 Exactly what I've been looking for... September 20, 2009

This product is just about the same for all models, this is for the D90. There are, however, some slight improvements as the models evolve.
Let me start off by telling you why I was looking for this. The main reason is that I don't like to carry around a camera case. I just like to grab the camera and go. For long trips, I will use a case, but general everyday use and around town, who wants to lug a case around. So I wanted something that I don't need to open and close. A neoprene cover is not form fitting and you still have to take it off. This looks perfect. There's second reason too. I upgraded from a 6 yrs old D70 to the D90. Everything about the D90 is perfect... except for the size. Why did Nikon make it so small? The D70 was perfect in size, D90, too small. Grip is too thin and body not tall enough. I'm not a big guy, but my hand is decently large and I have long fingers. So grabbing the D90 just felt really weird, like I'm pinching it. From the pictures, the armor will give it a nice wrap and add thickness.
Well readers, I got everything I wanted. I read the other reviews.
* Many thought the cover made the buttons hard to press. Well, yes, you have to press a little harder, but it really is no big deal, at all.
* Some say you can't read the icons. True, there's no white letters, but the impression on the rubber is deep enough that you can read them pretty easily. If you use the camera much at all you'd know most buttons pretty well. With the impressions on the rubber you'll see it quite easily. This was one of my big worries, no worries now.
* Many people had a hard time putting the camera on tri-pot with the cover on. Looks like Camera Armor found a good way. I don't know what the old ones are like, but the new one has a very thick bottom plate, harder rubber material. This place is about 1/3 inch thick. No way you can still screw on the tri-pot. But wait... there's an attached metal button screw that goes into the screw hole. The screw has a hole of its own. So once you screw it in, it's flush to the bottom and has a hole with thread for tri-pot. It's a tri-pot hole extender! Super!
So, it does everything the other reviewers mentioned. The issues (3 above) I found are non issues with this model. The overall camera is about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thicker around the grip area, and 1/3 inch taller. Just perfect. If you think the D90 is perfect without a cover, then with the cover you'll probably think it's too big. For me, wonderful.
It does pickup dust, ol well. No big deal. One thing I don't like is the SD door cover. There is nothing there. When gripping, it feels a little weird. They could have placed a rubber flap there I think to make the grip more complete. Also, the cover covers the Nikon logo just below the flash, maybe could have left a hole to show it. Does it really matter? Lastly, I think the lens cover is crap. So ugly and not useful. Not worth taking a star away though.
Overall, 5 stars! It's been a while since I was so happy with purchasing a product... helps to set the expectation low...
Fantastic!! May 2, 2010

I love this Armor!!! I got a Nikon D60 and the Armor for it and while that was fantastic and worked beautifully they have improved it so much for the D90! When I fitted it onto my D90 it fits perfectly, all of the buttons are easily seen and pressed and it now has a part to cover the bottom of the camera and "lock" into place! It looks very stylish, gives you very good grip of the camera, and allows for easy use of all of it's functions, even the tripod mount of the bottom.
The only issue I have is I bought the Pop-up shade by Delkin as well and since it's made by a different manufacturer it can't really be put on at the same time as the armor since it also covers the buttons around the LCD, but I will just interchange them as needed. I haven't ever really needed to use the pop-up shade since the LCD is so clear but I figure it's just another nice thing to have.
This armor is a must-have for anyone who cares about protecting their camera!
Excellent Body Armor January 30, 2010

When I go to a sporting event (or sightseeing in NYC), I am so absorved about looking for the perfect shot, that I dont have the time to be careful about were I put my camera down. This Body Armor has worked beautifully!!!!
Protecting my investment March 11, 2010

My Nikon D90 camera needed protection. We use it like some people use the little point and shoot camera. It goes to Sporting events, on vacations and any other place I go. I go to have fun and take some outstanding pictures.
An expensive camera could suffer damage with the fun part. The Camera Armor is the only product that I found that does a excellent job of protecting the camera from little bumps to large drops. Hats of to Camera Armor,
Tough enough May 17, 2010
Matthew B. Diehl (Sugar Land, TX United States)
As noted in previous reviews, you have to press a little harder on the buttons (which you would expect with a thick rubber skin). The bottom plate is a bit challenging to remove and replace and could use some redesign in future versions, but this is not a deal-killer. You can fold the bottom plate back to remove the battery without taking it off. The lens armor makes it difficult to put your camera in the bag (if yours goes in lens-first like mine).
However, this is a tough skin that fits well and will certainly protect your investment, which really is the point. Personally, I like the way it looks but I wouldn't care if it was "ugly" as someone else said. Grip is solid and comfortable.
