I really like the case and how well it is built. The entire case is neoprene, but the back has a cupped hard plastic shell that supports and protects the camera. I purchased the case for my 9 year old and her new digital camera. I would have given 5 stars but the color is decieving. The case we recieved is a much darker blue. I am still overall pleased with the product, just know that the color may vary.
