BOVKE Silicone Camera Case for Canon PowerShot SX740 / SX730 – Soft Rubber Sleeve with Removable Lens Cover (Mist White Pink)

If you’ve got a Canon PowerShot SX740 or SX730, a silicone camera case is one of those small accessories that can quietly save you from the everyday “oops” moments. This BOVKE cover is designed to fit the camera’s shape and controls, adding an extra layer for knocks, bumps and general handling—while still keeping the case easy to take on and off.

The essentials

This is a case only. The camera and any other accessories are not included. The cover itself is a soft silicone/rubber sleeve type case, made to be dust-resistant and to help guard against scratches and minor impact. It also includes a detachable lens cover, which matters because it lets you protect the lens when the camera’s not in use.

In day-to-day terms, it’s aimed at people who carry their camera around—on trips, commutes, days out—where it ends up rubbing against a bag lining, keys, or general clutter. The removable lens cover gives you a bit more peace of mind than relying purely on how you store the camera.

What stands out in use

The pitch here isn’t “armour” or heavy-duty protection—it’s practical, grippy protection with a form-fitted feel. The case is described as being moulded to match the PowerShot SX740/SX730, including access to areas like the buttons and charging port. That’s the sort of detail that usually makes the difference between something that looks good on a shelf and something you’ll actually keep on the camera.

You also get a better handling grip: the silicone sleeve is meant to be easy to grab, which can help if you’re shooting in changeable weather or simply want a more comfortable hold.

One small limitation to keep in mind: because it’s a soft sleeve, it’s mainly for bumps, drops and scuffs in everyday situations rather than for high-impact protection. If your use involves rough handling or you routinely throw camera gear into the same space as heavier equipment, you may want to consider a more protective style of case.

Durability and protection (what you can reasonably expect)

The case is positioned as being made from durable silicone, with claims that it’s dustproof, scratchproof, shockproof and non-slip. Over the life of an accessory like this, the main benefits tend to come from: - reducing surface scratches from contact and friction - cushioning minor impacts - keeping the camera more stable in-hand thanks to the non-slip feel - keeping the lens covered with the detachable lens cover

That said, “shockproof” is always a relative term. On paper, the intention is clear: add an extra layer so you’re less worried about small accidents. Just don’t treat it as a replacement for careful storage.

Fit and access: the bits that matter

This cover is described as easy to install and uninstall, and it’s designed around the SX740/SX730 layout—so you’re not expected to remove the case just to access important controls. There’s also the choice of using the camera with the lens cover fitted, or (if you prefer) using it without the lens cover.

It suits you best if you value a case that stays out of the way while you’re actually shooting. If you’re the type who wants every last millimetre of protection and a hard-shell approach, you might find this style more “everyday comfort” than “serious gear bunker”.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)

It makes sense if you: - want a lightweight, soft cover for the Canon PowerShot SX740/SX730 - carry your camera in a bag and want extra scratch protection - like the idea of a lens cover you can detach when you’re ready to shoot - prefer something easy to remove and re-fit

You may want to skip it if you: - need a tougher, hard-shell or fully impact-focused solution - frequently store the camera in a way that exposes it to stronger forces than typical bag wear - want a “case + storage” system (this is described as case only, so don’t expect a full kit)

Mini FAQ

Does this come with the camera?

No. It’s case only, so the Canon PowerShot SX740/SX730 and accessories are not included.

Is the lens cover permanently attached?

No. The description says the lens cover is detachable, so you can use the camera with it on, or without it.

Will it block access to controls and charging?

The case is described as moulded to match the camera, including the charging port and buttons, so it’s intended to keep access usable without removing the cover.

Is it meant for heavy protection?

It’s aimed at everyday protection—dust/scratch reduction and cushioning for knocks. It may not be the best match if you’re after maximum protection for rough impacts.

Is it comfortable to hold?

It’s described as soft and lightweight, and the non-slip texture is meant to make it easier to grab.

Final verdict

This BOVKE silicone sleeve is a sensible add-on if your main goal is extra day-to-day protection for a Canon PowerShot SX740 or SX730, especially for scratch and scuff resistance in normal carry-around use. The removable lens cover is a practical touch, and the fitted design around controls and the charging port should make it easy to live with.

Just keep expectations realistic: it’s a soft cover, not a substitute for careful storage or a tougher protective case if your environment is harsh. If you’re after lightweight protection you’ll actually use, it’s worth considering, if you want maximum impact shielding, you may need a more robust solution instead.
