Manufacturer's Description
You've just bought the newest, smallest and shiniest digital camera and now you're terrified of marking or damaging your pristine piece of technology. We've all been there. Everyone likes their gadgets to stay shiny for as long as possible, and to help you achieve that dream Made products have developed the Always On Camera Wrap. The concept couldn't be much simpler, you just screw the wrap into the tripod fitting on the base of all cameras, and then wrap the camera up in the stretchy, protective neoprene. Hey presto, you're protected. The Velcro fastener flips open easily for taking shots, but vitally, the wrap stays attached to the base of the camera so you don't leave it behind. Unwrap, snap and wrap, and now you can stuff your camera in your bag or pocket without worrying that it's going to get up close and personal with your keys, or anything else likely to scratch the screen or damage its pristine beauty. No more scratches, no more cracks and most of all, no more leaving your camera case on the table of the last café you stopped at - perfect.

Protection perfection!
I bought this Wrap Up Compact Camera Case to protect my Sony Cybershot T500. I had previously bought a leather case for it but it was cumbersome to lift the camera in and out every time I wanted to use it, and it also increased the camera's bulk in my bag.

But this case is perfection! It screws into the tripod hole on the camera and then simply wraps round the camera and fastens with Velcro. When I want to use the camera, I just pull the flap and let the case go - and it hangs down out of the way. When I've finished taking photos, I just wrap it back round and put it back in my bag. I can grab my camera and be taking photos in moments - but keep the camera protected in between shots.

The case is made of squashy, thick, stretchy nylon (I think it's called Neoprene), and offers a good amount of protection without bulk. I would think it would fit most compact cameras.

I love clever designs that solve a problem - and this does exactly that.

A LATER ADDITION TO MY REVIEW:
I ordered a second Always On case last week for my second camera, and was disappointed to find that the screw was different. On my first Always On case (a black one), the screw with which you attach the case to the camera had a little handle, which made it easy to tighten and untighten. The second case (a blue one) just has a screw head, so you need to use a coin or a knife edge or a screwdriver to tighten or untighten it. For many people this may not be an issue, but in order to download my photos to my PC I need to take the case off my camera so that I can sit the camera in its cradle.
I emailed the company that make these cases, and they replied saying that all the newest designs will have the little handles. Obviously I had an old design.
I still absolutely recommend these excellent little cases, but thought it was worth mentioning to anyone thinking of buying one: perhaps check to make sure that it's the new design with the handled screw on.

Ideal for compact cameras
I previously carried my Pentax Optio S12 camera around in a leather case to prevent the stainless steel casing getting scratched but then always had to find somewhere to tuck the case when taking shots.

This wrap is the ideal solution, it attachs to your camera via the tripod hole and wraps around the camera and fastens with a velcro strip. The bar attachment that fits via the tripod hole can be moved to the side by slightly loosening the screw should you need to access the battery/card compartments. When you want to take a photo just unwrap, (the wrap hangs below your camera still attached) take your picture and wrap camera up again.

The wrap itself measures 21cm x 11.5cm and is made of soft, stretchy neoprene fabric which is quilted for protection but not too bulky and it comes in different designs.

My camera measures 8.7cm (w) x 5.4 cm (h) x 2.1 cm (d) and this case is an ideal fit. The manufacturer guidelines state suitable for cameras up to 11.4cm x 2.5cm depth.

The picture here shows a screw fastener to the tripod hole indicating that a coin etc would be needed to undo it. Mine has a clip attached to a smooth topped screw for fastening/unfastening which folds flat when not in use.

I bought this based on the previous reviews and have to agree it's a great buy!

Excellent
I bought this for the Panasonic LX3 and although its tight when you wrap it round at first, it soon stretches. I have 4 other cases for this camera but use this all the time. It fits well into the pocket, is easy to go from wrapped to ready to shoot in no time. Also it easily slips round on the screw in the tripod socket of the camera, to enable access to the battery and sd card. First class get one and you will not regret it.
