.This case is exactly what I was looking for. Very pleased.
You pull flip the top up, then the front (with the silver logo) flips down (towards you in the photo) revealing that this front piece has a top part that sits parallel to the original/outer top. From the photo you would logically think that the top flips up and you pull the camera up out of the case. However that is not the case. So after you flip the top up and the front out, you can pull the camera out of the case. It can be annoying.I would prefer a simpler, top up camera out case.
I should have ordered the Canon PSC-4000 Deluxe Leather Case that is for the Canon SX10IS Digital Camera which I have. The second case attaches to the side of the camera case.
It stays closed via a magnetic snap, assisted by velcro. To open the PSC-5000 case the front pulls away at the top.
It has a strap so it can be attached to your belt. It can be used to hold a spare memory card and a backup battery for the camera.
A small, second case comes with the package. It's about the size of a 1-1/2"" cube.
The case is compact and well built.I ordered this case by mistake and it was too small for my camera. I returned the PSC-5000, but after looking it over, I was impressed and did order the PSC-4000.
Great case for my G9. Well made and keeps my camera protected. I use the belt clip but it comes with a carrying strap too. There's a small side case for extra memory cars if needed.
This is a must have for your average photographer that wants to protect his/her investment. By the way it looks nice as well and attached to your belt.
