Fits camera well and made out of thick, flexible silicone that feels like it'll last for a while. My only quirks about the product is that there are no precut holes for the battery flip door OR for the usb port. This means that you have to take the case off EVERY time you need to charge up the battery or want to connect the usb cable. A bit annoying, but otherwise a quality product.

I like the idea of the silicone cover so that I can put my camera in my bag without it getting scratched and I do not have to use another case for the camera. The only thing I have to say is a pain with this cover is that when you want to change the battery or plug it into the computer you have to remove the silicone skin. Overall it is not bad, after all other cameras do not even have this option.

This product is a great idea and a good investment to protect your camera but it would be nice if the material they used didn't pick up every piece of sand or lint or cat hair.

I purchased this case to go on my 790. We spent a week in Puerto Rico, where I had it in and out of the water. While it kept my 790 safe and scratch free, the case yellowed and became dingy even after rinsing with clean water. I don't know if I will continue to use it, as it makes my camera look old and disgusting.

I'm not sure why the only option is clear... it seems that a non-opaque skin would provide the same protection, but not look ugly after use.

Used this recently on a float trip in Montana... my husband and I both have this product for our cameras... after about three hours in and out of the river, the silicone changed color to a nasty yellowish green. It definitely gave our cameras that added protection that we wanted - but the stained color has remained - even after many attempts to clean & wash...

Really does a nice job of protecting my 850 SW.

Cons:
- You have to remove it to get to the battery/memory card and USB slots
- It picks up cat hair very easily

Still very worth it.

For such a well built camera, this is icing on the proverbial cake. The camera will still work regardless of what you do to it (more or less), but this protects the casing from dings and scratches which is all you will need with this camera. The wrap is easy to put on and take off for charging the battery or rinsing the camera per the instructions. The wrap is also super light weight and not at all bulky so that you can still keep it in your pocket, and it gives the shock protection just a little boost to make this, the last point and shoot camera you will ever buy, looking nice as long as you own it.

This is a great idea to help protect your Olympus Sylus camera. It will help prolong the life of yor camera without making it too bulky.

There is not opening area for the Battery compartment or for the USB connections. You need to take it complete out before changing battery or downloading your pictures.

Package arrived timely.
Product very useful and help holding camera from slipping off hand. Easy to wipe off dust, shield camera from scratches as intended.
