Now for some covetable, blow-the-budget camera cases that cost more than the camera! This Alexander Wang bag is so gorgeous that it would also double beautifully as an evening bag. Sure, it´s expensive, but it´s also excellent quality, so if you want something that lasts, here´s the one for you.

Somewhat more affordable (relatively speaking), here´s an eye-catching red case.

Smythson is a brand also known for its luxury leather accessories. This purple camera case with quilted lining will not only keep your camera safe, but look gorgeous as well. Although it lacks a wrist strap, it would be perfect for keeping in a handbag.

Of course, not all camera cases hurt your budget. For less than 7 dollars, if you have a Canon Powershot you can house it in this gorgeous little pink case with a smart white stripe. It might fit other models as well, but do check the measurements of both camera and case carefully. And it does have that practical little wrist strap.
Price: $5.98-9.56 at amazon.com
Do you prefer a moulded camera case for added protection? This one comes in a choice of five colours to suit all tastes, from basic black to bold magenta. I like the fiery red one. This case accommodates most compact cameras, and has an internal pocket for memory cards.

This plaid case has a touch of the Vivienne Westwood style about it – without the designer price tag. Don't you love affordable camera cases? There´s also a herringbone version for $9.99. The case can also be used to hold your cell phone or Mp3 player, so it´s versatile!
There are gorgeous, stylish camera cases to suit every budget, so you´re bound to find the perfect one for you. Don´t forget to check dimensions of both camera and case before buying, though – you wouldn´t want to be disappointed when your camera won´t fit! What would your perfect camera case look like, if you could design it yourself?
