I have a case problem is when I use it it is out of the case, otherwise the thing is too damn big

Caused hard reset and loosened the left side of the camera casing by the lense. Second, cat knocked off nightstand. Landed on bottom edge and put a slight dent on the left top edge right next to where the power LED is. Also lost a little finish from that. Pretty sturdy unit. Can't see one of those flimsy NX's taking that kind of abuse.... __________________ Single file line please,ladies...

It survived the fall very well, a couple little scratches on the holder for the stylus tip and a little one the corner above the flash. I am very impressed with the fit and finish of the NZ.
