Looks good to me....

I originally bought a Case Logic QPB202 case for my newly-acquired G7X MkII but I had three issues with it:

1. It was a little bulky;

2. I didn't like the zipper on it as it would always scrape against the camera;

3. It wasn't easy enough to get the camera into and out of the case.

So I decided to get the Canon DCC-1880 case which is specifically made for the G7X MkII. Initial impressions are very positive. It's a discreet, compact case, it looks very good (even though it's fake leather), it has a strong magnetic fastener and there's no zipper to scrape the camera body.

The camera itself fits very snugly inside the case and is easy to insert and remove. There is also a belt loop on the back of the case (more on this later).

The magnetic fastener is surprisingly strong and there's a reassuring click when the front flap is correctly aligned and fastened.

Now the downsides: the top of the belt loop seems to be glued onto the case and I can see it coming apart very slight;y already, however I won't be using the belt loop so it's not an issue for me. It really doesn't look secure.

The shoulder strap is permanently attached to the case so cannot be removed. It's also a little thin so may dig into your shoulder. I would have preferred a much wider shoulder strap that was removable. However, the shoulder straps shortcomings also mean that is adds very little extra bulk to the case.

If you're in the UK then you can get a very good deal on this case if you purchase it from the Official Argos Shop on eBay. The cost is just 17.99GBP plus 3.95GBP delivery making a total of 21.94GBP.

Here's a few photos of the Canon DCC-1880 case:

I hope this mini-review is useful for anyone considering buying this case for their Canon PowerShot G7 X MkII.
