This skin is supposedly custom fit to the optio w30. But it isnt. I had to cut it to fit right, and the indentations for the controls are still not quite in the right place. Frustrating because bythe time I pay shipping to get it and then again to return it, the cost is increased quite a bit, which is why I decided to cut it and be frustrated with it rather than return it.

The picture and the product that you receive are not the same. The packaging states that it is "exclusively for Pentax Optio WP and Option WPi digital Cameras".

Cutouts and buttons do not line up.

I didn't have any of the problems that other reviewers had. The cutouts lined up with the screen and the microphone/speaker, the buttons are useable through the skin, and the power button lined up with the bump in the skin for that.

I did use a scissors to cut a hole in the bottom for the tripod bolt to go through, but other than that, it's plug and play.

I've used this for 3 years now without any wear or tear, but it has a stickyness that tends to attract Dust and dirt.

The texture and idea is great. The quality and ability to stand up to the littlest of use

is really disappointing. It ripped and tore and was not usable within a very short time.

I would not purchase this again .. without an extended warranty :)

I use my Pentax Optio 30 while sea kayaking, and with this on my camera, I can easily grip it and access the controls even while wearing neoprene gloves. And although the skin is a snug fit, it's easy to put on and take off.

Others have complained that the skin did not fit. Maybe they were sent the wrong item. What I was sent fits great. As a plus they did not charge a shipping fee. Given the other comments, I felt it necessary to make a video. Sorry about the lighting. Skin fits. Skin does not interfere with function of camera in any way. You must remove or peal back the skin to open the ports. I would buy again from the vendor.
