Olympus Protective Skin for 1030sw

2008-06-07
Overall good, but needs to be removed for changing for access to memory card and battery, as well as USB port. Minor inconveniences.

Great Product (Some Modification Necessary)

2008-05-26
As a member of the US Armed Forces I'm all about putting my equipment through wet, dirty, cold, and generally hellacious conditions - enter the 1030SW, the only camera I've found that can take the kind of beating my profession delivers and still come back for more. The silicon case is an excellent accessory; the camera is easier to handle when wet, even more damage resistant, and the added protection is inexpensive.

Unfortunately, as noted in an earlier customer review, the silicon skin prevents the user from accessing the battery/memory compartment and data access port for downloading pictures. Getting the skin on and off and back on again can be a hassle - time for the razor blade (or Exacto knife). Five minutes and a steady hand allow access to the data port, battery compartment, and tripod mounting point, thereby making a marginally flawed product perfect (in my opinion) for its intended purpose: bringing the nearly indestructible 1030SW that much closer to invulnerability.

I sincerely hope that this provides you with useful information and please remember: When in doubt, modify to suit your needs.

Does the job well, but non-camera functions are a challenge.

Why do you want a protective skin on a camera that is built like a mac truck?

The Good:
We got this to help prevent scratching, and it does a good job of that. All camera functions are available with the skin on and easy to use.

The Bad:
Unfortunately whenever you want to charge the camera, or transfer pictures or change the card you pretty much need to remove the entire skin just to do it. Unfortunately for us that is an almost daily exercise. It is cumbersome enough that we have considered not using it on more than one occasion.
