Okay but not great

by D. Truong 2007-10-10, 125 people found this review helpful
First off, I'd like to point out that Amazon's description of this product is totally incorrect. This case only holds the camera and does not hold any accessories. For example, I don't see why it says that it holds a compact flash card when the Canon SD1000 uses SD cards. Well, the truth is that the case holds neither. Having said that, this is actually a pretty decent leather case for this particular camera. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:

-Fits nice and snug... since it was designed specifically for SD1000.

-Leather is of high quality with 2 colors to choose from. Black and Burgundy.

-Magnetic closure and canon emblem is nice and practical.

-Semi-hard front and back that provides protection for camera.


Cons:
-Case does make camera significantly thicker and less pocket-able

-Slit for wrist strap is too small.

-The Burgundy one looks more 'Red' than the photos of it illustrate.

-relatively expensive for few features.

Conclusion: Even though there is room for some improvements in design, this case is of a high quality and should provide good protection for your camera if you just need a nice, simple case. However because of it's simplicity and price, I think that Canon should have just included along with the camera instead of selling it separately.

Definitely Not for SD1100 IS

by CJ Kirby 2008-03-19, 75 people found this review helpful
I have never responded to a product review before but I was so disappointed with this product, I felt compelled to share. I'm a pure Canon fan and always buy Canon accessories to compliment my choices. However, I don't know what Canon was thinking with this case. It in no way fits the new SD1100 IS. Not only do you have to stuff the camera in the case, you can hardly get it back out if you are lucky enough to force it in. On top of that, there's no way the magnetic latch even gets close to securing itself if the camera is in the case. And forget about the slot for the wrist strap. Yes, you can manage the strap thru the slot OK, but no way convenient to remove the camera from the case once the strap is thru the slot. This case just does not work and I'm extremely disappointed. I have not even touched on the quality. Pure chintz.

I also own an old ELPH APS from days gone by. I stuffed that in the case to help stretch it. It seems to have helped and I can now at least get the SD1100 in the case but of course, I still can't close the flap. What I ultimately ended up doing was resurrecting my old quality soft leather velcro closure original ELPH APS case and will use that to protect my new SD1100 IS. Sorry Canon, but you really missed the boat on this one.

Storage?

by J. Ratliff 2007-05-21, 96 people found this review helpful
The product description states "This case carries the camera, battery pack, Compact Flash card and wireless controller." yet there is only space for the camera in the case. I suppose since there is a battery pack inside the camera along with a memory card it carries them too, but don't expect to fit anything else inside this case - only the camera.

Not Made for Canon SD1100 IS

by AZ Desert Rat 2008-03-14, 28 people found this review helpful
When I received this case the package stated that it was compatible with the SD1100 IS. However, it is a very tight fit, and then the magnetic clasp would not hold. Plus the case will definitely not close with the wrist strap attached to the camera. This renders it useless. I returned the item.

Good and Bad

by family cook 2007-05-26, 36 people found this review helpful
This case fits like a glove on the Canon SD1000, the back of the case is nicely padded to protect the camera screen. Disappointed that the hole on the top of the case is too narrow to thread the camera wrist strap through. You will have to cut the hole to make it larger or have the strap come out of the case on the side.

Modifiying the PSC-1000 plus a comparison to the PSC-55 case

by Brad Willis 2008-02-02, 20 people found this review helpful
I own a Canon SD1000 camera, a SD300 camera, a PSC-1000 case and a PSC-55 case. Let me tell you the differences between the two cases so that you can hopefully make a good decision as to which to buy. If you do purchase or own the PSC-1000 case, I'll tell you how to enlarge the strap hole in professional-looking way.

The SD1000 camera fits well in either case. The SD300 camera fits well in the PSC-55 case and while the PSC-1000 case could work, the fit seems a bit too snug. The PSC-55 case seems to have a much stronger magnet that will keep the flap shut. Conversely, the PSC-1000's magnet is weak and it has difficulty holding the flap closed. Once the case breaks in a bit, perhaps the magnet will be just fine in the PSC-1000 case, but it's clear that the PSC-55's magnet is stronger.

