User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Canon Powershot A490
So far, we’re happy with this camera. It does not come with a card, so be prepared for that.
It is small and has a handy little carrying case; more lightweight than our previous Canons.
And the pictures have been fine.
1 Star works only on flash
without flash, picture and video quality is very poor, video is dull, picture colors get off, forget about taking a picture of none-still person. the picture size is big but it doesn’t guaranty good quality.
the picture quality is good with the flash, but it doesn’t last long, the “Charging the flash” message between pictures appeared after 20 shots on a new pair of battery.
4 Stars Good camera for a low price
I’ve had this camera for two weeks, and I’m almost completely satisfied.
Good:
Easy to use for basic point-and-shoot pictures and zooming
Quick to turn on
Picture quality is good
Not so good:
Several of our outdoor zoomed pictures had a noticable streak/lens flare if the camera was pointed in the same general direction as the sun.
As with most digital cameras, the instructions are skimpy and the features are indicated by cryptic little icons.
The screen seems fragile, although nothing has damaged it yet. Maybe not a problem.
Overall, not perfect, but quite worth the price.
3 Stars Well…
This camera takes GORGEOUS pictures, however, the battery life REALLY SUCKS!!! I bought the camera as a gift and my mom loves it, however, she says, “I have to carry about 50 batteries when I go out”. That part of it is sad…however, the pictures come out amazing!!!
5 Stars Never underestimate this camera’s performance by its low price.
The irony in the camera’s world is the cheaper the camera, the better the picture quality. This is true at least in my case. For years I’ve owned the following cameras in the order of their prices:
Canon A490 ($95) (5 stars)
Canon Xsi ($612) (5 stars)
Canon T2i ($849) (4 stars)
Nikon D70 ($1,000) (4 stars)
Canon 50D ($1,110) (3 stars)
Unfortunately, the order of the picture quality is just the opposite—Canon A490 being the best (5-star) and Canon 50D being the worst.
You can never complain anything about A490. Too bad I can’t post here stunningly beautiful pictures taken with my A490 that I recently purchased from Amazon.

Soft, weather resistant neoprene case with wrist strap protects your camera from scratches and provides the perfect storage for your camera. Features an outside pocket for media cards and a velcro beltloop.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Protect Digital Camera while keeping it with you
The Olympus Neoprene Soft Digital Camera Case Cushions the camera while in my pocket or purse without being bulky. It fits easily into a pant or jacket pocket. The camera is always with me being kept safe from scratches and dirt.
3 Stars Nice, quality case… not much room for storage.
This case fits the Olympus Tough camera “like a glove” but does not allow for much storage of extra batteries or cords. Probably would be best as an “on-the-go” case for when on a trip or assignment. Most likely needs a larger carrying case with more storage for everyday use.
5 Stars good
although it was a bit too big for my camera, I liked the quality of the material, and comfortability.
4 Stars good case
This case is a good fit and a convenient size for carrying. The smaller front pocket is perfect for carrying an extra battery or memory card.
5 Stars great little case
The soft case is exactly what I was hoping for! material is soft weight yet feels protective, hugs the camera perfectly and the velcro securely holds it in. There is a perfect sized pocket that can hold an extra memory card. It will do just the trick for an upcoming trip.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Very nice
It keeps the dust and dirt off of my GPS when I am not using it. Fits perfectly.
5 Stars It Fits
Fits perfect on the GPS that I bought about 6 months ago. It is a little tight, but the way I see it, snug is fine.
5 Stars Garmin carrying case
It works! My Garmin Nuvi fits the case perfectly. Handy for transporting, storing, and protecting my GPS.
2 Stars WAY too snug initially for the 600′s…had to STRETCH it…
The Garmin case that came with my 350 is MUCH softer than this, thicker leather and just fits “right”.
There was NO way initially of getting my 660 into this without accidentally turning the power on/off when trying to pull it out.
I am trying to stretch it for the second day by getting it a little damp and shoving a comparably sized cell phone case in plus some butter knives down the sides for a little added stretch. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work, or tear, but it has eased up but it is still a VERY tight fit. I have decided now that my 350 case is a little too loose and am going to slip something in to tighten it up.
If you can find a quality alternative, reasonably priced, that allegedly fits you might want to go for it, this is REALLY tight, and not the best quality, and not worth the shipping return…
5 Stars A must have
Bought this for my garmin nuvi 1350T. Definitely something you must purchase to store your 4.3″ gps in. Keeps dust off, and minor mishaps from occurring to it. Great quality, keeps shape well, perfect fit.

5 Stars PERFECT
Protects my camera perfectly. Just what i needed. Not too big. Couldn’t have asked for more. My camera is Kodak, still perfect.
4 Stars Pros & Cons
Pros:
-the size is fit for my Sony DSC W370
-got strap which you can use to hang around your neck
-got one small pocket (fit enough to put one extra battery)
-soft material
Cons:
-does not cover the whole camera (about 1″ of hole on each side)
-not much space to put other things
-a bit pricy
4 Stars camera case
good size for camera & battery, just needs a lanyard to hang from the neck
2 Stars Camera case is rather small
I bought this camera case for my Sony DSC-W290. The camera fits snugly in the case and the case has a small compartment, which I used to carry my spare battery. Note that I had to insert the spare battery in this compartment before I could put the camera in the case (not vice-versa). The case is well-padded and provides good protection for the camera. But the case is too small to carry other options such as the video playback cable, battery charger and more memory sticks. Also, it would be nice to have a strap for more secure carrying. The only strap is the camera strap which protrudes from the case if you let it.
I would recommend buying a different case if you need to carry such optional equipment. My other Sony camera case does have a long strap and more compartments, and is larger because the camera is an older larger model (DSC-P93). This case can carry all my cables, memory sticks and batteries.
2 Stars A ridiculously large case
It defeats the purpose of an ultracompact camera. This case if far larger then it needs to be.

Western Digital Hard Carrying Case for My Passport Portable Drives WDBABJ0000NBK NRSN Black
This custom-designed case is perfect for anyone who wants to transport their My Passport drive in a rugged, stylish case.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Hard Case
This is a good case that protects the external drive very well. I’m very happy with it and the price/value is there. It’s important to protect my data so I spent a few extra dollars to get a good protective case for the hard drive.
5 Stars very good carry case for WD Passport drive
This case is a very good hard case which has velvet cloth on the inner side. I liked it very much.
4 Stars Good
Will provide good protection and will hold USB cable. Didn’t like the red colour on the zipper though. Neoprene option (bought it also) is better for me (sleek, fitted, small). Came right in time.
5 Stars Perfect Fit
Great Nylon Case.
Looks cool has red interior with a small stretchy interior pocket to hold your usb cord as well and a small indentation on the inside of the pocket so your connection ports on the end of the cord have a little extra room. My 640 gb Elements portable hard drive fit perfectly and it closed for a nice snug fit. Great case, great construction. Cant go wrong. Its small and compact so easy to cary in a bag or brief case.
4 Stars Welcome Accessory For WD Passport
Made for the Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDBAAA5000ABK-NESN (Midnight Black). Also fits my Western Digital WD Elements 640 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDBAAR6400ABK-NESN snugly so I am delighted to own two of them, used for carrying around hard drives in my backpack. When fully unzipped two strong elastic pieces prevent the sides from opening all the way to stop you from inadvertently letting the drive fall out. The zip can be a little tough to pull around the corner but that’s a trivial complaint. Great value for a protective case.
