Sony LCMWA Semi Soft Carrying Case for DSCW1 Digital Camera

Rating:
Summary: Nice case has brought peace of mind - 4.5 stars
Review: I bought this case for my Cybershot DSC-W1. The camera fits beautifully into the case. I especially like that the shoulder / neck strap is detachable.

One thing that is indistinguishable in the photo: There are two zippers that run up on each side of the case. They are connected to a smaller strap (seen in the photo - much like a wrist strap) that you can pull to zip or unzip both sides at once. The side zippers do not run along the top or bottom of the case, so there is less danger of your camera accidently falling out when you are removing the case.

The color of the case is less of a blue-siver, as shown in the pic. It is more of a taupe-silver, but it looks quite fly with a brushed metal plate on the front.

Please note that the mini-pouch does not fit INSIDE the camera case. However, it has a velco flap which allows it to attach securely to the shoulder / neck strap. I have attached mine to the smaller wrist strap, but will probably end up storing it in my purse. I can easilly fit a pair of replacement batteries in their plastic case, and two memory cards into the mini-pouch.

I would have given five stars if the mini-pouch had fit inside the camera case - thus my 4.5 star rating.

Summary: solid case, but odd closure
Review: The case is solid and looks good w/o being one of those big, leather affairs from the 80s.

The closure is odd, dual zippers that don't meet, a rubber "seal" at the top. Why did Sony do this?
