 The Best Leather Case for the G9 & G10 November 11, 2009

The other reviewer is correct, in that the stitching is somewhat different on the case you will receive - there are two diagonal stitches at the top front that are not shown in the amazon photo. Otherwise, I can find no difference. What is important, I think, is that this case is far nicer than the other leather canon case made for the G-series, which is clunky and ill-fitting. This one fits nicely, screwing into place with the tripod fastener. It is also much easier to use in that the top of the case is both openable and removable. I think the quality is quite good and for a genuine leather case, the price is a miracle.

I wanted to write a quick review of this item after reading some negative reviews.
I have a G10 that I take everywhere. This case is well made (yes, made in China) and looks awesome. It does exactly what it is designed to do, protects your camera in style! I only regret I didn't buy it before I went to Italy.
Why would you give this product a bad rating saying that it doesn't fit your G11?! It's for the G10! Duh!
For the price this is an absolute steal. If you own a G10, order this.. you won't regret it!

I received this last night after ordering last week. Yes the stitching's a little different then the picture and who cares. The local camera store showed me this EXACT Canon case, item number and all priced at $40. This is in a package from Canon with a Canon part numer. It is made in China and with exceptional quality. I paid $10.50 including shipping (Free Super Saver) and have never been pleased more! How can they even make this so cheap at this quality? It fits my G10 PERFECTLY as of course it was made for it. I ended up with Magic Lantern's guide, a spare battery and this bag for $7 less than the local dealers price of the case! All Amazing and only at Amazon!!!! An always satisfied customer and I am looking forward to buying all of my add on's for this camera from Amazon...
Excellent G11 Case!! Fits like a glove. December 27, 2009

I received this beautiful black leather case a week ago and I love it! It did not fit the G11 screen on the left side only. As suggested by another reviewer , I took a sharp pair of scissors and trimed a 3/8" wide strip from the left side. I transitioned nicely to the curve at the bottom. Then I burnished it with the edge of the scissor to round the leather edge. With a black sharpie I colored the edge and it fits like a glove! I don't understand why people are saying it doesn't fit? All of this took me 5 minutes total! There are cases for around $100 for the G11. I got this one deliver to my home for $9.50! It is well constructed and appears to be a original Canon product, box and all say Canon. I am delighted! Do you think the people that could fit this on the G11 are creative photographers if they can't remove a 1/4" strip of leather? Snap shooters I say!

I see a lot of G-10 cameras around the necks of tourists. For $10 they really should have this case. The material is thick, stiff leather that will take a lot of scuffing, and the inside is lined with some kind of soft material against the camera case. When I first got it, the flip-over front cover was understandably stiff (had not flexed much yet), like a new pair of shoes. Now it conforms very well to the shape of the camera.
One problem is that the front cover will get in your shot if you leave it snapped on the rest of the cover that holds the camera. Sure, it's easy to detach, and the three snaps are high quality for repeated on/off. But then you have to figure out where to keep the front cover. I suppose you could spin it around on the bottom snap so that it curves downward, not upward, but there's a chance it will snap away and fall off.
Nonetheless, the case allows for the use of the factory neck strap, and there's enough depth on the back that it helps keep things like zippers/buttons on your coat from scraping by the viewing screen. This protects the screen from scratches to some extent, compared with using the camera alone.
If you use a tripod, the bottom screw of the case that mounts into the camera's tripod mount is, itself, threaded for a tripod mount.
The leather case must be removed to get to the memory card and battery. There's no access flap on the side, and that's fine, given the goal of protecting the camera.
