In the old film cameras era, I recall that when you purchase an SLR
camera, it usually comes with a soft or a hard (leather) case. The
case is attached to the camera via a screw to the tripod mount at the
bottom of the camera. I wonder why they do not have any more of this
type of camera case? Since it is attached like a "skin" to the
camera, I usually did not need to buy a camera soft pouch case. The
case will protect the camera outer shell from dust, and perhaps little
bumps; although it will not likely help to reduce impact if the camera
falls. On a second thought, I also wonder if the new padded camera
cases that you can get at the camera stores nowadays can protect the
camera if it falls either. Anyone has some thought about this?

The correct term is NeverReady Case.

If you shot any kind of volume, they just slowed you down.

Even today, I don't put my camera in a case, my wife does. She's always
telling me the camera is protected in the case. And, she's trying to teach
our daughter to keep her camera protected. So far, our daughter seems to be
more like her old man, keeping the camera out and handy.

Still, had I had my cam in a bag at the zoo, my lens would be in better
shape today...
