Good but not perfect ![]()
While the wrap is a decent enough product and for the most part well made, I have a few reservations when fitted to my Panasonic TZ7.
Flaws:
Neoprene is not as thick as you think it will be.
The open sides leave the camera exposed to grit and dust to scratch the case and large screen on the back of the camera.
The black plastic bar across the bottom of the camera has no padding between it and the camera so could mark the bottom of the camera.
The metal hinges between plastic bar and neoprene can touch the bodywork again potentially marking the case of the camera and if coming into contact with the glass screen on the back again can chip the lower edges.
Care needs to be taken when pushing on the velcro to close it as it is directly over the automatic lens cover of some cameras which may damage these flimsy shutters, if fitted the other way, putting pressure on the screen at the back.
I feel most standard cases will give better protection without these flaws and if they are an issue you should consider this route.
Good Points:
If you want something to protect the camera from the occasional (small) bump and surface scrapes to the front and back surfaces I feel this performs reasonably well as it is convenient, relatively cheap and lightweight.
For me the flaws far outweigh the good points and I have removed this product from my camera to prevent this potential damage - at least as long as my camera is under warranty!

Always On Compact Camera Wrap - Quilted Black
I thought there might be a problem using this on a Canon Powershot SX200Is due to the slightly protruding lens but, although it is a bit of a tight fit, the soft padded polypropylene cover and velcro fastening have enough stretch and latitude to keep it secure, a situation which is improving with use. From being protected in my pocket to taking a photo is a minimal action and afterwards the case is already attached to the camera and available. If the screw into the base is left slightly 'off' fully tight the cover can be rotated to one side to give easy access to the camera memory card and battery.

I'm really pleased with this little camera wrap it's a great idea. You don't have to fiddle around trying to get somewhere to put the camera case while taking a picture, just undo the velcro and your ready to shoot.
The only drawback i've found is that I haave to remove the wrap in order to take out my memory card and or batterey. This could just be my camera which is a Fuji, it may be OK with other models. It's not a big problem for me and would not put me off buying or recomending it to someone else.- as I said it's a fantastic little product.

Convienient, easy, makes the camera so much more accessable than a case - and keeps the package small, fantastic.
