Summary: perfect accesory

Comment: i have used my camara without the silicon cover, even when it is shockproof it got some scratches.
after using the clear cover I felt more confortable using it. i highly recommed the use.

Summary: Very nice cover

Comment: Fits camera just right and everything functions properly, but it is diffcult to read labels on buttons.

Summary: Good value

Comment: Silicon skin works well at protecting my 1030 SW. I carry the camera in my pocket all the time so protection is important. It blocks access to film and battery ports as well as the connection port but allows access to all the controls. It is easy to remove and reinstall. I would buy it again, but since the shipping was 4 times the cost I would find another merchant to purchase it from.

Summary: Excellent option

Comment: This is a great product. It has a tacky feel which makes the camera easy to grip even with wet hands. If you lay the camera down, the case is just thick enough to hold it off the surface. It protects the the finish of the camera during normal use. It is easy to peel it back to get at the battery and card.

Summary: ESSENTIAL for surfing with the Olympus camera

Comment: If you surf with the Olympus, you MUST get this skin to protect your investment.

I surfed with the first Olympus 1030sw and kept it my my trunks pocket. The USB door came open and it flooded late in the first week of use on a surf trip to Nicaragua. Say goodbye to $350 for the camera.

I bought another Olympus 1030sw, same model to replace it, and the skin keeps the USB and battery/card doors from coming open. Best eleven bucks you can spend, saves you from buying a new camera!!!
