There are a lot of cases for all sorts of items which basically use the same materials and construction. EVA hard case outer, felt inner, slightly fragile zips…..you may have one or more of those. Not terrible.This is different as soon as you take it out of the box. You can see from the pictures that it’s a bit like a pencil case with a zip down the middle. But less obvious is that the materials chosen feel like higher quality and there are design details which immediately lift the whole bag above others cases.It’s not a hard case as such, but does have high density foam pads inside for protection. It has a waterproof outer material and when closed the zip is enclosed under this material which should make the bag pretty splashproof as claimed. The zip feels good quality so far. It runs smoothly. I can’t be sure yet that it won’t fail in time (as many on those generic cases do), but it certainly feels better quality in its action.It’s a bit bigger than one might need unless you want to carry some additional accessories. Although it has belt loops, I'd personally find it too bulky and awkward used like that and opening it while on a belt is also not practical as things will just fall out. There is an elastic loop to which a strap or carabiner clip or similar could be attached.
