4.0 out of 5 stars Quality cover, odd quirks, February 2, 2010

This review is from: Skin, Clear Silicon Skin for LS-10 (Electronics)

As a silicone cover, this item is pretty much as advertised.

It's a cleanly molded, milky-clear silicone case that fits fairly well over the Olympus LS10. There are cuts for the two built-in mics, the SD/line out ports, the volume knob, recording level knob, mic input, line input, remote control, and the DC in line.

The front controls are molded into the silicone case which makes pressing the buttons easier than without the case.

No directions come with the cover, which leaves you with a bit of a mystery regarding how to put the LS10 into the cover. I put the LS10 into the case through the LCD window, then pulled the rest of the cover over the microphones.

As other reviewers have stated, the real weakness of this case is that the power/keylock slider as well as the low-cut and mic amp sliders are covered by silicone on the case. The silicone is molded in such a way as to allow these sliders to be actuated using your fingers, but not without quite a bit of effort.

You might want to think about taking an x-acto knife to the slider areas yourself. Just remember to remove the LS10 from the case before doing so!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective, with minor design flaw, September 14, 2009

Works great to protect the case and still allow use of most controls. Cover is not very thick, so extent of shock or drop protection is uncertain. Obviously not intended for drop protection, but clearly better than exposed case.
Only issue is access to the "on/off" switch. Since this switch is a slide switch that must be held for an extended period to power down, it is difficult to manipulate through the silicon. Moving the slide requires using fingernail which feels like risk to pierce the cover. Other controls work well. Offers no protection to the screen, which is obviously the most vulnerable portion of the unit, so judge utility accordingly. Uncovered screen offers good visibility, but unprotected.
