This was a birthday gift from my wife. It protects the front and back of our Sony W-200 point-n-shoot (can't imagine how it would damage the LCD screen unless there was a small pebble next to it), secured with a screw into the tripod socket. Fortunately, the camera's battery and memory card compartment is on the side, so I don't have to unscrew the case every time I change the battery/card. The tripod feature is inch long feet that extend from the bottom. The main thing I've used it for is to stabilize the camera for available light night shots when manual exposures are too long to hand hold.

As a guy, I like that the camera still fits into my pants pocket with the case on. For the price, we feel this case/mini-tripod is a great value.

I ordered this after reading a magazine review on cool new tech ideas. imho, it's a great idea and snazzy design, but I had in my mind that it would provide better protection.

I believe the wrapper would only protect a camera from body scratches. The non-tripod version might be fine for exactly that purpose - some additional protection if you're inclined to lay your camera down on a counter at home, etc. The tripod itself isn't substantial enough for anything other than the occasional impromptu group shot, where you set the timer and zip over to join your friends.

Essentially, aside from an occasional afternoon when you tuck a camera in your pocket, cameras of all sizes are precision instruments & require protection. This clever wrap isn't a substitute for a protective case w/ a little portable tripod tucked inside. Obviously, your use and needs may vary!

I have used this camera wrap for over a year now and it protects my camera very well. I am always on the go and because the wrap is attached to the camera, I won't forget to protect my camera. The only downside is you need a coin of some sort to screw the camera wrap on and off your camera. So if you're in a rush to download or can't find a coin, you might be in a bind. I recommend this for on the go moms!

I was excited about a lightweight wrap (so I wouldn't have to figure out where to put the case while I took pictures) with a built-in tripod, and the product is fine, but unfortunately not compatible with my new camera that has its tripod socket all the way to one side - would work fine with cameras with tripod socket more in the center.

I am definitely a gadget guy. I purchased the Olympus stylus 9000 and was exploring various cases when I came across this item. I wasn't sure if it would fit the camera but thought I would order it and give it a shot. It fits great and attached easily. I really like the tripod being attached directly to the camera and it doesn't look out of place but looks like it is part of the camera and very cool when the legs are extended. There is some level of adjustment in the front leg so it is quite useful to give some varience to adjust the camera as opposed to just laying the camera on a flat surface to get a picture. I have ofetn carried bulkier tripods with me and almost never used them. This is convenient and I think I will get more use out of this tripod for steading low light and night shots. The velcro closes securely and it really does adapt to the shape of the camera.
Overall, it turned out to be a better product than I expected and I will get quite a bit of use from it. No more trying to figure out where I am going to put the case when taking shots!

I just received this and used it yesterday. When I opened it up, I discovered that 1/2 of my camera's screen had been really scratched up. I tested the material and I'm reasonably sure that it's not the neoprene that caused the scratches. Rather, it's more likely that something else scratched the screen through the wrapper. And that means I need to put my camera in a case to protect it - which is precisely what I bought this to avoid.

It's a really great idea but just doesn't cut it.
