(5 out of 5)Good quality. Fits S400, a little tight in the beginning
This camera case is constructed with good quality. The belt clip is quite handy. The small size gives you the option to slip the whole thing into the pocket. A reviewer suggested that the soft leather may not provide enough protection, but I think this camera case is a good compromise between size and protection. Really on a daily basis, the most fragile part of the camera is the LCD screen. This camera case would be sufficient to prevent scratches. There isn't a whole lot of reason to get a bulkier case and sacrifice the option to slip it into the pocket.
The fit for my S400 camera was too tight in the beginning, and it took some effort to get the camera out of the case. However, the leather stretched to fit the camera after a week or so. Now the fit is perfect.
What I don't particularly care for is the large, gold logo "Canon Elph" which I'm afraid invites undesirable attention.
If you have a Canon Digital Elph you need to get this case.
(5 out of 5)Terrific case
I was looking for -as compact as it gets- bag for my Canon S400. I didn't care about the spare compartemts or battery pockets, but I needed my small camera to remain small. Ordered this one from Amazon and received it three days later. It is high quality leather case with a nice belt attachement on the reverse side. The case is so small, camera hardy becomes larger when placed inside! Look elswhere if you want a backpack full of pockets for you camera... This is the elegance, not a backpack.
(5 out of 5)Nice compact case for your small camera
I use to have another case from Canon that had an extra pouch for extra CF memory cards, but this leather case just gets to the point. Leather case for the small camera and the camera only so no extra space. Hope that made sense, but yes, I recommend this case.
(1 out of 5)This will cover, but not PROTECT, your camera!
This case is effectively just a soft leather sheath. It has no strap or clip--just a belt loop--nor does it have storage for extra batteries or memory cards.
OK, so it's a classy little case, the price is right, and it fits the camera perfectly, but it fails at its basic purpose, which is to protect the camera. There is absolutely no padding or rigidity whatsoever, so when you put this compact little bundle into your purse or pocket, that vulnerable LCD screen remains just as vulnerable.
When (not if) you bonk something against that ill-protected screen, it will crack, and the $100+ repair will not be covered by your Canon warranty.
Ask me how I know this? My daughter, who purchased her Elph with Christmas money and a year's babysitting savings, has had hers for all of two weeks, and it's already on its way to the shop. I might add that this is NOT an irresponsible child, just one who carries pens and a calculator in her purse with the camera.
Avoid a similar scenario and spend a few bucks on a REAL case, please. Canon should be able to do better.

..............it can be easily and safely removed using a cloth dampened with either carbon tetrachloride or benzene. Rub it gently and it comes right off leaving the leather unmarked and undamaged. This is the perfect case for the ELPH series of Canon digicams from the S100 right up through the S400. I have had one for about 3 years now and they are hard to get! They were originally made for the Canon ELPH Jr. APS camera but stretch out just enough for the ELPH Sdigitals. If anyone knows where they are available (currently unavailable here on amazon.com) please let me know at prudhocjATolypenDAWTcom! I would like another one.
