Is anyone using camera armor? I have a 60D and it is not as well built as the 7D and 5D. it is also smaller in my hand - I use a hand strap permanently - never a neck strap (occasionally a sling). I tend to use my camera a lot and am generally careful but accidents happen.

Does the armor feel right?

Does it really make any difference to protection?

Could it be a moisture trap?

Does it interfere with use?

I am looking at the following

Hmmm, never heard of it before. Looked at your site and then went to B&H Photo in NY and priced it there: $29.95 but discontinued

I like the concept both for the protection and that the added thickness of the silicon skin should enlarge the grip. Having a fairly large hand, that is always appreciated.

But nothing is shown for my Pentax, sorry to say.

I understand there are two types - one has more grip than the other.

I don't think they make memory cards for Petax any more, do they? Wink

On first glance I'd say it would feel clunky (but then I don't even like phone covers, so what do I know?).

I agree about the concern re: the feel. On the other hand there is no way I would have an iPhone or similar withnout a thick industrial rubber coating - I drop my phone all the time.
