Case Logic DCB-302 Compact Case for Camera - Black - DCB302 4.9 x 2.8 x 3.1 in

After acquiring my S95 I went looking for the smallest possible case to hold it and a few accessories. What I found were cases with nice designs but limited functionality. As in all things in life, everyone prioritizes and makes compromises...After starting out with the Olympus Horizontal Neoprene and Nylon Case (Black) I found a very nice, stylish and compact case with 2 small issues, a slight magnetic closure misalignment & somewhat offense odor.Its a great case for the S95 if you are looking to carry only the bare essentials; camera and 2-spare memory cards (w/out plastic sleeves or cases).You can read my review here:http://www.amazon.com/review/R16VC0Y97PZV74I also tried the Case Logic TBC-302 Ultra Compact Camera Case with Storage (Black) and found a similar size case but with a very different look and a slightly expanded capacity. While I view the Olympus case as slightly more stylish, I see the Case Logic as more utilitarian. Not only can it hold my S95 and memory cards, but I can also squeeze in a battery.See my review here:http://www.amazon.com/review/R3FUPIGEUSIFKMIn my quest to pack just a little more into the smallest case I discovered the Case Logic DCB-302. Unlike the Olympus which sits on you belt horizontally, this case (similar to the TBC-302), is oriented vertically. Personal preference will dictate which you prefer as each has it's advantages and disadvantages. The horizontal orientation makes it less obtrusive when worn on your belt and facilitates easier insertion and removal of the camera. But it tends to bulge slightly when sitting in your car with a seat belt wrapped around you. Truthfully, none of these really work that well in this scenario.But what really sets the Case Logic DCB-302 apart from the other 2 cases is its exceptionally compact size and flexible storage capacity. Its made from a "ballistic" fabric similar to soft-sided luggage, very durable. The accessory pouch has a fine "mesh" design with a thin vertical red stripe detail that sets it off nicely. The sturdy zippers have perfectly sized "pulls" that are rubberized making it easy to open and close. The interior has a sewn-in light gray nylon lining, sort of generic but effective.Granted, it is the widest (thickest) of the three due primarily to it's accessory pouch but it also affords the most capacity. The overall outline is slightly larger (barely) than the Olympus case but with just a little "puffier" padding and more rounded corners. Its an attractive and elegant design that appears well made; securely contains both camera and accessories and provides flexible carrying options.You can either wear it on your belt (thread it through the stitched, wide loop sewn on back) or over your shoulder using the included adjustable shoulder strap that clips to 2 small plastic hook loops (attached at the top back side).While there is no question this design bulges slightly when worn on your belt its two zippered compartments will securely carry the following:- S95 Camera- (3) SDHC Cards (w/plastic cases) (2 spares + 1 in camera)- (4) Batteries (3 spares & 1 in camera)If you are willing to pack only one spare battery you can mange this optional arrangement:- S95 Camera- (2-3) SDHC Cards (w/plastic cases) (2 spares + 1 in camera or possibly 3 spares if you omit the plastic cases)- (2) Batteries (1 in camera + 1 spare inside charger)- Canon CB-2LY Li-Ion Battery Charger for NB-6L Li-Ion BatteriesBTW, I also purchased Wasabi Power Battery and Charger Kit for Canon NB-6L, PowerShot D10, S90, S95, SD770 IS, SD980 IS, SD1200 IS, SD1300 IS, SD3500 IS, SD4000 IS, ELPH 500 HS and unfortunately discovered the battery charger design is very different from the Canon (much thicker) and will definitely NOT fit in the accessory pouch along with the S95.All this in a profile approximately 1/3 wider than the Olympus case which I consider to be the slimmest! Given all my requirements (size, style, quality, capacity and very reasonable price, I got it for $5.98) its an excellent value. It's not perfect (nothing is) but it does provide the smallest footprint while carrying what I consider the most essential items for an extended photo shoot.

Very nice, well-built case. It barely fits the Olympus Tough TG-7 camera - I mean barely. It will not fit with the bulky Olympus wrist strap attached. WIthout the strap, it is a nice snug fit. The case quality is high. External pocket fits battery & SD card or the like.

UPDATE 02/04/2018The case is still intact (looks almost new) and I've taken it with me to many day outings, events and longer vacations. I bought one last year in October to give to my youngest daughter for her birthday along with a new Canon A1400 Point & Shoot Camera. The new case has the same part number as the older case but is different. Whereas the older case had a pair of hooks at the top and an adjustable thinner strap, the new case only hooks up at one place at the top and has a thicker strap. Gone also is the belt loop strap (which I never used as a belt loop rather a place to place my hands to hold the case. Was it a cost saving measure? Still it's a good way to protect the camera. I should probably buy another one for the other Canon A1400 that I am holding in reserve for a special occasion.UPDATE 04/01/2016I've had this case for 2 years now and have taken it with me to my child's school events and on vacations. It's a perfect size for Canon A1400 Point and Shoot camera. I've had as many as 6 AA batteries in the front compartment or usually have 4 in their, a spare SD card and a place for my keys. It's easy to wear around the neck and easy to get to the camera. No complaints. It was because of my experience with this Case Logic product that I bought a Case Logic Sling for my DSLR. Very good quality products.ORIGINAL REVIEWI purchased this case to go with a Canon A1400 Point and Shoot camera. The camera fits in nicely with a little room to spare & the additional zippered pouch with a small net inside is great for an extra memory card as well as a pair of spare AA batteries. On occasion I've put 4 spare AA batteries when I know I will probably be using the flash a lot or taking lots of pictures. Amazon considered this an Add -on and I was able to get a price reduction when I purchased it alongside a camera. It comes with a strap and can be worn around the wrist, neck or shoulder. A great way to protect your camera for very little money.

This case was recommended by Amazon as an accessory when I bought a Canon SX-160. Unfortunately I missed some of the reviews that warned that the case is too small to hold this particular camera and I did not notice the dimensions of the case in the advertising. Well, the case IS much too small and I can't use it so I gave it to a family member for her Canon A1100 and it fits perfectly.Other than that misstep, the case is quite a good one for the money. The nylon material is rugged - as all the Case Logic gear is - and the small external zippered pocket is fine for carrying an extra memory card and a couple of spare AA batteries. There's no room for a charger or any accessories - this case is something you'd grab with your camera if you were going out to shoot a few pictures.It has a large belt loop and a chintzy detachable shoulder strap. The main compartment has only one zipper and it would be more convenient to use if it was double-zippered but that's a quibble.Overall it's really a nice little case - too small for an SX-160 (or SX-170) but very good indeed for the A1100 and smaller sized cameras.
