Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony LCS-CST General Purpose Soft Carrying Case for Slim Cybershot Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Perfect for Sony DSC-W170
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a large number of customer evaluations before buying this for my Sony Cybershot DSC-W170 digital camera, which it fits perfectly. Regarding the little zipper pocket in front, it can hold either a spare memory chip or a spare Sony NP-BG1 battery (which fits that camera) but not both. The case is very trim and well-made, a bargain for the $7.50 I paid for it. The only gripe I have is that the attachment strap on the back of the case should be wider. The attachment strap has an interesting design however, which allows you of the choice of snapping it over your belt (with a substantial snap) or threading your belt through it, which would definitely be better for risky travel situations where somebody might try to grab the camera, case and all. If you wear it at your waist in front of you, in the latter situation you can unsnap it when you sit down in a bus or restaurant and it frees the camera from your belt without actually detaching it from your belt. The camera sits on your lap on a secure nylon webbing tether about 5" long. I would consider this a very secure arrangement on vacation in a country where thieves are present, and I have not seen this particular design on any other camera case anywhere. Regarding whether the case is "too tight" for a Cybershot-size camera, I observe that this is a "soft" case which will stretch and loosen up over time, so I wouldn't want it much larger. It has a very nice, soft, velvety interior that won't scratch the camera, whether or not you put a spare battery in the front zipper compartment.Customer Review: Perfect case for '09 Sony "ultra-slim" Cyber-shot cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought the new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90, which is the same body as the DSC-T900, and has the same dimensions as the older DSC-T77 and probably most of the rest of the ultra-slims (but check the dimensions of a different camera to be sure). Another reviewer suggested that this case was a little "snug" for his Cyber-shot camera (a different model), and the pictures he posted made me unsure whether the case would be a good fit.
The fit is perfect, and the case is perfect to protect the phone. With the phone in the case, the zippered compartment at the front (under the flap) will hold a spare battery with no problem.
The case is lightweight, and should easily protect the camera from a reasonable drop. It has a D ring at the top/rear of the case which you could use to attach the case to something with a carabiner; it also has a loop that is sewn into the top/rear of the case and snaps to the bottom-rear of the case -- this loop could be used as a wrist strap, or you might use the loop to attach the case to your belt (but you would want to run your belt through the loop and not between the case and the loop because the snap could come undone without your realizing it and "goodbye camera").
I strongly believe this case is preferable to the Sony LCS-CSQ/B case for my camera.
Customer Review: Great for DSC-T9
Summary: 5 Stars
The previous two reviewers failed to see that more than one seller offered this case. I bought it after the first complaint-about-shipping-review for under $13 from antonline through amazon.
I was worried about buying it since the other reviewers failed to confirm whether or not you can fit the battery in the front pouch. I can fit a spare battery, with plastic case, inside there with a Cybershot DSC-T9 no problem (and yes, you can squeeze a memory stick duo in there, except you might want to keep the battery's plastic case off for that).
The case felt a bit large for me and I just don't like carrying things on my belt so I added a hook to the other end of the case (very easy to do) and then a strap from another camera case. This thing fits perfect with the strap around my neck and the case comfortably at the side, or however anyone wants to wear it.
I uploaded photos of the battery fitting and my added strap to amazon's customer images for those curious. If you find a seller without the $50 shipping problem (which you will on amazon) then go ahead, you can't get a better case for the DSC-T9 and maybe entire DSC-T series.
Customer Review: Great case for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this case after receiving a Sony Cyber-Shot camera as a Christmas gift. I wanted something that was small enough to fit in my purse, but sturdy enough to protect my camera (after all, we women do carry a lot of stuff in our purses!); and this case satisfies both requirements!
The case is sturdy enough to protect the camera if dropped from a short height, as I have dropped my camera once (while it was in the case), and the soft material on the inside does not scratch the camera screen. The stiff back of the case does wonders for protecting the screen (if you insert the camera with the screen facing the back of the case); and while the external zippered pocket may be good for holding an extra memory stick, I wouldn't recommend putting an extra battery in it, as there would be some difficulty in removing it.
All in all, this a great case for protecting your digital camera; without costing an arm and a leg.
Customer Review: Simple, Great Quality, & Functionality
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn't the slimmest case if you own one of the very slim Cybershot's (DSC-T10 for example), but it is absolutely perfect for mine, the DSC-W100.
Pros:
+ It fits extremely snug, yet has a very soft inner lining and hardened casing.
+ It appears to be washable (haven't needed to wash it yet), has a zippered space for an additional memory card, and has a belt-loop.
Cons:
- The only drawback I can see is if you needed extra storage for an additional battery or something, there isn't any. I don't need an extra battery, since the DSC-W100 has the longest battery life of any slim digital camera. :)
Overall, buy this product if you own a DSC-W100 and don't need an extra battery. Thanks Sony and Amazon for another great (and did I mention inexpensive?) product!
