Thanks to this cover I have been able to throw my slr in my purse or diaper bag. It's been a year now and my camera is scratch free. I am able to take my camera with me everywhere without a bulky camera bag.

I bought this for a trip where I didn't want to lug my everyday camera bag everywhere. I coupled it with two lens wraps for a wide prime and a long zoom, and thought I could use a small slim bag for them. It worked but just barely. I guess it would depend on the bag you'd use it with. If you are just bringing your camera and kit lens, it would be great. If you are trying to bring some extras, depending on what bag you use, it could just end up being a jumble. I hope to use this in my everyday bag in an effort to take more pictures each day. Also nice if you are walking around places -- if photography is not allowed, just wrap it up and the staff should leave you alone.

As for size, it just barely fits on my Canon t1i with 18-55mm kit lens. I actually felt a few times like I wouldn't get it on. Perhaps it will stretch a bit with use. However, there is no chance of getting it on with any other lens, and doubtful if you had a hood reversed on the kit lens. But once it is on, it feels pretty safe.
