I read a couple reviews that said this case is to small for the Canon PowerShot SD870IS But I'm here to say its not.. It is a perfect fit..
if your buying a Canon camera this is the case you should buy
AND YES IT FITS THE Canon PowerShot SD870IS

I bought this to go with my Canon SD870 IS - just as the item description stated. I don't think that this case is actually meant for that model though because although the camera fits inside of the case, it is very challenging to close it. Pushing it in and out is cumbersome and takes a while.

Not the greatest case ever for the SD870, but it is a nice case and would probably work great for the model it was made for.

I got this camera case because it wasn't too bulky and easy to carry in my purse. The leather is sturdy and protects the camera well, especially from a clumsy husband. No extra room for other storage, but that would require a bulkier load to carry which I didn't want.

I purchased this case for a Canon PowerShot SD950. Upon receipt it was a very tight fit as the case is made of very stiff leather. I had to work and crush the leather sides and flap to make the camera slide in and out more easily.

The case flap secures with a magnetic button catch. If the catch is not properly closed, the leather case is just tight enough and the leather flap is just stiff enough that the camera will probably not fall out. Closing the flap is a bit tight; however the trick is to push on the metal Canon logo on the flap to stretch the flap again. You will hear a fairly load click as the magnetic catch is engaged.

Personally, I prefer velcro catches as they are idiot proof (no matter what the alignment is the flap is still secured; unfortunately velcro is a bit noisy. )

Re noise. The magnetic catch is much louder on this case than the corresponding Casio case which I also reviewed.

Imagine, after 6 months of waiting you have finally gotten a reservation at the elite 'Le Chat qui Rit' French restaurant where you intend to propose to your girlfriend. After waiting two hours for the entree, it finally is wheeled up on a silver cart. You want to take a picture of your delighted, soon to be fiancee as the waiter removes the cover to reveal the $500 25 gram portion of "Route Tuent". You discreetly slide your Canon camera out of the pocket of your running shorts and open the flap. Click! The patrons at the other table look up at you, sneer 'gauche'; your girlfriend is startled, then annoyed. The moment is lost; the hope of eternal matrimonial bliss is shattered forever. Quiet matters.

This is a great case, and it fits perfectly with the Canon SD870. It comes with a matching leather strap if you want to replace the one packaged with the camera.
