Abstract: Disclosed is a soft camera case of the "ever-ready" type, in which the case is suspended by a carrying strap, in such a position as to provide swift and easy access to a camera, as for example when one observes a photographic subject and must take a photograph with minimum delay, lest the opportunity be lost. The case is so shaped as to be universally adapted to receive cameras of different makes and sizes, while yet protectively, snugly enclosing the same. A carrying strap has its ends connected directly to the camera, and has end portions loosely slidable in apertures provided in the cover of the case. Upon removal of the camera, the case is free to slide along the end portions of the strap until its cover engages shoulders provided upon the strap to limit further slidable movement. The end portions are adjustable in length, so that the case and camera will separate only to the extent desired by the particular user.
