As with other reviewers, I took the plunge, paid up and am completely satisfied with the product. The case (plus lens protective filters and screen protector) allows me to sling this fantastic camera over my shoulder somewhat retro style and go out and about taking pictures without worrying about accidental knocks and scratches. The shoulder strap that came with the camera is a bit minimalist - but I think complements the case. I bought the larger size, so it can also be used for the pancake lens. The larger standard lens kit fits very snugly (just) with reversed hood and protective filter attached.
