Lowepro Dublin 30 Slim Profile Pouches for Cameras and Compact Video Cameras - Black/Black

Great

The Lowepro Dublin camera case comes in 3 sizes, identified as 10, 20 and 30. The Lowepro web page gives the interior dimensions of the Dublin 20 case as 3.5"W x 1.3"D x 4.7"H and recommends it for my Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V camera, which measures 2.2"W x 1.1"D x 4.0"H, which includes a fairly large hand grip. These case dimensions are a little smaller than shown on Amazon.com, but still large enough for my camera, so I ordered it. Unfortunately, the Lowepro and Amazon web pages are both wrong! The Dublin 20 case interior dimensions are actually only 2.8"W x 0.9"D x 3.9"H. And the opening at the top of the case is even more restrictive, 2.4"W x 0.7"D. The opening is elastic, so my camera did fit into the case, but the fit was snug and it took some effort to get it in and out. But the case was too short to stuff the camera's wrist strap into the top of the case above the camera and then close the flap. If I let the wrist strap dangle outside the case, it would close. But the dangling strap might get caught on something. Therefore, I returned the Dublin 20 case and ordered the similar but larger Dublin 30 case. Amazon paid the return postage because I selected "not as described" as the reason for the return.The Dublin 30 case is also smaller than its claimed dimensions. The Lowepro web page shows 3.5"W x 1.8"D x 5.1"H, but I measured only 3.5"W x 1.1"D x 4.5"H. The elastic opening at the top of the case is only 2.8"W x 0.9"D. The Dublin 30 is large enough for my Sony DSC-HX7V, but too small for larger cameras recommended on the Lowepro web page, like the Canon G11/G12.Other reviewers have reported that the Lowepro web page recommended the wrong case for their cameras, too. It's unfortunate that Lowepro doesn't know the dimensions of their own products! This detracts from the quality of their products and probably causes lost sales and unhappy customers, not to mention extra handling costs for online retailers.Setting aside the inaccurate dimensions, the Lowepro Dublin in either size is a very good camera case, so I gave it 4 stars. It's well made and sturdy, with a wide belt loop that is securely attached to the back of the case. The Velcro flap (aka "hook and loop") is convenient to open and close, but of course it provides less protection from dust and rain than a zipper closure. There is some padding inside the case, but very little, so it might not protect your camera from rough handling. There's a small pocket under the flap for a spare memory card. I haven't used this, but the pocket is snug, so I suspect it would be difficult to get the card out. The pocket is too small for spare battery.I would recommend the Lowepro Dublin case if it fits your camera and you're looking for the convenience of a Velcro flap closure.

I purchased this case for my new Olympus TG-1. I am a helicopter crewchief in the Army, and want to have my camera on me all the time, and able to get to it quickly. My requirements were a velcro closure, and a belt loop. The Dublin 30 has both. I only wish the belt loop was able to open like my previous Lowepro pouch (a snap and velcro closure on the loop), this one I have to thread my belt through. Not a big though. Pleanty of room for my camera, and very light weight.

I was looking for any easy open and remove case for my Droid X. This case works perfectly from a fit and removal standpoint. Because I use the Droid X in the car mount you cannot use most plastic covers. I tried the quick release holder from Motorola but it was a pain to get in and out -- clothing like a sport coat would get caught in it.With this simple, small, Slim case, I get good protection and the quickest draw for my Droid X.

I bought this pouch for my Nikon P7000, which dimensions are 3.125W x 1.75D x 4.5H.Since the LowePro website shows the internal dimensions as 3.5W X 1.8D X 5.1H in, I figured the camera should fit...Wrong!The pouch is too small. The actual internal dimensions are 3.25W x 1.0D x 4.5H,OK, so it's neoprene so it should stretch. But to stretch the pouch to the camera size puts a lot of stress on the camera, so much so that I worry that I might damage the camera.And it takes about 10 seconds to insert the camera from all of the stretching you have to do, not what you would want for a camera pouch.When I removed it from the pouch, it was so tight that I almost inadvertently flung it across the room trying to pull the camera out of the pouch. I am not sure if the pouch would loosen up a bit with age or not.I did contact LowePro about this, since the price I paid was not enough to cover return shipping. They gave me a prompt reply - within a few minutes, and were gracious enough to make it right. While I might have been disappointed in the product, their customer service was outstanding.So 1 star for the product and 5 stars for LowePro's customer service.

Visible ends of threads everywhere.The product page of Lowepro claims an interior size of 3.5W X 1.8D X 5.1H in., however the depth is actually 1 inch only. Lowepro's "bagfinder" suggested this pouch for my XZ-1, which is way too tight.
