This case was received within 2 days of ordering. It is a clam type case with two elasticated struts inside, these stop it flying open too much as you undo the zip, which is a nice touch and should help prevent any accidentally falling out of the camera, especially if wearing the case on a belt using the attached belt loop.
The case appears to be well made for the price, with double stitching used to attach the belt loop to the case. The Canon SX210 fits in very snugly, with just enough room for the camera with the attached wrist strap, which is exactly what I wanted. The camera should be inserted into the case with the lens towards the top of the case for the best fit. When wearing it on the belt it feels very comfortabe, and the hard case is ideal to protect the camera from occasional knocks when walking about. There is no room for additional batteries, or SD cards, but these are so small that spares can easily be carried in a pocket.
The compact size of the case means it is discrete and unobtrusive, this also means that you are more likely to carry the camera with you most of the time, so you should never miss a shooting opportunity if it occurs.
