I bought one when I first purchased my camera. It has save it many times. It fits well around the basic camera body. I have a Vertical Grip, so I can't use all ofnthe supplied parts.

This is my second body armor as the first one tore and the price on this was too good to pass and easier than trying to repair the other.

Great protection for my camera, especially on vacation trips!

I ordered camera armor for my Rebel XSi based on my previous experience with my Rebel XT which proved very satisfactory. However, with the XSi the fit leaves something to be desired, especially the hokey bottom covering which does not integrate well with the rest of body. I returned the XSi armor because of the poor fit.

I bought this to protect my camera from wear. It fits about like I expected, reasonably, but interferes a bit with lens changing. It does give me a better grip on the camera. I am concerned that debris will get trapped between the LCD and the protector, and scratch it.

Primary use: LCD protection because the stick-n peel protectors aren't as effective. A scratched/broken LCD can be a real drag and an occasional $30 protection unit is _WELL_ worth the price.

The 'Good': LCD protection is snug with the skin on it.

The 'Meh': The skin will protect the body from a scrape or two.

The 'Bad':
1. Skin needs to be a little tighter
2. Hole for lens needs to be a hair wider so not to interfere with lens.
3. Holes around sensor can interfere if not seated properly.
4. Lens protector is worthless, keep it off.
5. Expensive

Would I buy it again? Yes.
+But if I could find a better alternative or just a solid LCD plastic protector I'd go with that. Don't expect the armor to protect your camera from a drop.

I recentely bought this product for my new rebel xsi. It came with good instrustions for putting it on, but could of done it without them. There is a annoying hard cover thing on the bottom that likes to fall out. It is very hard to change lenses, the rubber gets pinched into the ring so it wont turn all the way. It is also very loose for a camera skin. I would not recomend, i would recomend the belkin device snug it pro, B&H sells it for [$]. I bought it and like it so much more and it's cheaper.

The camera armor is great! It was easy to put on and really enhances the grip of the camera. Controls are still readily accessible. I mainly purchsed the armor for the polycarbonate cover for the lcd screen, and for that reason alone it is worth it. I also like the improved grip.

I have discovered two drawbacks. 1) It does make the battery compartment slightly more difficult to access. But this is no big deal, you simply have to remove the bottom portion of the armor. 2) Slightly more serious is that it takes a little practice to become adept at changing lenses without the armor getting in the way. At first this can be discouraging, but once you get the hang of slipping the bottom of the lens into the armor and stretching the armor around the flash up to allow the top of the lens to slide in, it is not a big deal. I wouldn't let this keep me from buying it.

So, if you are tired of peel of lcd protectors and want to improve the grip of your camera, get this armor.
