AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case for $2.44 [limit 30]

In a new Bag the Tiny Camera Bags installment, the small AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case is on sale again, going for $2.44 (was $2.57) in new condition, with a limit of 30 per customer at Amazon by Amazon herself. This ships in frustration free packaging, which means it may get shipped in the sturdy cardboard box that some furstration-free packaging items ship in. There are conflicting dimensions in the product description, but the pictures tell the story, this is a small bag for Elph-sized cameras or to store small easy to lose accessories or (already protected) memory cards. It has a carabiner clip, and a tiny external zippered pocket.

NOTE: three different sizes are on the product page. The following is a filtered list of the reviews for the compact size only.

There is a however, this item is part of the Amazon Add-ON program, which means you have to place an order of $25+ in order to be allowed to buy it. The restriction applies to all Amazon customers, including Prime members. You can reach $25+ with any combination of eligible physical products that ship from or are fulfilled by Amazon. You can also reach $25+ with ten of these (based on the current price).

Free shipping with a $35+ order for non-Prime members. Prime members need to place a $25+ order because of the Add-On restriction. Add-ON items cannot be purchased if your order total is under $25, even if you are willing to pay for shipping out of your own pocket. The tyranny of the shopping cart 🙂

This is part of the ever-growing line of AmazonBasics camera bags which now includes options for GoPros.
