Be ready to photograph in a flash with the AJK-THA active lifestyles carrying case. Designed to perfectly fit your Cyber-shot DSC-T1 digital camera, the AJK-THA features a Velcro flap that allows you to take pictures without removing the camera from the case. The jacket case even does double-duty as a tripod to help stabilize your shots. Its sleek design and polyurethane construction combine to give you style and protection. It's the perfect case for anyone on the go.
1 Good protection, easy to flip open & shoot.
This case does not add much to the size of the DSC T1, but does add good protection (esp. at the edges where the camera would impact). I have dropped the camera in this cas from a few feet & it suffered no ill affects.
Good:
* Fits perfectly
* Offers quick open front for very quick shots (no need to remove camera from case)
* Offers good protection for camera as a whole
Bad (but unavoidable):
* Adds slightly to thickness
* Plastic protection for LCD distorts it slightly (& nullifys antiglare LCD coating)
* Use of buttons, etc. slightly more difficult as they are under plastic
* Must remove camera from case to put in cradle
Would not carry camera around without it & don't know how they could have done better w/the case.
2 Love this Camera Case!!!
I got the Sony T1 for a gift and needed a case for it. I have several other cameras and have found that I rarely use the case it comes with, they are either too bulky or it is just too much of a hassel taking it in and out of the case to use. This one is PERFECT. I do not have to worry about scratching the camera if I put it in my purse or pocket. It fits the camera just perfect and does not make it too bulky. The best thing is you never have to remove it from the case unless you are going to use it with the cradle. I will probably never use the tripod feature so that part doesn't make any diffence to me but I do like the clear plastic window on the back. The plastic window does not distort or cloud the viewing area and you can operate all the buttons very easily. My viewing area will never get scratched as I will probably put this in my jean pocket most of the time. It will also prevent the camera from getting dirty or dusty. This case also gives the very small camera alittle more substance and I don't feel like I might drop it. I also found a couple of times when I used it without the case I accidently opened the battery compartment, this will prevent that. All around this is a great case and I am really glad that I have a case that I will use all the time. I would recommend this to everyone especially those of us that aren't always that careful with our cameras.
3 Convenient and fully protects camera!
Yes, the Active Jacket does fully protect the camera - there is a plastic cover on the back to prevent scratching while simultaneously allowing one to use the expansive viewfinder. It's extremely compact and snugly fits the camera. Extremely convenient since you don't have to take the camera out of its case! An added plus is that it allows for a tripod mount, although I really can't imagine using this with a tripod. However, the case is of excellent quality and performs wonderfully.
4 Is the fragile, vulnerable LCD screen covered, or not?
As best I can tell from a n y of the pictures, or descriptions of this case, the LCD screen on the back of the camera is always left uncovered. Only the front of the camera -- which already has a sliding panel covering the viewfinder and lens -- is protected by the flap which appears to fasten at the top of the camera. Is this correct? If so, then this case is only useful for the tripod mount. Pretty ridiculous if the most vulnerable part of the camera is not protected!
5 Sony AJKTHA Case for DSCT1 Adds Tripod Mount
When I initially read about the Sony DSCT1 I was pretty excited. This in turn was much inflated hype, UNTIL I bought the Sony AJKTHA Active Jacket Case. First off, it was much more reasonaby priced thourgh Amazon, and they offer free shipping on items over 25$ (in general, but there are some restrictions) which is something I noticed was a big difference between Amazon and Sony's more complex website. The protective sleeve fits the T1 snugly and covers it with padded velcro release fastens on the front and bottom of the case. The bottom of the case also has a built in tripod mount (something the T1 failed to come with probably because of size and the design, it being ment to rest in the T1 dock. The thing I found most useful however was the built in tripod mount. Its no longer a worry to gently carry my T1 in a shoulder bag or jacket pocket in fears that it would get scratched or nicked/dinged. The case provides pretty comprehensive coverage and insulation of the camera from casual day to day usage. The tripod mount is wonderful, because as you know if you own one, the camera body is so small that its almost impossible to not get camera shake/blur when taking night tim images. Now for the cons. You have to be careful that you use a compatile tripod, as some may screw in too deeply and damage the camera. The feel of the plastic does not feel very rugged. This only accounts for about 30% of the cases materials. Also keep in mind that you will have to remove the case every time you uplaod pics to your comp or other peripheral and the T1 was designed to rest cradked in its dock. This isnt a big deal as the battery has yet to die on me. Finally to keep this from getting to technical (its case for a camera, serously) i would highly recomend that you purchase this case for your camera before you get it, This will pretty much keep your camera in great condition and when im not afraid of small thngs interfering with our spoiling my camera which I (stupid me) paid 600 dollars for, It tends to get used more. Finally, a good tip for low light pictures here you want the sharpness but the effect is to use the timer button on your T1 when using it with a tripod, this virtually elminates any camera shake and provides exceptional result (the little button directly beneath the center button on the control area of the T1)
