Summary: Almost cost me my camera.

Comment: Can't see why they suggest this holster for this camera. No sooner had i put the camera in the holster for the first time than it slipped right out. Luckily the camera withstood the severe blow. This holster is almost guaranteed to cost you your camera: It simply does not fit the Sanyo camera it's supposed to be made for. Keep away.

Get a standard camera bag with zippers. I did. Now it's really protected. For example a Lowepro Edit 100 Camcorder bag which is what i got and fits perfect, head down.

Summary: doesn't feel secure

Comment: I got this with my Xacti HD 1000 and it doesn't feel like it was made for this camera. It always feels like it's going to fall out and it did, luckily I was home on my couch messing around with it when it fell. I no longer use it and the little bag that comes with the Xacti works just fine for me.

Summary: It's backwards!

Comment: I would not buy this case because it looks like its completely backwards of how I would want it... my preference would be to place it on my right hip where it would be easily accessible by my right hand, which is the only hand you would be using to shoot, correct? Why in the world would I want it to be on my left? I would have to take the camera out and switch hands constantly. The whole point of these small palm cameras is quick accessibility even at times when you are traveling and have only one free hand.

Also it looks quite a lot like a gun holster which I guess could be good or bad depending on what kind of 'look' you are after!

Summary: Case closed -- Not!

Comment: Sanyo VCP-HCX3 Holster Case for the HD1000
I installed a UV filter immediately upon purchase of the camcorder, found that with the filter in place the case would not close properly. The problem is easy to solve by stapling a strip of heavy-duty velcro fastener on either side of the case, then cutting the matching velcro strip of appropriate length to stretch between the 2 strips. This is an issue that Sanyo could, and should, have addressed itself. Some field testing would have promptly revealed the design flaw in the case and Sanyo's solution would be more elegant, I'm sure. Or not?
