Canon Digital Elph Accessory Kit for Canon SD880IS, SD990IS, SD890IS, SD950IS, SD900, SD870IS & SD850IS Digital Cameras

I'm not entirely sure why there are so many conflicting reviews of a camera case, but I'll try my hand at describing what I've received.

First, it should be noted that I have the SD990 IS. The case is a bit snug on this camera. I have to feed the camera's leash through the hole in the top of the case in order to have a chance at connecting the magnetic button closure. Even after feeding the leash through the top of the case, I have to press down a bit on the top of the case in order to have enough slack to button the flap. However, the camera is easy enough to get in and out of the case, and I do not feel like the camera is in danger of being damaged or scratched.

The case I received DOES NOT have a strong chemical smell. In fact, it smells like leather. The leather is relatively soft, but the case itself is rigid, which I think will only help to improve the protection of the camera, especially when packed in a backpack or bag.

The inside of the case is lined with a black felt-like material that is a little bit rough, but, once again, not something that will cause damage to the camera body or LCD screen. The bottom of the case on the inside is nicely cushioned, though I wish more of this cushioning had been used throughout the inside of the case.

If you're looking for a case that isn't bulky (can still fit in your pants pocket) that provides good protection for you Elph, then this is your best bet. However, I do agree with other reviewers regarding the odd metal strap, as well as the pointless leather strap that came with this kit. I would recommend either using the wrist strap that came with the Elph, or buying a longer, more comfortable strap to go around your neck.

I have yet to use my backup battery, but I assume it has good/great battery life just like the one that came with the camera.

Ditto Jie and others: the camera case is too small for the new 990 model.

When I place my order, the description for this item is "Cannon Digital Elph Accessory Kit for Cannon SD880IS, SD990IS, SD890IS, SD950IS, SD900, SD870IS & SD850IS Digital Cameras"

I bought this accessory kit for my Cannon SD990IS, and found that the case does not fit the camera at all.

I'm glad I bought this, especially the case, which has a belt loop so the camera is protected while giving me easy access to it.

I bought it for the extra battery but the case is nice, although it ONLY holds the camera...no extra pockets for SD cards or the spare battery. The extra long lanyard is nice but I don't think I'll ever use it.
