Customer Review: Not worth the trouble
Summary: 2 Stars
Camera Armor is a rubber body glove designed to protect the Nikon D80 from impacts and scrapes. It includes a rubber shield to protect the front of one lens as well as a plastic shield for your LCD screen.
Installation of the armor is pretty simple. You need to remove the neck strap to put it on but that is easy enough. After you play with it enough to get it solidly in place, the rubber fits the camera snugly with no bulges. It also stayed solidly in place and was not prone to random movement. Most of the controls are left exposed but a number of buttons are covered to improve the structural integrity of the armor. These buttons are articulated into the armor and the label is likewise molded into the rubber button. The problem is that the label molded into the armor is black-on-black whereas your camera has white lettering against the black button for far superior ease of reading. Some of the controls are also too close to the edge of the rubber so it is not as easy or comfortable to use them. The armor also encroaches on the space that tripods attach to and many tripods will no longer have room to mount properly if the armor is on.
Once the camera armor is on, you'll finally get an idea of how much protection it offers. Unfortunately, the product description badly overstates the case. On a positive note, it should provide excellent resistance to scratches. The rubber armor should also provide small protection from impact but you need to be realistic about this. Any hard impact against rock or concrete will pose just as much chance of major damage as a camera would face without the Camera Armor.
The lens protector is similarly limited. Once on, it will completely block the threads a lens hood attaches to and so you will be completely unable to use one. Getting filters on and off will be very difficult with this on and even adjusting a circular polarizer is awkward.
In summary, Camera Armor offers legitimate protection from scratches. If this is important to you, then you may find value here. In return, you will be forced to give up the use of filters, lens hoods, ease of use for your camera, and most likely the ability to use a tripod. For most photographers, this is an unacceptable level of compromise.
