Summary: Nice but not perfect
Review: I just bought the red case for my SD300. It's a very nice, solid case, but it's pretty thick and does make your camera a lot bulkier (although it fits inside perfectly). The top flap has a magnetic button closure, but the whole flap is very, very stiff. It doesn't easily open all the way, so I have to be careful not to let the snap on the underside of the flap scratch my camera as I take it in and out. And the red strap that the case comes with is too cumbersome if you actually use it on the camera. The strap gets stuck in the hole in the flap when you try to take it out. The regular strap that the camera comes with works much better with this case, as it will slide in and out of the hole pretty smoothly.

Summary: Perfect fit for the S500. Wait, did you buy an SD300?
Review: I ordered the PSC-90 because I wanted the best fit for the SD300 which I bought to have a slim camera that felt comfortable in my pocket. The case I received is almost 50% larger than it should be to fit the SD300.

Dimensions:

SD300 camera
Exterior: 86 x 56 x 20.7 mm

PSC-90 case
Interior: 87 x 58 x 28 mm
Exterior: 93.5 x 64 x 38mm


The height and width are near perfect, but the inside dimension is nearly 50% thicker then the camera. Thus the case takes up nearly 50% more space in your pocket then it should. It looks like this case might be a great fit for the S500 camera or one of similar size.

S500
Exterior: 87 x 57 x 28 mm

I'm not sure whether it will snap shut or not with the S500 in it, but it would come really close. If it does, it would be a perfect slim fit for canon's larger cameras. As for the SD200-300, I hope I can find a better case soon.


P.S. I contacted Canon to check if this was normal or if I should attempt to order a replacement. They claimed that although they couldn't provide dimensions for the case, it should fit snuggly and I should return my case to the retailer for an exchange. I'm not sure I want to pay shipping on another and wind up in the same situation.

Summary: This is NOT a form fitting case
Review: I purchased a black PSC-90 case and my experience was EXACTLY the same as Gabriel's. Just so it does not get disconnected, here is gabriel's review below the **************** line.

I heard (and yes, this is heresay), that Canon licenses their brand to different manufacturers. It is possible that the manufacturer making the black case got the wrong specs than the people who make the Red case. I don't think the fact that Gabriel and I getting cases withthe same dimensions is a one-off.

I have returned my case and am looking for a more form fitting case since this one IS NOT form fitting. The outside dimensions of the case is almost 1.5" thick!!! Like Gabriel said, that's almost twice the thickness of the camera. BTW - If that doesn't matter to you, the rest of the case is very nice.

Summary: It Fits Like a Glove ! Almost Perfect...
Review: No Personal Attack is Intended BUT as someone who owns a Red PSC-90 case, I have to point out that Gabriel's review is TOTALLY WRONG !!!! I had actually placed my order with Amazon before reading his review. His review made me worry needlessly. My previous camera was a Canon S410 and now I own a Canon SD200 so I am well aware of their differences in size. All I can say is that his must have been mislabeled or he ordered the wrong bag. It's A CUSTOM FIT - TRUST ME. The case is at least an inch shorter than the one for the Canon "S" series (I had the black leather one). Come on people- this is Canon we're talking about. They're not going to sell you a bag that's not intended for the specific camera(s). Even the silver Canon label is half the size as the ones intended for the Canon S500.
Finally, it is made from very high quality grade leather and I wasn't sure about the red (in the picture) but in person, it's very striking. The strap is made from the same grade leather. I like the look of the strap but it's unfortunately a bit too stiff. I have reverted back to the original strap but that's my only minor complaint. Granted, I think more women than men will like the RED but I'm so happy not to have another "boring, black leather camera bag". As far as dimensions, I don't need to measure them - all I know is that it fits perfectly without any wiggle room ANYWHERE. The leather is also nice and rigid and will last for many years to come. If you have the Canon Sd200/300, get this case WITHOUT A MOMENT'S HESITATION (unless you want a bag to carry your extra accessories as well)! And yes, the other reviewer is correct - there's no room for a card (or anything else that matter) but that's exactly what I was looking for. An ultra-compact bag for my ultra-compact camera!

Summary: Great fit, but not perfect.
Review: This case fits the SD200 very well. When the sd200 is in the case, it becomes as thick as an s410 camera (by itself, without a case on). It is pretty stiff so it should protect it from scratches and even mild pressure applied to it. It has a magnetic buckle that snaps into place and snaps off easily. The material feels very good in the hand, and looks very classy. The top flap has a small hole where the wrist strap prong slips through.

The back features a belt loop (not a clasp) for you to slide a belt through, or feed it through a strap (ie a messenger bag) although the latter would be a bad idea as the magnetic clasp on the flap isnt very strong, it could unbuckle pretty easily (as it is meant to do).

the front of the camera is meant to face the front of the case (and the back faces the belt loop). that gives the lcd screen extra protection. it is the only way the sd200 fits in this case (as the strap pront faces the front).

Along the sides, there seems to be a semi rigid insert .. top and bottom. probly plastic or cardboard, under the leather material. this helps prevent the buttons from being depressed, accidentally turning the camera on while in the case.

Fantastic case, looks great, feels great, small.

Downside ... no pocket for a spare battery. There is a tiny slit of a pocket in the case .. but it seems to be made for a sd case.
