The black BodyGuard Compact CB (Clear Back) from LensCoat is a touch fastened, shock-absorbing neoprene cover that can extend the life of your camera and also maintain its resale value by providing a way to protect it from scratches, dings and bumps. It also serves to keep dust, dirt, fingerprints and other contaminants away from your camera body and lens. The beauty of the BodyGuard CB is that there is a clear back that allows you to maintain contact with most buttons and switches. As a bonus, it can also serve as a noise damper since it will reduce shutter noise.
There are cleverly designed finger access slits on the side that permit you to reach other controls on the camera. Shooting is not an issue since you can either push down on the neoprene or reach the shutter by sliding your finger under the cover. The unit is easily installed or removed especially when you need to change batteries. Access to using your flash and camera strap are never a problem with the BodyGuard.
This model of the BodyGuard Compact CB (Clear Back) is designed to carry a compact D-SLR camera body with lens attached without the optional battery grip installed. This version comes in white and is covered with a subtle pattern of leaves and branches to help camouflage the lens when shooting outdoors.

Comments about LensCoat BodyGuard Compact (Black):
I've got it to protect my camera when some protection is needed. BodyGuard suites my Sony a33 but not as good as it can if it was made particularly for this camera.
Sony a33 doesn't have moving mirror so there is just shutter noise while shooting. BodyGuard muffles up it a little but doesn't reduce it at all.
Well made flexible cover; however, overpriced.
