| I bought it for the extra battery but the case is nice, although it ONLY holds the camera...no extra pockets for SD cards or the spare battery. The extra long lanyard is nice but I don't think I'll ever use it. |

| Nice, but...: Rating: 3/5 |
This is my second SD850IS camera (lost the first one on an airplane trip) and I vowed to NOT just shove it in a pocket as before. The "metal" case of the camera is mostly plastic and in less than 6 months, much of it had worn off, scuffed by my pocket contents. I bought the Canon-made holster, thinking it would be PERFECT. It's not. I'm not a "tool belt" kind of guy, but I have taken to looping the case through my belt when on a photo-centric activity. It works great for that. I don't bother threading the wrist strap into the hole in the top. Just dangle it over the side and slip my hand through it before pulling the camera out. ALWAYS use the strap. Small cameras are notorious for slipping out of your hands. The provided wrist strap/neck strap is too heavy for my taste. I'm using the stock strap.
My main complaint is the lack of storage space for the battery. This case is EXACTLY just large enough to hold the camera with no pouch to slide in the spare battery. The whole point of the spare battery is to keep it charged, have it with you to swap out at any time. Now I have to slide it in a pocket or something. Poor planning. I would prefer a case with this one spot for the battery (or extra memory card) and with rounded corners, making it more likely to fit comfortably in a pants pocket. For now, it fits in a jacket pocket. Maybe a neoprene case is out there. But I went with Canon, thinking they knew best. |

| Great combination purchase.: Rating: 5/5 |
| The camera case is very sturdy. The combination of case and extra battery is want I was looking for. |

| Perfect buy: Rating: 5/5 |
| Incredible price for what you get. Only the battery costs more than the whole kit at a regular store. Leather case is very solid and fits my SD870 perfectly, it has a belt strap on the back, plus you get a leather wrist strap that matches it (besides the kit's neck strap). Very stylish. |
