jps246's Full Review: FUJIFILM Fuji 600007925 FinePix Z33WP Neoprene Cas...
As part of my FujiFilm Z33wp digital camera purchase, one of the items I got was the Fujifilm Neoprene Sport Case. This case is specifically designed to snugly fit the Z33wp digital camera. My only real problem with it, is that there is not any extra space to store anything else with the camera. Though since the camera has a proprietary battery, it is not like I would be carrying extra batteries around with the camera.
Basics
The Neoprene Sport Case is more like a protective coat for the camera when you are not using it. The neoprene fits snugly to the camera, which slides in when you pop open the top of the case. It covers about 99% of the camera and will protect it from all but the roughest drops or scratches since the neoprene can absorb a lot of energy before the camera is damaged.
It is also a handy case if you're using the camera in the water since you will not have to worry about getting the case wet - neoprene is waterproof. When I've gotten the case wet though, I make sure to take the camera out when I am somewhere dry so that the camera and the case can completely dry out and I don't get mold growing anywhere.
The case only weighs a few ounces and protects the camera with about a quarter of an inch of neoprene.
The case is very snug. The camera slides in and does not leave any room for anything else.
On the back of the case is a small look (too small to be a belt loop) and there's a mini-carabiner attached to the small look that lets you clip the camera on to straps and I guess on your belt.
Experiences
The case works as advertised. When I have the camera in it, I do not worry that much about accidentally damaging the camera. I can toss it into my backpack or into a suitcase and I know it will be okay when I pull it out.
I do wish that there was a belt strap on the case, since I tried attaching the case to my belt with the carabiner and it flopped around too much for my taste, so I just keep it clipped to my backpack straps when I am out hiking with the camera and the case.
I would have liked an extra pocket on the case so I could carry an extra memory card or something in the case. However since the camera does not take standard batteries and with the size of memory cards todays, I guess it is unlikely that I would really be using that additional space.
If you have the silicone case on the camera, it will not fit into this case. In those cases, you have to choose between just keeping the camera in the silicone case or taking it off and storing it in this case.
Final Thoughts
If you are looking for a case that will protect your FujiFilm FinePix Z33wp Digital Camera, the Fujifilm Neoprene Sport Case is a good choice. It fits your camera in it like a glove and the neoprene will protect the camera from just about any kind of potential damage.
