Lowepro LP36899-PWW Slingshot Edge Case (250 AW) for compact camera gear
Product description
The essentials
If you like the idea of having your camera and day-to-day carry together, this Lowepro LP36899-PWW Slingshot Edge Case is built around that “grab-and-go” sling approach. It’s designed to fit a compact DSLR setup with an attached lens, plus room for extra essentials like a small tablet, smartphone, headphones and smaller personal items.
On paper, it’s the kind of case/bag that prioritises movement over bulk: a slim, modern sling design, a padded back pad for comfort, and a stability strap to help it stay put while you’re walking about. It’s not trying to be a big expedition pack—more of a lean photo sling that still thinks about protection.
What it’s made to carry
The layout is geared towards mixed gear rather than just camera bodies. You get a divider system (fully adjustable and padded) for the photo side, and a separate storage zone that’s intended for personal carry.
For the photo part, it’s aimed at a compact DSLR with an attached lens (the example given is a Canon Rebel T6i with an 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6). There’s also mention of space for an extra lens and a flash, which is useful if you want to bring more than “one lens only”.
For the non-camera side, there’s a roomy open zone that can hold things like: - smartphone, headphones, wallet, keys - small accessories (the description also mentions sunglasses)
And importantly, there’s a separate tablet pocket where a cradle-style design (“CradleFit”) is meant to help keep a tablet safe from impact. If you regularly carry an iPad mini-sized device alongside your camera gear, this is clearly trying to fit that rhythm.
Key takeaways: protection and carry comfort
Protection is a big part of the appeal here. The case includes a built-in “All Weather AW Cover”, which suggests it’s meant to help shield your kit when conditions turn a bit unpredictable.
The carry concept is also practical. The design is described as incredibly slim, and the inclusion of a stability strap is the kind of detail that matters when you’re moving around—especially if you’ve ever had a sling shift out of place mid-walk.
One sensible limitation to keep in mind: because it’s a compact, slim sling, it’s not the sort of carry that’s likely to suit oversized “everything at once” camera setups. It’s more about keeping things streamlined.

Who it suits (and who should be cautious)
It makes sense if you want a sling that can cover both photo gear and everyday items in one go. You’ll like it if you frequently shoot with a compact DSLR setup, carry an extra lens and flash occasionally, and you’re also the type of person who likes to have a phone, headphones and small essentials within easy reach.
It might not be a great match if your main priority is maximum capacity or lots of spare space for multiple large accessories. The “lean, sleek” positioning is doing the heavy lifting here, so if your kit is bulky or you often carry more gear than fits into a compact arrangement, you may find it restrictive.
Getting the most from it (practical example)
Imagine a normal day out: you attach your lens to your compact DSLR and keep the rest of your “personal kit” close. With the padded, adjustable divider system, you can shape the interior for your camera, then leave space for the extra lens and flash.
For the tablet and everyday carry, the separate tablet pocket is intended for impact protection, while the open personal zone is there for the things you’ll actually reach for while walking—smartphone, headphones, keys and wallet. The built-in All Weather AW Cover is a useful extra if you’re heading out in changeable UK weather.
Is it worth it?
This Lowepro LP36899-PWW is worth considering if you want a compact sling-style carry for a compact DSLR with an attached lens, plus extra photo items and small personal essentials—without turning your day out into a heavy bag routine. The adjustable padded dividers, separate tablet pocket and All Weather AW Cover are all aligned with that “photo + life” use case.
You may want to skip it if your setup needs more space than a slim sling can realistically provide, or if you’re carrying larger/bulkier gear that doesn’t match the compact DSLR-with-attached-lens approach.
