Is the camera opening covered with a protective layer, or is it left wide open to the elements?

Open to the elements. But because of case the lenses are protected from impact and/or scratches. Still pleased with case.

It is open to the elements, but the case backing is substantially thick to protect from any knocks or drops.

Left wide open, only cover is screen and speaker. Leaves camera lens and flash open

Good question, it's actually left wide open, the case gives about an 1/8 of an inch around it.

It has a screen protector attached. It also covers the cameras front and back

The case is open where the camera is. There is a raised ridge, so if you lay it on the back the camera does not touch any surfaces.

It's got some kind of sticky stuff on the surface. You peal off the protective cover and attach to the camera. So far it is working just fine and is attached quite firmly.

It is described as "dust and splash resistant". It does not affect the weather sealing of the camera.

No, the rear camera is open, however there is a slight raised edge around the camera that does a good job protecting it, if it were to drop.

Hi,As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate.Hope this helps.

It goes completely inside the camera's battery chamber. The camera itself is weather-sealed, so there is no need for additional weather sealing on interior components.

It will cover just enough of the camera from the rain. Therefore, it should not affect the camera's viewfinder in any way. Just make sure it's on the proper way.

Yes. There's a opening at the bottom for the button, and a small opening at the top for the ear speaker. The opening are not exactly as shown in the picture, there are openings. The protector does cover the front facing camera, but I haven't seen any interference or distortion with the camera. Hope this helps

Hello, in response to whether there is an opening for the camera. Yes there is, however when the top cover is folded completely open and back, it covers it. The case is excellent and fits perfectly. Hope this helps?

They are covered. As for shutter like, I'm not sure how you mean. But it's little flaps that cover them.

Yes, it is exposed. The case rises up to meet the edge of the circle of the camera.

I don't think the box is designed to protect from the elements, your camera itself should be safe in the elements with or without the box. the box is designed to protect your camera from thieves.

Yes, there is a opening on the backside for the camera and I have had no issues with taking photos

The lens is covered when you turn the camera off, and opens when you turn it on.
