"Fits My SD850 IS Perfectly"
The Canon PSC-55 leather case is a must have accessory for most models of Canon Elph cameras.

Let face it these cameras are an investment. Most Canon Elphs are high quality delicate electronics, and this nicely constructed case is a perfect fit. The leather on the outside is of high quality and feels very robust, while the interior is lined with a fuzzy material to keep everything scratch free. It also has the benefit of removing fingerprints that you may have gotten on the screen. There is a hole at the top to push the wrist strap through, and a belt loop at the back. A magnetic latch on the front closes it. Some may not prefer the latch since if you don't pull it back and out of the way it could hit the camera, however, for me, this set-up is better than velcro because it does not loose its hold over time.

Once I dropped my SD850 IS while it was in this case about 3 feet onto concrete and the camera and case survived perfectly.

All in all... If you have an Elph and don't need a bunch of pockets and pouches on your case, this is perfect.

"Hope you don't need a spare battery"
O.k. let's put this to rest 1st.
The PSC-55 DOES fit the Canon SD870. I just took my SD870 to a store and put it in the case and shut it. A little tight but the leather will eventually loosen up and stretch a little. Not a big deal.

The big deal is that there is no storage compartment for a spare battery in the case. I previously owned the SD600 and had the canon leather case which had the compartment, guess where I kept the spare battery?

Over the past 4-5 vacations I've been on, I can recall several times DURING EACH VACATION WHERE MY BATTERY DIED! I need a spare battery with the camera! What if the spare's in my wife's purse and we split up for a couple hours? What if I have it in my pocket but my wife took the camera. Life's too short to be worried about where your spare battery is. Where's the spare battery? Well I think I put it...no, wait...what a shock, IT"S IN THE CAMERA CASE!

Jeez Canon, step it up a little here.

The only other leather case with an inner storage compartment that the SD870 fit was the Napoli 10 by lowepro, I see there's a slightly larger Napoli 20, I may check that one out.

"Nice little case"
Fits my SD870IS perfectly. It is snug but not too tight. I only wish I had bought it before. We bought the camera a year ago and got some nesty scratches on the LCD in when carrying it in a bag on vacation. Now the camera stays in the case. It is still small enough to take along "just in case".

"Great Case At A Great Price"
My Canon SD850 came without a case. I brought a "one size fits all" leather case online. Nice looking, but it is so snug, the clasp won't close over the camera. It looked tacky on my belt with the flap hanging open. So I decided to buy this one, not fully expecting too much because of the price. This is a great case. Especially when you consider the price.

Unlike some reviewers, I am glad the case has a metal instead of a velcro clasp. All one has to do when putting the camera away in the case is be a little careful. It looks much classier with a metal clasp than it would with velcro, which would cheapen the look. With velcro attached, it would look exactly like what one paid for it. As it is now, if you said you paid $30 for it, most would believe you. Even the detachable leather loop camera holder it comes with has a small matching metal plate with the word "Canon" on it. Sharp.

It's slightly padded for the camera's protection without looking like a bread box. I don't get the reviewers complaining that it isn't compact enough. Then you'd complain about there being no protection. I could also tell by looking at the picture of it online that there's no room for accessories. So what are some of you complaining about that for? What do you want for $16.48? Get real guys.

"compact and functional"
As cameras get smaller, a case to match becomes all the more important. This is a great case that does exactly that. It's functional and minimally bulky. Camera is held firmly enough but will slide out without too much effort. The slot for the strap is optional, and we almost never use it. We bought the case to hold a SD870IS, and liked so much that i bought another one so that we have one of our daughter to carry on her backpack waist belt for quick handoff when sharing the camera.
