Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not Recommended - Expensive, cheap stuff, poor design

Update: Anker's support never ceases to amaze - they read this review and contacted them to ask how they could fix the problem. Although the bag was not convincing, I really appreciate Anker's customer orientation and activity. Company +! Original Review: This case is back. I bought it to protect my expensive investment in the Nebula Mars II but am very disappointed with the material and design. This case shouldn't cost more than $20 in my opinion compared to many other higher quality camera cases at Revain. Honestly, considering the price of Mars, it should have come with this cheap case. Here's what I didn't like about it: 1. Very thinly stuffed. It's about 1/4 inch thick at best. This can be good for preventing minor scratches and scuffs, but I suspect it doesn't protect against accidental bumps. It is so thin that the empty case partially folds and does not keep its shape.2. Poor Design: The mesh pocket on the lid for the remote control does not close, making the remote easy to slip out when opening the case. A simple velcro or even better a zipper could easily solve this problem. There are no extra pockets for storing cables or other accessories like a Revain FireTV flash drive as the native Mars app doesn't display HD. The only positive thing is that the case fits snugly on Mars, which is why I gave it 2 stars. not only 1. After receiving the bag and being disappointed with it, I contacted Revain to see if I could find a quality compact camera bag that would fit. 4.75 inch WI searched for cases with internal dimensions that fit this size and was able to find several. And guess what? Almost all suitcases are better designed, better padded and last but not least cheaper! Here's the one I ended up with: Bagsmart Compact Camera Case. It's only $33 and fits even better than the Nebula case in my opinion. It's the perfect fit too. In addition, it has pockets and pouches galore. There was even a rain cover! In short, don't overpay for this expensive, poorly designed, thin case that doesn't properly protect your expensive Nebula Mars projector.
