As Advertised
I wanted a 'camera cosy' for my new magnificent Canon S90. This fills the bill. I combined it with a Bower wrist strap and the camera doesn't seem as fragile as it is. The complaints about the lack of storage are idiotic. The whole point of this wrap is NOT to schlep all the extras 'on board.' I like it.

Old School Protection
The first thing I thought of when I saw Lowepro's D-Wrap were the covers common to SLR cameras 40 years ago. Unsnap the back and flip the portion connected to the front half over the top and let the whole thing hang while you take the shot. At the end of the day, the camera and its cover went back into a larger camera case, where all the film and lenses were stored.
Because I'm from that era, I immediately purchased the D-Wrap for my ZS3. The cover needs to stretch a slight bit to go around the ZS3, but this makes it snug and secure. Its compact enough for me to slip the wrapped camera into a jacket pocket. The camera can be out of my pocket, un-wrapped and ready for that once-in-a-lifetime photo in seconds. The wrap has no place for spare batteries or memory cards, but if your camera is no larger than the ZS3, the camera and D-Wrap fit perfectly into Lowepro's "Ridge 10" camera case Lowepro Ridge 10 Camera Case (Black). The case has plenty of storage for those things, plus a micro fiber lens cloth and maybe a stick of gum or two. These two products have become my 21st Century equivalent of the old-time SLR cover and case I'd lug all over the landscape many decades back. Now, I leave the Ridge 10, with all the accessories in the car and slip the D-wrapped camera into my pocket. I have to confess, I love this thing.
Why did I only give it 4 stars? Well, if Lowepro would apply a little fine tuning, the wrap could be perfect. First, if the head of the tripod mount bolt had its own 1/4-20 threaded socket, the D-Wrap wouldn't need to be removed for tripod use. Also, On my camera, the mounting needs to be rotated whenever I change the battery or memory card. This in itself, isn't a major issue, but after twisting the wrap back and forth, the screw loosens and always has to be re-tightened. A cleaner way to access bottom located hatches would be good. One final caution: Make sure the camera is turned off before using the wrap. If your camera goes into standby mode, the lens will retract. If you begin wrapping your camera while its in this mode, chances are the shutter will depress enough to activate the lens and the wrap's material is probably tough enough to do some damage to the mechanism as it tries to extend.
All that aside, security is probably the D-wrap's greatest attribute. Small cameras are slick and slippery. While shooting, I trap the hanging wrap against my palm with my little fingers. If the camera should slip, my hands are still holding the end of the wrap. Unless I'm hanging upside down from an airplane wing, I rarely use the sissy-strap any more. This is one great product.

nice
People have complemented and asked where I got it. It would have been better if they could put a secure pocket for memory card storage.

Compact, easy access, yet still provides protection for camera
I like this case a lot because it's simple and compact. You don't need to slip it in and out of a case. It just rolls out and unwraps , making it very easy to take your camera out for quick pictures. Also , as a female, I hate cases that are bulky and will not fit in my small bags. This case protects the screen and camera without creating extra Bulk. Though some will argue that since the case does not provide a 100% seal, your camera can still get damaged. However, I was more concern about scratches on my display than protecting it from liquid or rain. I don't intend to ever put waterbottle in the same bag as my camera, or risk my camera out in the rain.
LOVE the product. Very worth the money i paid (this wrap is also cheaper than most of the camera holders out there.

LowePro Provides Pro-Level Innovation and Quality to the General Consumer.
I'm not a professional photographer; in fact I'm not even very good at taking snapshots--so thank goodness the camera designs are getting smarter and smarter--but I do carry my camera with me every day.
And as someone who does nearly constantly have his camera handy but is not a pro I really appreciate this D-Wrap case, which is my second great camera case from LowePro.
This is an especially good case for athletes like me because not only does it make the camera in the case as compact and convenient as carrying the camera without a case in my cycling jersey pocket or the Bento Box strapped to the top tube of my bicycle along with Clif Bars, money, and Advil for all day riding events, but it's also as easy to open and use the camera in an instant while providing adaquate protection from road vibration (which could damage both camera and an expensive bike frame), light rain, dirt, and perspiration.
With this case, my camera is always at the ready, and yet it's in a case as well.
I don't even carry a wallet--too bulky--but I carry my camera in this case.
Since the camera is attached to the case where you would normally attach it to a tripod, you don't actually have to remove the camera from the case, then put the case in a pocket and hope you don't drop it and lose it somewhere. With this case, I can get my camera out of its protective cover, use the camera, and put it back in the case all one-handed.
Like I wrote above, this is my second LowePro case--the other one has zippers and pockets with space for the bare essentials--and only reinforces my recommendation for this brand of case exclusively. I don't know of any other brand that provides professional level quality and performance to the general consumer at a general consumer price.
BOTTOM LINE: Couldn't possibly be better or cheaper. And the design looks great too.
