Summary: Secondary Pocket
Review: A case should fit the camera. This does, and I appreciate the secondary pocket that will hold a spare battery and second memory card.

Summary: High quality, what you'd expect
Review: I agree with the previous reviewer (the first I think was referring to the soft case) but I will add a couple of things.First of all, like the camera itself this case is very high quality. There are two negitives I'll mention: 1. You cannot really use the viewfinder. 1/3 of the view is blocked by the lens housing so you'll end up using the screen and using more battery power. 2. The camera is a TINY bit loose in the case. It will shake just a little bit. It was fixed by ising a small amount of tape on the "rails" that hold the camera. Really no big deal. The strap is really nice and can be worn like a traditional SLR which is nice for boating or rugged use. Really a neat case if your camera would normally be in danger. One thing-- I had read a review elsewhere which made it seem like the display could not be turned on or off in the case. Not true, you do have access to the display botton for conserving power.

Summary: Canon AW-PS200 Waterproof Case for
Review: I have used abused this case for over a year and it hasn't failed.
After a year or so it gets scratched up and you need to polish it in order to see through the back.

Summary: The low down...
Review: This is a great case--it fits the camera nicely and it allows you to take it underwater and in the rain, snow, etc. But there are few things one should know before buying it: 1. It adds some bulk. It isn't huge, but this probably won't replace your standard carrying case. 2. Some of the functions aren't accessible while using it, such as changing the single/multi/self-timer and you can't put the camera on review mode. You can however change the flash, use the display button, zoom, use macro/infinity. 3. While you CAN use the flash with it, you'll often get some flare from the case itself. Overall this is a really cool thing to have--but only if you'll use your camera in bad environments--and for this it is perfect.

Summary: solid, but specialized
Review: This is a great piece of armor for the S100, if you're looking to take pictures fully submerged. It is overkill for casual boating use -- though it would save the camera if dropped in, the S100 shrugs off rain and spray without this protection. Solidly built, large but not too large (still a one-hand camera.) Controls are still convenient. I've mostly used it underwater in swimming pools, but I would have no problem taking it white-water rafting, it feels that sturdy and well-sealed. For casual use, the Aquapac bag-style case is more economical, but this case is a perfect fit for the camera, and if you do a lot of in-water shooting, would be a much better choice.

Long after first posting this, I took it along on a trip to Kauai, Hawaii - and successfully grabbed hundreds of pictures of tropical fish and coral in their native habitat. The camera probably spent 20 hours submerged, completely protected, as far as 2 meters below the surface (camera held out at arms length for upward and sideways shots.) It measured up.
