Case is the best part
(5 out of 5) by J. Paulsonn on Jan 16, 2007 (Ohio)I normally carry small digital cameras in my pants pockets, but they can get scratched by keys and coins. I put this case on my belt and my SD camera fits like a glove, is instantly available, and never gets scratched. It looks rather like a cell phone on your belt, so doesn't attract a lot of attention.
Some reviewers complain about having to thread the handstrap through the little hole in the case flap. Why? Don't bother...just let the strap protrude from under the flap. This is truly a non-issue.
Battery--I'm glad to have a spare battery, but to be honest, no matter how much I use my SD800, I've never run out of battery power, so I'm not sure a second battery is a must, the way it is with some other cameras.
Given this, you might want to buy just the case instead of this kit.

Great Accessories, Great Price
(4 out of 5) by Wendy M. Graves on Aug 22, 2006 (Berkeley, CA)You can't beat the price on the kit vs. purchasing separately - and if you purchased the camera with it's small size as an important factor you'll want a small, sleek case. It would be nice if it included a tiny pocket for extra battery, hence my four star rating. The case is great quality leather, very soft. Battery life is really good with this camera anyway, but a second battery is key when traveling. Neck strap is unique - may or may not use personally, but is a clever idea.

Below average
(2 out of 5) by Ivan W. Ong on Jul 6, 2007 (Charlotte, North Carolina United States)Case: made in China case has stiff leather and mine had a strong chemical smell (aniline or a phenol derivative, neither are "nice chemicals").
Neck Strap: downright silly, unless you are into wearing flashy metal chains. The serrations will dig into neck on warm days after a period of use. Not comfy.
Battery: Only thing useful. I should have gotten a spare battery and ordered a nice case somewhere else. There are lots of after market choices.

poor case design mars the kit
(4 out of 5) by W. Y. Lin on Jan 28, 2007 (torrance, ca United States)the kit is a good value but the case u need to be careful of it can scratch the lcd if u pull the camera out quickly because it is made of hard leather that barely flexes and has a steel button that will mar the lcd. Besides that its a great bargain for the careful camera user.

GREAT price for your new camera accessories!
(5 out of 5) by SCRAPPYHAPPY on Jun 13, 2006I just bought the Canon SD700 and wanted a new battery and a new case for it. WOW, this is a great price for a perfect case and a genuine Canon battery too. All of these items are genuine canon products, not an offmarket item. And, with Amazon's free shiping, it is a great deal too! The neck strap is something I didn't think I would like, but LOVE IT! The case is a perfect fit and I love everything about this package....I don't use the wrist strap though, strictly the neck...it's great!
