The case is too basic. It has room for the camera and one additional small battery, but with the strap on the camera it becomes difficult to fit everything inside the case. There is no additional pockets, so you'll be unable to use it to carry other stuff, like lenses, charger or cables.
The battery is the same you get with the camera. It charges quickly but it only gives you an hour or less of recording time. I recommend a larger model as your second battery.
Summary: spend your money on some good case with lot of space and a BN-VF714 (2hrs.) or BN-VF733 (5hrs.) battery pack.I bought this bundle for $4.97.
Actually I bought four of them, since S&H was the same whether I bought 1 or 4.
My JVC camcorder uses the same exact battery. (the case did not fit my particular JVC camcorder model, but I knew this prior to purchase).
I have the camcorder cases put to use with some of my other digital imaging products.
(A couple hold MP3 players, plus SD cards, plus batterties and charger. Another holders a palm size camcorder, the other holds my jumpdrives, etc)
The case is rather simplistic, but I was mainly buying this for the inexpensive battery part of the pkg.
