Broken WP-DC28 case latch - Got a broken case to sell?

[Jax]

A friend had the latch break on his WP-DC28 (case for the canon G10)

I think the Canon cases for G-9-10-11-12 have the same latches . . . does anyone have a case they are not using?

Hoping to find something he can part out . . . .

Last year I bought a replacement latch (buckle) and 'O' rings from Canon. I don't have a link, but you can try:

Been there done that.

After installing the new latch ALWAYS close the housing with hand pressure then close the latch. Using the latch at the point the O ring seats puts too much pressure on the latch.

I still have an old G7 case laying around or is that too different? The button springs are shot.
