Chances are you will either love Camera Armor or hate it. The style for the D300 does not provide quite the protection as the D200 model, but this is necessitated by the camera design. There are a couple of frustrating aspects; the rubber covers the mode setting in the digital display, making it awkward to see the current setting. The "flap" on the bottom of the camera can cause problems (covered by other reviewers), but so far I have not had a problem with it. I personally like the Camera Armor in general for two reasons: first, because I have relatively big hands, and the added thickness and non-slip aspect of the rubber makes for a positive grip; and second, because most of my shooting is done outdoors and it does absorb a lot of bumps that would otherwise scratch and potentially damage the camera. The lens hood can be awkward, and be advised that if fully extended it will vignette the photo at wide angle settings (just remember to collapse it at those settings). It does, however, provide a lot of protection for long lenses that tend to whack solid objects. If your photography is done indoors or under gentle conditions, Camera Armor is just a frustration. If you're out in the weather or tend to bang your camera a lot, Camera Armor does provide a good degree of protection for expensive SLRs.

And its worst than expected I must say. I have removed the Armour soon after I have installed it. I just couldn't see what protection or benefit i would get out of it. The vital parts of the camera are still exposed and unprotected and it just makes it bulkier and unnecessary to put. Although the price is more reasonable now, I got mine for about $50!

so I waited for the camera armor to be in stock for the Nikon D300 forquite some time. I can honestly say I am not impressed with this product and actually do not use. For me the fit on the camera was not that great and overall look and feel was just average. It does make some of the function buttons on the front of the camera hard to access. I do think it would do a decent job of protecting the camera against impact so I might use it if I go hiking....then again maybe not. Others may like the look and feel but I for one was not impressed.
