Eynpire Camera Leather Case For Canon Powershot G12 G11

At first I was skeptical reading the description of this item. But after receiving the the case I could smell the leather after opening the box. It does indeed fit like a glove, smells like leather, excellent quality, and looks fantastic. The case that was shipped to me had no visible marks or defects and had the "canon" logo stamped on the front.I wanted this case to protect my G12 camera because I have a bad habit of throwing stuff in the back seat of my truck and then they get jostled around. This case will take care of that. As far as the canon logo is concerned I wish it didn't have it and I would have preferred if it was more rustic looking. I like the old "retro" beat up look. Anything to divert attention to the fact this is an expensive camera.I've enjoyed doing business with Amazon for many years and have always had a positive buying experience. I'm a prime member and will continue to be unless service degrades which I don't see in the future. Their shipping is on time and never have to leave my apartment. What more could I ask for.

This leather case fits snugly on the G12 and it looks great! Mine came with the Canon imprinted on the front so it was a pleasant surprise as some reviewers indicated the case didn't have it. It has a sturdy bottom that screws into the body. It might even take a little shifting around to accurately screw it in, just be more careful as you don't want to scratch the surface. The only thing I'm not sure of is what to do with the flap when I want to take photos since I would like to keep it partially attached - I've been leaving the bottom button on and removing the two side ones (you have to) and with that I'm less likely to lose it but it gets in the way at times. All in all, love this case and would buy it again!

Retro looking case fits perfect with my G12. Construction seems sturdy and definitely better looking that any regular case. Only thing I am not too happy with is the strap, it looks a bit cheap compared to the rest of the case.The Canon logo you see on the picture IS NOT engraved in the case which if it is a selling point for you then don't get this case. On the other hand if you will use this case for waling around with your camera is a plus as you are not advertising what brand of camera you have. The case is well padded for protection on the front. To change battery or memory card you have to take the camera of the case. To shoot you can completely remove the back of the case or just leave it hanging. Overall very pleased with the case.

It arrived quite carefully packed.It seems well-made, fits my G12 right. The stitching of the leather is uniform, straight.But as I saw in another review, the back lower lip interferes just a bit with closing the display. Just a little pressure at that point and it closes just fine.It has a soft lining, but overall seems to have good stiffness of the leather material when closed around the camera.The bottom knob screws into the tripod mount just fine.The bottom cover needs to be removed to get to the battery/card door, and the connection ports on the side.Another review worried about having somewhere to put the top half while using the camera.But I might try just unfastening the bottom snap, leaving the two side snaps on, and swing the top part backward over the camera and letting it hang. Those who have owned this cover, please chime in on your experience with this method.Overall, I'm pleased. I'll see how things go as I start using it real-world.

if this were strictly a beauty contest, then i would be awarding the case four to five stars as it is exactly what i thought it would be. However, i still would like to put my G11 inside of it and also comfortably take pictures. First problem-my camera doesn't fit properly on the screw-on base. I have tried now four times to gently force the male part of the case fully into the female part on the base of the camera and it simply doesnt go all the way down, leaving about a 1/4 inch space between the base of the camera and the floor of the case. also, while the camera sits clumsily on the screw, it also rests at an angle. 2nd problem, the camera is difficult to use when it lives inside this case. True you can use the swivel screen, but the leather flesh hanging from the camera (if you unsnap all buttons but the bottom one) is a bit annoying and gets in the way if you choose to leave it on for more than a couple shots. Also, in order to access the battery and memory cards i would have to dislodge my camera from the screw prong at the base of the case and then skewer it once again when i was ready to snap shots. I fear that through use the female receiver part on the base of my G11 will be worn down or at least gently misshapen so that it will no longer easily accept tripods on its own. This is a big disappointment as i was really looking forward to using this case and, for the most part, saw overly positive reviews. Please consider this review when considering purchasing this case. I will continue to use the black square-style Canon case that the G11 came with while hoping to return this brown retro-case.

First the good points: the case is very nice looking and the leather appears to be decent quality and smells like a new leather case should. The snaps and knob are chrome instead of the brass shown in the picture but that is very minor.The Negatives: I thought the case was designed so that the top part stayed attached to the camera and swung down when you opened it. Unfortunately it swings down and blocks the lens, keeping it from extending. This means that in order to take pictures you have to completely remove the top part of the case and carry it separately.Also, the snaps a very loose and frequently come unsnapped. I have returned it and will look for something else.In Summary: Beautiful looking case that will protect your camera but get in the way when taking pictures.
