I honestly did not expect the world from this, but after it was shipped I was very pleasantly surprised.It is exactly as pictured, with a snap on the portion that allows you to access the SD card and battery.Having the case on has not hampered me from attaching any additional plates or manipulating the camera when it is on any tripod I own.More importantly, not pictured, but included with mine was a wrist strap styled in the same way as the case.So... honestly I can see myself using a different case in the future, but this little strap is going to stay attached for life.I have other small straps, perhaps even ones that detach easily... I love this strap.
