This was exactly what I wanted and just didn't know it until I received it. The cut in the side for the handle is brilliant. I don't use the attachments, just barebones case. I wanted something as small as I could find and nothing I could have found be more form fitting and functional as this one.
Exactly as described but little pricey

Item was as described and shipped moderately fast. Price was a little higher than other places.
Reveiw of Sony LCS-CXA case

This is the best camcorder case I have ever owned. However, it was designed for the HDR=CX12.

Great for quick shots.
Excellent idea, for "no accessory" folks, with a caveat.

I guess I'm a case snob. It seems none of the cases I ever buy are exactly good for the few accessories I always want to bring with me. After buying a Sony HDR-CX7 (predecessor of the CX12 that this case is for), I found a generic case that was fairly well suited for my needs -- except when I had the larger battery plugged in (then the top won't zip shut very well) or when I bought the arm strap for the Sony (can be wedged in, but tight).

So, seeing Sony made a custom case for the HRD-CX12 (which I now have), I thought I'd give it a shot. When I first saw this camera case, I thought it was an awful concept. But, after seeing a promotional video for the CX12, where the camera guy just flipped out his camera from his hip like drawing a gun from a holster, I thought "oh, that could work."

So I bought it online, and here are my comments:

For just the camera, and a spare battery, this is an ideal case. The top flap can be adjusted so the largest battery fits with no problems. It's still a tight fit if you also have the optional arm strap on the HDR-CX12, though.

Inside the top lid is a velcro patch that opens, then has slots for two memory cards. They seem well protected. The extra case clips through a side loop on the bag and can fit even the largest battery pack with easy. Smaller accessories should not be stored here, since the case is not enclosed -- you can see the edges of the battery at the top and bottom, so little items (like a memory card) might slip out.

That is the downfall of this case, really. The handle of the camera is exposed, meaning if you have it out in a wet day, or have it on with you at Disneyland while riding Splash Mountain, water could get in to your camera or battery. There's not much you can do about that with the "holster" design of this case so for folks who stay away from wet, it's great.

But, the battery pouch should be sealed. And, there should be a second one for the other side. I think if I could find another one I'd be very happy. (Sony says they don't sell one, and couldn't even tell me how to order a replacement through their parts department).

For casual folks, though, this is a great bet for the HDR-CX12. It's the most convenient camera case I've ever had.
Great Carrying Case, but pricey

The Sony LCS-CXA Carrying Case is really great and well made. The only thing I would add is an add-on for the optional lenses/lights that may come with the camcorders. It is also very expensive for what you get.
