OK, on advice from here I have bought an S95, seems very nice so far!

Surprised to find that it didn't come with any kind of case, so I want to find something tout de suite.

I used to have a great case for my old FX7 which was a hard case with a zip. I don't want any space for spare batteries/memory cards, the emphasis is on it being as small as possible and protect the camera as well as possible - nothing soft.

I've had a look on Amazon but didn't see much of any use. Suggestions? Also after a screen protector too.

I bought a case for mine from Currys. About £15 or so. Maybe could have got it online for less, but the point was I could look/feel/try for size, which has a value to me. Also try Jessops.

Comet is a good place to browse.

This is the one you want... only available in USA, but I got mine in a week. V good quality, sits on my belt. Perfect fit for the S95

There's a hard leather one available from the UK Amazon store, but it's not a genuine Canon one:

Amazon or 7dayshop.com

Massive selection, half the price of anything in the High Street.

Can't look and feel it though can you? Not an issue with most stuff, but for something like a case I'll go highstreet for a tactile assessment.

Trust me, the proper one is the biz.

Thanks for all the suggestions - Steve, the leather one looks good but I wanted something with a hard shell, and not a big fan of leather ones.

I really liked the look of the Caselogic SLDC-201 ( http://www.dixons.co.uk/gbuk/caselogic-sldc-201-ul... ) but nowhere nearby had it in stock and I wanted one so I could play with the camera (I was surprised there was no tiny memory card / rudimentary case included).

As a result, just got back from a tour of the local retail park and bought a Lowepro Santiago 20. It's a bit of a tight fit but it does the job until I can get to see the Caselogic in the flesh...
