Quite honestly, it all for me depends on price. I acquired an Olympus C-5050 years ago which is still in regular use today. When I bought it from an internet supplier, I also acquired a generic, suitable case which is soft, fits it perfectly with the usual extra pockets for "goodies" and cost a lot less that an official Olympus one. It gives the camera excellent protection and I am very satisfied with it.
