Perfect Case for people on the go!

I am a professional photographer. The Elph I have is my "play" camera. I got it because of it's size. The problem was it wasn't as convenient as I thought carrying it in my pockets. I found myself leaving it at home. SO>>>
I bought this soft leather case. It is exactly what it is supposed to be for me. A way to carry my Elph on my belt. I forget that I have it on. Until that really cool oppertunity arises. (Which, in San Francisco it does a lot)
The camera is right there at my side. Out in a second. I can take my photo and slip it back into the case with one hand.
Yes, it is a little snug when you first get it. But, this is soft leather and it "grows" with use. Fitting the camera perfectly.
It protects the camera from scratches. But, I wouldn't consider it as a protector, as much as a convenient way to wear the camera on a belt. The perfect case for people who are on the go as much as I am.

Canon ELPH Leather Case

This is a cute little black case. My S410 4MP camera fits perfectly in this case (there is no room for anything else, so if you are looking for a camera bag which will fit all your accessories, don't buy this case).

The only down side is the big tacky gold lettering on the case. I wish they used smaller fonts in silver lettering. But it's a good case to lug your camera around in if you go on short trips.

This will cover, but not PROTECT, your camera!

This case is effectively just a soft leather sheath. It has no strap or clip--just a belt loop--nor does it have storage for extra batteries or memory cards.

OK, so it's a classy little case, the price is right, and it fits the camera perfectly, but it fails at its basic purpose, which is to protect the camera. There is absolutely no padding or rigidity whatsoever, so when you put this compact little bundle into your purse or pocket, that vulnerable LCD screen remains just as vulnerable.

When (not if) you bonk something against that ill-protected screen, it will crack, and the $100+ repair will not be covered by your Canon warranty.

Ask me how I know this? My daughter, who purchased her Elph with Christmas money and a year's babysitting savings, has had hers for all of two weeks, and it's already on its way to the shop. I might add that this is NOT an irresponsible child, just one who carries pens and a calculator in her purse with the camera.

Avoid a similar scenario and spend a few bucks on a REAL case, please. Canon should be able to do better.
