Summary: Rubber belt loop is weak
Review: After using the case, I'm revising my comments. I understand everyone's point about the missing strap. My kids commented how stupid it looks to have the case hanging on the strap while I'm using the camera. (what can I say, I'm a nerd) And, the loop provided to hold the strap always manages to tangle up the strap. Frustrating! Now, I'm left with taking the case off altogether. The belt loop doesn't look strong enough either. I never intended to use it, so I didn't buy the case based on that feature. Still I love having the case that the manufacturer made intended for my camera. The good fit makes for good protection. And, I love that touch of purple and how it matches my camera. This bag will be useful when I'm bike riding and want to take just my camera and cell phone along. Because, as I said before, the storage area is big enough to hold that little something extra. I compared this to the Nikon leather bag ... and the leather bag didn't have as much storage. Yet this bag doesn't seem any bigger than the leather bag; it's storage areas are just designed better.

Summary: Must have item for the 995/990 Coolpix cameras
Review: Case is very well made of rugged Codura, with soft lining inside to protect the LCD screen, and fits the camera nicely. The shape of the camera doesn't lend itself well to generic camera cases, usually being too big or too small for a good fit; that's not the case with this one (pun). The unique rubberized texture makes it easy to pick it out by feel, from inside a backpack or such. As has been mentioned, it would be nice to have provisions for a shoulder strap instead of only a belt loop, but you can simply put your finger through the belt loop on the back of the case to hold it while using the camera, using it as a hand strap, (with the bag at the back of your hand). Not much of a problem.
If you do decide to use the belt loop, the case works fine as a quick draw holster; it's very easy to unclip the latch and grab the camera by the grip. The camera's shoulder strap can be used when just carrying the camera around.
There is a small strap clip intended to secure the case to the camera's shoulder strap when the camera's in use, but it's not very useful because it generally gets in the way when dangling from the strap, and it just takes too long to work with. The quick release clip works very well, both more silent and more secure than Velcro flaps, and the flap opens much wider than most zippered flaps, making it simple to take the camera out and put it back in.
The external pouch fits an EN-EL1 spare perfectly, as well as backup CF cards.
If you have a 995, this very sharp looking case is really essential for keeping the camera in good shape, both for transport and daily use. It looks much nicer than the pictures convey-

Summary: Perfect fit - but not a great seal
Review: I may be in the minority here, but I like to take this camera everywhere - including places where it might just rain. I was expecting this case to be a bit more well-sealed to keep out any moisture or dust. The camera fits perfectly inside, but the seal is pretty loose. The top flap (as shown in the picture) just pulls over and clicks closed with the single buckle. So far, this has been the best one, but I am still looking for the perfect case for what is now firmly the perfect camera!

Summary: Great size, but no strap
Review: I previously used a case logic digital camera bag for my Coolpix 950. It was pretty nice, but it was a tight fit to get the camera in. Alhtough the Nikon case seems smaller, the camera fits much better. I also have room for an extra set of batteries, my PCMCIA flash card adaptor, and a video cable. However, the one thing I miss is that there's no shouldar strap. Just a belt buckle, and a little loop.

Summary: Nice, but it's missing a shoulder strap!
Review: I'd say this camera bag lives up to the hype. Great "rubberized" construction on the exterior, and the interior has a fare amount of padding. I especially like the pockets within the front pocket for storing flash cards, and an extra set of batteries. BUT, I was disappointed to discover that it had no shoulder strap! With a quick trip to the local dry cleaning/alteration shop, I'm sure I can remedy this problem by having a shoulder strap sewn on, but I would have paid an extra $10.00 if Nikon would have saved me the trouble. Coordinating colors, and Nikon name on exterior really adds to the "show-off" value.

Summary: Easy to use, good protection.
Review: My 990 fits perfectly inside the main compartment of this case, while I keep extra compact flash cards, and a set of NiMh batteries in the front zippered pocket. For me it is an ideal case that has just the right amount of space for the items I carry.
