I picked up this camera case at CompUSA when they had their one cent shipping sale. It fits my Canon A70 very snugly and is perfect, IMO, for carrying the camera around with just a spare compactflash card and a spare set of batteries. For $4.49 I think it's a steal (especially when shipping was only a penney). If you got the Circuit City case for $9.99, you can put your A70 in the CompUSA case, put THAT CASE in the Circuit City case along with all the accessories (for when you travel), and then use the small case by itself when you are out taking pictures.

Thanks for the heads up. It looks pretty nice and compact from the COMPUSA.com picture. It's a shame that shipping costs just as much as the actual case. For someone who shops at COMPUSA.com more than me, do you have any idea as to how often they run that "penny shipping" promotion? I may go to my local compusa to look for the case, as I want to see the interior of the case. Since the A70 body is half steel and half plastic, both can scratch easily; not to mention the non-protected lcd which i have a palm screen protector on. Also, it may be snug, but how padded is it?
My friend has a Case Logic that looks different than this one for his S400. It's the same as the one that I bought for my Sony P72, but smaller. It's a nice little case just about the size of the S400. I didn't see it online when I looked, but I did see it in the store at CompUSA. My case was about $7 and his was about $4.

To answer some of these questions, the 1 cent shipping seems to come every couple of months and last about a week or so. So, it will probably be a while before we will see it again. The case is nicely padded, to my way of thinking. I think I could drop the case with the camera in it from a few feet and the camera probably would be okay (not that I'm going to try it intentionally, though). The case BARELY fits the A70, so I wouldn't think it would fit a camera that was any bigger. Also, for what it's worth, I think the case is decent looking. If you have a local CompUSA, I'd say it's worth the trip. Also very worthwhile for 1 cent shipping. If they charge you $5 or so for shipping now, I would look around as you have a pretty big selection of cases in the $10 range. I would probably buy it for $10 as well, since the fit is so good, but I would look around some first.
According to the linked page, this is not available in stores. Anyone successful finding one there? Would save me a trip, though I may be in the area later anyhow.
Thanks.
Thanks.
BUMP!!! There is a code out to get 1 cent shipping on the CompUSA site. Makes this a great deal IMO. Can't post codes here. Just look in one of those places that tells you how to get technical stuff at bargains prices in the .com world.
Ordering right now. Was just checking the Sunday ad for any FAR items, but no little section like that this week. :-(
Thanks for the heads-up on the shipping!

go to the store and get a lowepro case- the smallest one they make fits the S200-S400 line perfectly and its under 8 bucks i think-
okay, now that it's sold out, posting that od b&m has a variety of cam bags on clr, from $12 to $1
good luck
