How sturdy is this case and is the camera protected against the elements when holding the case with top handle?

I found it very sturdy from the top handle. I read people were stating it bowed on the sides. I have had no such issues. Walmart sells thisnbag. I did my research there. Well made, sturdy and equipment is safe, secure and snug. Nothing mofes around.

It's extremely sturdy! Nikon doesn't build anything half ass! It's as protected as it's going to get against anything, handle is firm!

No technical measurement. I am just a user of this case who is happily using it to carry my 5100D SLR camera and my purse and my phone. The cushion inside the bag is a good enough protection.

I purchased this as a gift for my son. He loved it and I haven't heard him say anything negative about the case. Sorry I couldn't help more. I do know it was sturdy, don't know about the handle.

The magnets are fairly strong. The camera fits very snuggly into the case, it's almost too snug of a fit. I would prefer if the fit was not so snug but there is no way the camera could fall out of the case. You have to pull the strap on the camera and hold onto the case in order to get the camera out. Hope this helps!

It is VERY secure! There is a sturdy encasement that holds it in place. I have had zero issues with this case. I love it!

It fits great and does not cover the camera. In fact the handle makes it much easier to take photos

It's got a slight indentation, but I wouldn't say it's enough to protect the camera. It's really almost flush with the flat back. Still love the case though.

It is a very nice case. I use it with a Nikon Coolpix 520 and it works well. I carry all of its accessories, spare batteries, neck strap and charger in the same bag.

It's a sturdy camera but I'd want a case. I have one for mine basically to keep the screen from getting scratched.

Yes, the battery door is sturdy enough. The flash died on my niece's camera but the battery stayed in place in and out of the water.

Nice sturdy case . There is backpack straps that you can place over shoulder while riding bike. Hope this helps.

The case is sturdy, though it doesn't stand as well as shown. The magnet closure is good, but not great. However, that said, it works well, the camera is not obstructed, the color is good and the construction very good.

Its your basic protection. Ive dropped my phone before using this case and it was fine. The only problem is the camera on the back is lacking that extra protection.

Yes, it's a hard case with zippered sides and a Velcro-attached flap on top. It's very good and totally protects my camera, which I carry with me all the time. I highly recommend it.

I think it's sturdy enough to hold a heavy camera/lens combo like yours. I haven't had any problems with it, but that's an expensive kit you've got and it might be worth it to take a look at brand like Manfrotto. Just saying. After all, your camera gear is only as good as your supporting gear.

sorry, i don't have the case anymore, i gave it away. I had a small olympus elite camera and that case was too small. I ended up getting a nice sturdy case from Best Buy that was relatively iinexpensive. Hope this helps.................Catherine

It is, but mine broke on vacation to the Bahamas. The slider on/off switch at the top wouldn't "catch" anymore. To turn on or off the camera, I had to remove it from the case, turn it on, and slide it back in the case, that is a pain. I would not recommend this case unless it has been updated in the last year.

The case is similar to a wetsuit material. Because the flap is not watertight it would only help if you might get a little rained on. The bag, I don't really use. I keep the camera in a camera backpack in the case.

The case is pretty sturdy. It's made of canvas with a snap closure. I usually don't carry them with the case however. Pretty good quality hand irons as well.
