Case Logic QPB-5 Medium Camcorder Case (Black/Gray) Review
The Case Logic QPB-5 Medium Camcorder Case (Black/Gray), showed up at my door a day early, which was a blessing as my wife was awaiting it’s arrival with the highest of expectations. My wife and I had our first child six months prior to ordering this case. We suffer from “new parents syndrome”. We aren’t sure what we might need, so we buy it all! My wife and I began to equate quality with price. We want the absolute best for our son, can you blame us? We’ve now seen the error of our ways…(high price does NOT necessarily mean high quality!) , I ordered a camcorder from Amazon.com a few short weeks before ordering the QPB-5. I did not order a case when I submitted my order for the camcorder, because I thought it would be easy to find a reasonably priced, quality case somewhere in the Las Vegas city limits. I was so very wrong. The quality of camcorder cases sold in retail stores for under 0 is laughable. I wanted a case that would not only hold my camcorder and all its accessories, cables, discs and cards, but also protect the camera. I didn’t expect to get a case that would allow me to throw the camcorder across the room without damage, but that is exactly what I got in the Case Logic QPB-5 Medium Camcorder Case. My camcorder records on 3″ Mini DVD’s, and SD Memory Cards. I am able to fit extra DVD’s (and of course SD Cards) into this case with all the accessories, and still zip it closed with ease. The QuickDraw camera case pocket pulls the camera forward when opened for fast, easy removal, and has Velcro straps that hold the camera in place once in the pocket. So I actually could throw this case, packed full of my camcorder and accessories, across the room without breaking a thing. Add to that the understated good looks of this case, and you have a product that compares to the ultra-expensive/over-priced cases in stores and online, for a fraction of the price. The only problem I have with this wonderful product is the shoulder strap being a bit short. The shoulder strap may be short, but Case Logic makes up for it in style, comfort and quality. 90% of all camcorder cases I came across had either a simple nylon strap for your shoulder, or some companies went all out and had a generic, sliding peice of fake leather being passed of as a pad. Even my one small complaint seems to support the overall superiority of this case. The Case Logic QPB-5 has a wide strap that distributs weight evenly, providing the illusion of carrying much less weight. Add to the excellent design, a pad shaped for the human shoulder, and, while it could be a few inches longer, you have the best shoulder-strap design out there for under 0! I recommend this case to anyone who is looking to spend less than 0, and wants the best product available!
