Summary: NIce Case, But...
Review: I bought both cases for my new Dimage Xt. I wasn't sure which sounded better and I figured they aren't all that expensive, so why not? See my other review in the Casual case's buying information.

I my opinion the Deluxe case is a little less well designed than the Casual case, although neither is quite perfect. Here are my thoughts on the Deluxe case.

Pros:
1. It's made out of real nice fake leather; the kind that really feels and looks like glove leather.
2. The belt clip is quick to get on and off your belt.
3. The soft, fuzzy lining is easy on the camera.
4. The back and front of the camera pocket are nice and stiff, like they will provide some real protection.

Cons:
1. The Deluxe case has a spring-loaded belt clip permanently attached on the back which makes it pretty much un-pocketable.
2. It feels like I am crushing the camera when I squeeze the lever to open the belt clip. I would clip the case to my belt BEFORE I put the camera in it.
3. The SD card holder is a rather weak elastic strap in the front pocket. It doesn't hold the cards securely, at all.
4. The front pocket top opening is lower than the main pocket, so it fells like whatever I put in it is not being held in by the flap like the camera is. This is probably OK for walking around, but any bouncier activity (running, climbing, etc.) or even sitting renders the pocket a bit insecure.
5. Aside from the soft fuzzy lining, there is no padding.

Overall, it's a fairly nice case, but could have been designed a little better.

Summary: One choice not available in the US
Review: I checked for alternative cases for my Xg on www.amazon.co.jp and found Konica Minolta CS-DG800 there. Too bad that it is not available in the US.

Summary: Case
Review: I find that the camera fits perfectly in the case. The case is compact and has decent cushion for protection. They only bad thing is the front pocket which is for extra battery/memory card is too big. The extra battery I put in mine is always falling out when I open the case to take out the camera. If I had known this before I purchased it I would not have bought it.

Summary: Minolta case
Review: I find the camera fits perfectly in the case and there is decent cushioning to protect the camera. The draw back with this case is the front pocket which is to hold extra battery/memory card is way too big and doesn't hold the extra battery in place. Every time I open the case to remove the camera the battery falls out. If I had known this prior to purchasing the case I would have gotten a different one.

Summary: Minolta case
Review: I like the horizontally oriented case. It has two compartments, one for the camera, and one for extra battery and/or memory. THE CLIP IS CHEAPLY MADE, plastic which doesn't accept handsome torque without showing stress cracks and breaking, and WORSE, the black plastic clip is held in place by a small pitiful metal pin. WORST OF ALL is that the clip handle jabs a large man in the belly from the belt...not ergonomically designed. I have a much cheaper case which is better designed and more functional, and won't break if I accidently press the case agains a chair arm, or bump it hard getting in the car. I would not have bought it if I had held it in my hands before purchase. I recommend you shop around for something that doesn't have a cheap plastic clip which is held in place by a cheap ugly piece of wire.

Summary: A case is a case is a case!
Review: Nice little leather-like case that adds a little extra protection for traveling around with the Dimage-X. A small pocket is located on the front for holding an extra battery and/or memory card. Belt clip on back also comes in handy at times. I've had camera in case fall to the ground on a couple occasions, and the cases raised edges protected the camera well.

Summary: It's a camera case for crying out loud!!
Review: Ughhh... it's just a case. The camera fits and the velcro works; what else can I say. It's doing exactly what I'm paying for. It doesn't make me an omlette in the morning or anything.
