Default Anyone remembers those old soft and hard camera cases?

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?
Thanks for the info/discussion.


My nice old Canon case which is still in perfect shape after 40 years
(has it really been that long?). So doesn't anyone make a nice
leather case for digital cameras that mounts on the bottom through a
screw hole in the tripod mount where one can open the clasp button and
the top portion drops down, just leaving the bottom attached, and you
start adjusting the camera and taking pics, just as with the old Canon
case?

the problem is that a dslr has an lcd screen and numerous buttons on
the back, and any case would likely block that, making it difficult to
use the camera.
