Bought the body armor December 3, 2008
I purchased the Camera Armor the body armor is great but the lens hood blows chunks... it is very awkward to handle and doesn't stay collapsed.
 Camera Armor for Canon XTi November 25, 2008
MADE Products CA-1112-BLK Camera Armor for Canon XTi/400D Digital SLR (Black) I recently purchased the Camera Armor for my Canon XTi. I am pleased with the product as it add extra protection for my camera especially when moving through narrow spaces. Also, when getting off tour buses, trains, etc. I continuely bump my camera on the seats, guard rails, and door ways. I had problems with my Canon EP-EX15 Eyepiece Extender for all EOS Cameras, because the LCD screen protector fix over the original eye piece. The Camera Armor company sent me extra LCD screen protectors, so I could experiment with the screen protector. I cut off the piece that goes around the eye piece and was able to fix my extender on with no problem. The armor piece for the lens does interfere with the build in flash when shooting pictures up close. I still think it is an excellent product for the protectiion of my camera.

Provides good protection. However, there is no access for the wire connecting the A/C adapter.
Tricky fitting but works great September 30, 2008
As with other reviews I've read, it does take some negotiating before you figure out how it slips on. And other arguments about collecting dust - well I'd rather have dust collecting than scratch and dings on my camera.
Expensive? I guess if you think protecting your camera isn't worth the money then perhaps, it is. The lens piece is useless as other review suggests.
Exactly what I needed. September 20, 2008
I wanted a way to keep my camera just a little safer at Burning Man, which has a harsh environment full of fine, pervasive alkaline dust, but is also one of the most photogenic places on earth. I know there's no way to keep my camera completely dust-free, and this product is mainly protection against minor impact and not necessarily environment, but I didn't want to go out there without any protection at all.
It's made of the kind of material that easily collects lint, so I was worried that it would get caked with dust, but that wasn't too much of a problem. I kept the armor on for the entire event, and it made cleanup a lot easier when I got home. After I removed it, I rinsed it off with some mild soap and warm water and it's good to go. I used a cotton swab to clean off the exposed areas of my camera, and that's all it needed. (Always swap lenses inside a car or other protected area down there to protect your sensor.)
I was still able to use all of the camera functions and change the battery and memory card and tripod mount without any problems. Using the covered buttons takes some getting used to, but I was willing to work with it and it served me well.
I was especially glad for the plastic LCD screen cover, which I didn't expect when I opened the box. At first I considered leaving it off, but it proved worthwhile when I saw how the rubber part of the armor sealed against it, keeping gypsum dust completely out of the controls on the back of the camera. This proved to be the most valuable part of the armor - I can't imagine having to dig dust out from around those buttons. I'm not sure it would have survived. And my LCD came out without a scratch!
I didn't bother with the piece that goes around the front of the lens. It wouldn't work as protection against dust, but may come in handy for impacts and might be useful as a small lens hood in a pinch.
For the price, this was a fantastic piece of insurance for my camera body, and it'll get used again when I'm camping or backpacking or at the beach. Love it!
This isn't the kind of thing you want to deal with in the studio, but if you dig shooting in the great outdoors, don't leave home without it.
Pros: price, ease of use, good protection
Cons: Nothing to complain about - it simply is what it is!
