Best soft case for SD990?

I know I saw recommendations for carrying cases in the past but I cannot seem to find any now. Most important, of course, is that I want protection for my camera. It would be nice if the case had room for an extra memory card and/or battery but I want something fairly compact. Any help would be appreciated.

I got a Tamrac 3852; originally I used it for my SD790, but the SD990 fits in just fine. Only thing missing is space for the extras you mention.

I attach the camera's wrist strap to one of the catches for the case's neck strap, that lets me carry it in the case or take it out and have it ready for use. Bear in mind that this is just a thin "suede" cushion to protect the camera from minor bumps and scratches. It does have a belt loop but I don't find that a desirable place to carry a camera. The flap closure is a magnetic "snap," so this is really a very light-use case; not what you want for rock-climbing or waterboarding, um I mean "surfing."

Anita, the Lowepro "10" series is an excellent fit and protection for the SD990. I use the Ridge 10 for mine and it has a good secure zipper, padded inner pocket and a small outer velcro pocket for memory card or extra battery. Lowepro also makes a couple other styles in the 10 series like the spectrum 10 which is more "colorful" and a slight bit more thin. Lowepro cases can be found almost anywhere and the Ridge 10 goes for about $10. Here's a link to Amazon.com to show you colors and what they look like. I like mine and use it all the time.

Thanks for the answers. Steve, as always, your advice is invaluable. Special thanks. I'll be buying the camera and case from Amazon this weekend.
