Falling Knife Price: tiny AmazonBasics Case for $1.14
This has now become a textbook “falling knife price”, it has been steadily dripping downwards. The semi-ironic meme of 2015 of this blog, the tiny AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case is now down to $1.14 at Amazon by Amazon itself with a limit of 90 per customer. Still part of the Add-On program (must place $25+ order to purchase it regardless of Prime status)… More details on this small case on our earlier semi-long post…

Manfrotto Bella Shoulder Bag: $10 to $15 (shipping depends)
They spell it with one “l”, so it’s probably not a Bela Lugosi homage, but let’s get back on track before this runs out of control completely. There are various sales of the Manfrotto Bella shoulder bags. Prices and shipping are intertwined in these, so it depends which one may work better for you. Here we geaux:
+ Manfrotto Bella II charcoal/brown (they call the color “bungee cord”) for $10 + shipping at B&H Photo
+ free shipping if your order total is $49+ – save it for future purchase or get five of these to get free shippings
+ Manfortto Bella II black for $13 with free shipping for Prime members at Amazon.com (seller is Roberts LP, fulfilled by Amazon herself, limit 30)
+ non-Prime members free shipping with $35+ order (which you get to if buy three of these)

In-stock nao: Lowepro DroneGuard bags for DJI, Parrot, GoPro, etc
Lowepro has a new line of DroneGuard cases and backpacks that as their name suggests, are designed for drones/quadcopters in mind. They have specific models for DJI, Parrot, GoPros and more. All six models are in-stock and ready to ship from Adorama, with prices ranging from $30 to $150. All but the $30 model get free shipping.
Case Logic TBC-302 camera case for $3.19 w/free s&h for all {limit 3}
To average down the four figure prices of the all-new Zeiss Milvus lenses, we have the return of the “$5 Gadget”. For $3.19 with free shipping for all, you can get the black Case Logic TBC-302 camera case, sold and shipped by Amazon itself in frustration-free packaging (typically ships in sturdy cardboard box which you can re-use for other projects). You don’t have to be a Prime member to get free shipping on this one. Limit three per customer. Only this color scheme is on sale.
In yet another twist of the Amazon free shipping labyrinth, this is not eligible for Prime shipping benefits, even though it is sold and shipped by Amazon, and it ships for FREE. And it is not part of the Add-On program. Amazon needs to maintain a live flowchart to help us keep track of the various free shipping twists 🙂
Eagled-eyed readers may have noticed a familiarity with the case. Indeed, it looks very very similar to the previously mentioned AmazonBasics tiny case, which is now down to $1.80. This is part of the Add-On program, so you must place a $25+ order to buy it (regardless of Prime status). I don’t have the Case Logic version, but I have the AmazonBasics case, and it is very small (eg for small/thin P&S digital cameras; see earlier long post). At this rate, I will soon be launching the brand new “$5 Camera Case blog” 🙂

Details on the small $1.99 AmazonBasics camera bag
This is the update that was promised, the previously mentioned small AmazonBasics camera bag, currently going for $1.99 (limit 90, part of the Add-On program) has arrived. It is indeed a small bag, for small thin P&S cameras. Most older P&S cameras are probably too thick or too big to fit. It is perhaps best suited if you want to store memory cards, flash drives, small camera remote controls and other small accessories and things you don’t want to lose – in their own padded zippered bag.
( this turned into a long post, more after the break )
AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case drops to $2.09
The small AmazonBasics Compact Camera Case was going for $2.57 when we mentioned it last week. As of the time of writing, it has dropped to $2.09, and Amazon has removed the typical limit of 30 per customer. You can buy up to 90 of these per shopping cart. It is still part of the Add-On program, so you need to place an order of $25+ in physical goods shipped/fulfilled by Amazon, otherwise the shopping cart won’t let you buy it. I am also keeping an eye towards the ever-increasing number of other AmazonBasics camera bags in case they too get discounted.
PS: for more on the Add-On program and such, check the longer post of last week. Because if I try to summarize it, I will end up writing an even longer post 🙂
PS2: I added one of these to my last Amazon order so I can get a better feel of its actual physical size. I will post another post after it arrives… UPDATE: here is the update that was promised, it turned into a long filibustery description…

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.
