Looks stupid, but works well to protect still camera from rain.  not quite as good for video cam.
will not go to Costa Rica or Panama without it

It looks really great protection wise, it is a little bulky for my liking and a little loose and the bottom of the camera but it does its job.

It's cute and great for covering up and protecting the camera however I think it could be a bit better designed since you literally have to unsnap and remove a portion of it to be able to take pictures, which then makes you have to put that piece somewhere safe to make sure they don't get lost.

Meh. You could take an old thick sock, cut off the last five inches and use that to cover your camera's lens too. The best answer? Unplug the camera. Then you could also put the camera into the sock for storage.

It does the job as far as protection but blocks forward camera. I cannot video or take photos. I will be replacing it.

I wish Zing provided more pictures for each of their products.  This case has two parts: the main case and the bottom that stays attached to the camera.  The bottom attaches to the camera by stringing your strap through a loop on either side then (re)attaching your strap to the camera's metal loops.  The main case comes off and hangs by two plastic latches, but the main case can be detached.  The velcro patch that closes the whole thing is a quite large rectangle.

The problem: the bottom, when attached to my Canon XSi/450D, covers half of the LCD and most of the "D-pad" control buttons.  This leads me to believe that this camera case was designed for a camera without rear-panel screens or controls -- possibly a film SLR?  I doubt that this case would be any better on any other make/model of entry-level DSLR.

If you remove the bottom and attempt to use the main cover without it, then the case does not cover the camera completely.  Much of the back of the camera is exposed.

Three stars for quality is generous.

This product will be returned immediately.

I ordered this after reading a magazine review on cool new tech ideas.  imho, it's a great idea and snazzy design, but I had in my mind that it would provide better protection.

I believe the wrapper would only protect a camera from body scratches. The non-tripod version might be fine for exactly that purpose - some additional protection if you're inclined to lay your camera down on a counter at home, etc. The tripod itself isn't substantial enough for anything other than the occasional impromptu group shot, where you set the timer and zip over to join your friends.

Essentially, aside from an occasional afternoon when you tuck a camera in your pocket, cameras of all sizes are precision instruments & require protection. This clever wrap isn't a substitute for a protective case w/ a little portable tripod tucked inside.  Obviously, your use and needs may vary!

Case looks like it would protect well.  Problem is my camera lens is in the middle, not the side!

This is nice, a little gimmicky.  Helps prevent batteries all over your backpack or camera bag.  Adds a little weight, but worth it.

It serves the purpose, but maybe I have a VERY old Drop cam, because it won't "click" in the opening and stay, so I have to use some tacky material to keep it stable.  Either include some double-face adhesive or revise the opening somewhat to accommodate older dropcam models?

Good coverage. Protects camera the only minus it's a bit hard to put on afraid it might snap. However all in all worth the $$

It does protect the bottom of camera and easy open for battery removal. Does not obstruct the focus ring. Well done.

Serves it's purpose.  It's good at protecting the device.

I look pretty stupid in this, and it covers up my glorious hair, but it protects my noggin and that is good

Love the look of this product. It gets 4 stars because, as it may protect your device from scratches. it may not protect from actual damage. I do like the aux jack plug that provides further protection form dust in your pocket, etc. I bought this case because I like to use my iPhone as my back up camera, and I thought people would get a kick out of it.

Not bad....provides protection, but if you are shooting in low light or night time, take it off. There will be reflections inside between the filter and lens creating ghosting.
