Page 3 – Port Digital Pouch

Price: 12$ (recommended end user price)

Dimentions: 125 x 80 x 30 mm.

As the name suggests, Digital Pouch is a pouch for your smaller digital toys. It is targeted mainly at the digital cameras and camcorders, although that does not limit its ways of use:

The bag is made of though and thick dark brown cloth, that at first sight looks dull. But upon looking closer in to detail you'll come to realize this is a rather stylish and quality product. Hera a bit of graphics on the face of the bag could do wonders. We were rather surprised to find that when the zipper is closed the Port logo is on the inside (you can see it on the photos). This is a bit puzzling, but we assume that this is somewhat of a manufacturing issue. The bag itself is attached to your belt via snap button. And this button alone is the biggest setback for the Port Digital Pouch – no matter how strong it is, it unbuttons easily. Every time I sat in a car for example the bag went up and the button came undone. Besides, should ill intended persons around you bear grievous envy about your digital toys, all they have to do is simply pull the bag (which WILL come undone) and leg it. Should this button was replaced with Velcro strip, things would be much more different, the whole thing would be a lot thinner if nothing else. We do understand this is created in the way it is for comfortability, but we must not forget the security issues too:

Port Digital Pouch has one main compartment, well laminated with the polymer water resistant material and has walls thick enough to protect the device from the occasional bump. On the back we find another compartment that has few smaller pockets and is big enough to fit a thin cell phone. There is no digital camera in the bag on the pictures, alas there could not be one since I was using it :). Still I do believe you get a clear idea nevertheless:

And in the end a very pleasant surprise – Port not only provided reversed zipper for water protection, but also added integrated raincoat for the bag. This way even if you are caught by a summer storm out in the open, the camera in your pouch will be as protected as if it was in a backpack:
