this is the secone one i have used, The firt one lasted 15 months. I loved the protection, non-skid, and grip. The only draw back is you have to pull it off to charge/ remove sd card.

skin for pentax w camera
[ Posted: 2007-08-29 ]
this is only useful if you are worried about the battery cover coming off while taking underwater photos. I bought one and rarely put it on my camera because it makes the buttons hard to press when it is on. It is very cheap so i cant say i am extremely disapointed, but they could have made it a little better.

This thing is a joke. Twenty-five dollars for a lump of malformed silicone. It may have been designed to cover some camera, but it was definitely not designed to cover the Optio. The screen window is too small, off center and doesn't line up with the display. The top edge, which is supposed to have "push through" buttons for the power switch and the shutter control lines up with neither button. You can not turn the camera on or off with the cover in place. The milky translucent color of the thing makes it impossible to see the symbols on any of the buttons underneath. You have to peel back the skin, memorize the button sequence you want, and then after replacing the skin, hope each button responds to your input. Inasmuch as the camera is waterproof to begin with, you are better off just accepting any scuffs and scratches which may occur while it is in your pocket.
Cam Skin review
[ Posted: 2007-02-05 ]
Not so great - even though it protects the cam a bit, once slipped onto the cam the operation buttons in the back won't work. For some strange reason trying to push the buttons through the skin does not work - in order to use any buttons, the cover has to be removed from the cam.
Nice idea but only decent execution
[ Posted: 2007-01-23 ]
While this skin is nice and for the price probably worth it, the skin makes the buttons hard to read/use. While I know the camera well, whenever I give it to someone else to snap a picture, they end up pushing the "off" button instead. Very frustrating sometimes. Anyway, it's a decent buy for the price, but also doesn't cover the lense or anything. I'd get it, but don't expect too much.
