Norazza Ape AC252

Date Published: 11/9/05

The Norazza Ape AC252 digital camera case is different than any other small case we've seen, and we have reviewed cases at photo trade shows for many years.

First and foremost, it's a nicely padded case measuring 5.5x4.3x2.5 inches inside, which is suitable for most smaller sizes of digital cameras. But, loosen a strap on the side, and then pull apart a hook and loop strip under that, and it opens wide to provide a 15.5x6.5 inch wallet suitable for storing a variety of accessories needed for digital photography.

One zippered pocket 1/3 the size of the long wallet has a transparent mesh front so you can easily see the contents. A 9-inch-long zippered pocket has many smaller pockets inside to compartmentalize accessories while about 1/3 of the far end has two smaller zippered front pockets.

There is adequate storage for extra media cards and batteries, instructions, credit cards, passport, traveler's checks, and other small items typically carried when traveling. As with the other Ape cases, the heavy-duty, water-resistant nylon exterior is black while the inside is bright yellow.

An adjustable length, padded shoulder strap can be easily attached to two eye rings on each end of the top and a wide belt loop has a double strip of strong hook and loop material for easier attachment when used. 

The Norazza Ape AC252 is very well made with nice attention to construction detail for durable long life.
