Protection with no frills

The workmanship is perfect. The seams are clean, the material valuable and unlike the Ixus Leather Case (which I also own) I could not see any bruises or otherwise. The inside is slightly velvety, yet it is only around the inside of real leather, not an extra lining. In the picture it looks like, as if it were in his pocket to a rectangular block. That's not true. Seen from above, the bag bulges on the lens slightly forward so it sits really fit and 'wasted' little place.

On the back of a belt loop is attached, which is not completely flat 'so you can attach the bag also to relatively thick belt. The two closures are described in the other reviews magnetically, while snap almost automatically if one snaps shut pocket. Only one catch snaps in, so no need to 'make right' both magnetic buttons. A fumbling I could not find the best of intentions.

There are recesses for the lens and hand strap. However, these are not likely to leave the camera in your pocket and take pictures. In the SX220 / 230, the on-off switch is located diagonally above almost on the back of the camera, making it hard to operate when the camera is in your pocket.

In practice, the case suggests excellent. Unlike alternatives with Velcro and zippers it can also be necessary in situations silently open (eg weddings etc.). The bag made of genuine leather surface is relatively smooth and remains in dig out from your pocket or other pockets hang anywhere, but also provides adequate slip resistance for your hands. The padding is not as outstanding as at various synthetic bags, but still sufficient. Falls from a low height should withstand the camera in it.

How have written some of the previous speakers, the bag offers no storage space for accessories. Just what I as an advantage, as this is the case nearly as thin as the camera itself. Additional subjects would make the pocket just thick and unwieldy. I recommend for replacement batteries and SD card, a cloth bag or a fabric smartphone envelope. Now I'm even surprised how much you can write to as a camera bag. I hope there are still no questions unanswered.

Conclusion: Buy recommendation.