As previously mentioned, for some strange reason, the slot where you thread the strap through the top of the PSC-1000 case is really small, as of this writing. Unless Canon modifies the design, which they definitely should, then you're going to need to modify it yourself. Practically speaking, it is not really usable as presented unless you want to monkey with threading the strap through a tiny opening each time that you use the camera or put it away.

Obviously, there are many times where you'll want to get the camera out quickly to grab a shot and you can't do that without modifying the opening. Imagine the horror when the UFO lands in front of you, you have your trusty Canon camera, but you can't get the photo because the camera is stuck in the case!

If you have a Dremel tool, or know someone who does, you can do a 2 minute fix that looks professional. I used the small, cone-shaped, stone-like grinding attachment and I was able to widen the opening quite a bit but you wouldn't know it hadn't come that way from the factory. You could also cut the hole to make it look larger, but that's going to make things look sloppy. Conversely, the PSC-55's hole is plenty wide and no modification is necessary.

The bottom line is that this case is decent, but I'd recommend the PSC-55 for just about any camera that will fit it, including the SD1000.

Nice pouch

by Andrea Taylor-miner 2007-06-11, 13 people found this review helpful
This is perfect for the Canon SD1000. It's got quite a magnet to hold it shut and we found that the "belt loop" is a good place to store the extra battery if you don't wear a belt and just put this in your pocket.

Garbage

by Chris Hann 2008-02-25, 14 people found this review helpful
This case failed in under four months of daily use. It turns out the case is the thinnest, crappiest, veneer of leather over cardboard. The belt loop ripped out of the back, ripping the cardboard. Nasty crummy construction and I can't even find the made in China tag.

Very poor for a Canon accessory.

Previously I have used the real leather Canon cases and they have lasted years of being on my belt every day.

Some people complain about storage. What storage? What do you think you are going to need? I charged the battery and used the camera for weeks before the low battery warning, I took hundreds of shots. With a 4Gb card you can take pictures all day, even videos, and not run out of memory. You don't need to take anything with you so long as the battery is charged and you paid the few extra bucks for a decent sized memory card.

High quality case. Perfect fit for the Canon SD 1000

by D. Foster 2007-05-29, 9 people found this review helpful
I found this case to be perfect. It has a very solid, high quality feel to it. It is made to fit the tiny Canon SD 1000 and it does this very well. No, it doesn't allow for additional storage of a extra battery but that's part of the attractiveness of this slim case. I use to have a case that enabled me to carry an extra battery but it was so big that it felt like I was carrying a duffle bag around my waste. I'm very pleased with this product.

Be sure you know what you want and what this delivers

Prior reviewers have commented on lack of room for spare battery or memory card, strong magnetic closure, and incompatibility with camera's wrist strap.

What I needed in a case was mechanical protection -- the camera is small and, I suspect, somewhat fragile, so I wanted to give it some cushioning for when the camera was not going to live in a shirt pocket. This is does well. Having the belt loop is useful for when my shirt pocket has too much else in it already. If you want a single place to put extra batteries, memory cards, etc., you should take your camera and extra stuff to a camera store and buy a generic case that is large enough for your needs.

Don't buy this for anything other than a Canon SD 1000 unless your camera is EXACTLY the same size. The case is made to fit very snugly.

I didn't find the magnet all that strong, but seems strong enough to keep the cover from flapping when it's on my belt. No danger of camera falling out of the case in any event because of the snugness.

The interaction between case and camera's wrist strap is indeed bizarre. The case doesn't close firmly with the strap attached to the camera unless the strap is first threaded through the hole in the top of the case, in which case, it is cumbersome both to insert and extract the camera. Clearly designed by somebody who wasn't going to use it. And I find the strap indispensable because of the small size of the camera -- just too easy to drop otherwise.

Four stars instead of five because of the last glitch. Even though it meets my primary objective, the strap business gets in the way. (If the thin cord that attaches the strap to the camera were about an inch longer, at least the cover would close, even though the strap hangs out.)
