5 out of 5 stars Canon Body Armorer   August 16, 2009

The armor was easily installed on the EOS Rebel Ti1 Camera I have. It works great and protects the vital parts of the camera. I'm througly satisfied with
the product. I have body armor on other cameras I have and found that it is a very good investment. The armor makes the camera easier to grip and if
you should drop it, the armor provides some degree of impact protection.

This product has given me the freedom to carry my Cannon Camera in all conditions without having to use a camera bag. The lens protector is excellent as are the other armor protection elements.


4 out of 5 stars does what it claims & fits a T1i nicely   June 27, 2010
V. Nguyen (somewhere, USA)
The armor does what it claims to do, that is to protect your camera with a rubber coating that gives it a better grip. Just like having a nose mask for your car, this product covers your camera with a nice protective shield. All the buttons function normally, except for covering the button labels. So, get to know your camera's buttons a little before putting on the armor. The lense hood is too small for my Canon 28-135 USM lense. The only surprise was that I have to remove the base covering to replace the battery. I'm thinking of buying a second one for future use because i plan to keep my T1i for a long time. I give it 4 stars because it's not tight fitting and you have to adjust it a little on occasion.


4 out of 5 stars Effective Protection For Your Investment   February 12, 2010

The MADE Camera Armor for the Canon 450D (XSI) works very well for protecting your camera from light bumps and scratches. It does so without adding very much bulk to the camera. The armor comes in 4 pieces:

(1) a piece for protecting the body of the camera
(2) a piece for protecting the lens
(3) a piece for protecting the base of the camera - This piece extends the tripod screw so you can use a tripod with your camera even with the armor on.
(4) LCD screen protector.

Pros
----
- Protects Camera
The armor not only protects your camera from light bumps and scratches, it will shield your camera from fingerprints, smudges, dirt, and other undesirables.

- Improves Grip
The texture of the silicone also helps to greatly improve your grip on the camera so you can have a secure and firm hold on the camera.

- Protects Lens
The armor covers the lens as well. A couple of people noted that the lens protection is flawed because it makes changing lenses very hard or impossible. The manufacturer has since fixed the issue; I don't find it a problem to change lenses.

- Tethers Lens Cap
The lens cap can be tethered to the armor. This thoughtful feature makes removing and replacing the lens cap a snap!

Cons
----
- Dust Magnet
The affinity of the armor to dust is an issue intrinsic to silicone skins. The armor can become quite unsightly unless you keep it relatively free of dust.

- Slightly Irregular
This is a quibble - but I find that certain parts of the armor, particularly around the LCD screen and the base of the armor, a little irregular. The covering around the LCD skin is slightly crooked. There are gaps between the base piece of the armor and main piece covering the camera body.

- Lens Change A Hassle
It can be a hassle to move the lens protection from one lens to another. One solution might be to use lens hoods (such as this one) for all your lenses and omit the armor for the lens altogether.

---
Despite a few minor issues, the MADE Camera Armor for the Canon 450D (XSI) is definitely worth consideration. It is relatively inexpensive and it will help to protect your investment to give you peace of mind. Recommended.

Nice product, hope it will save my camera if I ever drop it. It was easy to install and does not block any functions.
