Not perfect, but works [Posted on 2008-06-02] The case fits my newly acquired SD870 IS. However, because it is a hard leather case, it feels a bit bulky. Also as other reviewer had point out, the button on the flap can scratch the LCD screen if not careful; make sure to use your other hand to cover the metal button in order to avoid the accidental scratching when you are taking the camera out or putting it in the case. For the case alone, I would rate it 3 stars.
The battery came with the camera is a lemon, it drained in one week without much use at all. At first I thought there was something wrong with the camera, power leak or somehitng. It happened repeatedly, I missed one photo oppertunity because of the dead battery and I almost returned the camera. But after I received the battery with this kit. The new battery stays on and on and on. It is now after several hundreds of photos and several weeks later, it is still pretty much charged, amazing performance. I would rate the battery 5 stars.
all as promised [Posted on 2008-06-04] The item that I ordered was exactly as depicted, and arrived on time, undamaged. The price was better than from other vendors.
Good battery, disappointing case [Posted on 2008-06-07] I bought this kit for my SD 870 IS because it was just a few dollars more than the battery alone. Having the extra battery (and the piece-of-mind of having a Canon battery) was worth the cost. The batteries last a surprisingly long time, and one will certainly last long enough to charge another battery.
The battery is the end of the value in this package for me. I didn't feel like the SD870 fit in the case very well. So the case has remained in the box. The strap seems rather frivolous. I'd rather have a strap on my camera that I can get a firm hold on.
I wish I had bought just the battery instead. The extras aren't worth the few extra dollars.
Canon camera accessory kit [Posted on 2008-06-13] This is a great case for my Canon SD 850. I traveled in Europe with it on my belt, out of sight and there when I needed it. Nice to have the Canon back up battery too.
Do NOT use the leather strap that comes with the case [Posted on 2008-06-21] Do NOT use the leather strap that comes with the case, it scratched my brand new 870IS in minutes before I realized it was the metal button on the strap. Canon should be crucified for such design failure.
