Vidpro Semi-Hard Neoprene Case in Black, Shockproof, for Digital Cameras

I bought this case because I wanted something slim to carry my Panasonic Lumix TZ5 camera in, and that would provide some protection. The case is OK, but I’ll mention two issues I have.
First, when I read “high density foam padding” I was expecting something that would resemble “foam”, and give some protection. There is a firm shell covered by some neoprene-like material (i guess it’s high density foam), but it doesn’t feel like much more than silky cloth. I suppose it will give some protection, but I was expecting better padding.
Second, the interior dimensions (“4.9 x 2.5 x 1.6″) seem misleading. The height and width are fine, but the depth is supposed to fit 1.6 inches. My TZ5 camera is 1.44 deep and is a very tight fit because of the two pieces that hold the opposite sides of the case together. They have to fold inward when the case is zipped up, and they are pretty thick, so they take up ~0.3 inches of the available depth. I will probably be cutting them out since they aren’t strictly necessary and I don’t like how they tightly squeeze part of the body of the camera when zipped up. If my camera was a little thinner, they might actually provide some extra padding, but I don’t like it as it is.

It is small and it doesn’t make taking your camera out a nightmare. It is a hard case which is good because I just know I am going to drop it at some point. I would recommend to protect your investment. There is also enough room for extra memory cards and an exra battery. Nice!

I like this case very much, and think the inside web pocket for an extra battery and memory card, is very good. Price was fair, but it is too bad that shipping charges (ground UPS) were 60% of the cost of the case.
