I have one on Nikon D810 and it fits well, but I did trim a bit around the left top dial and the buttons work well. It covers the camera very well and protects from dings.

I concur with Country Boys observations. I also have the D7100 version. It’s been on my camera since it arrived and I haven’t even thought about takng it off. It takes a little time to get accustomed to having it on, but you’ll get used to it.

I don't like them. At a recent seminar, the Nikon Corporation photographer showed a photograph he had taken in a driving rain. I asked him how he protected his camera. He said that he did not use any protection because the D850 he was demonstrating and the lenses were fully weather sealed as are all 800 series Nikons. Of course Nikon pays for all his travel and all of his super extensive arsenal of equipment along with repair or replacement of damaged equipment.

Since Nikon does not pay for repair or replacement of my equipment, I always carry a Matin Deluxe Camera Rain Cover for my cameras. It is easy to use and gives me full access to all the controls.

Back in the day, when you bought an SLR camera, the camera came with a leather camera case. It was held on with a large knurled screw that screwed into the tripod mount in the camera, and the head of the screw had a threaded hole for mounting on a tripod. The camera was always protected and the cover camer off with. A couple snaps and just hung down out of the way. Never gave it second thought. That said, I don't have a camera case for my A6300.

Back in the day, they were called "never ready cases" and most serious photographers didn't use them because they were always in the way, especially when you had to remove them so you could open the camera to change film. Since DSLR's don't need to be opened, that would not be an issue, however the front cover would need to completely detachable so it would not be dangling and in the way when you were shooting as many brands did. Nikon solved that problem by adding an additional snap at the bottom of the cover so it could be quickly removed.

Back in the day, cameras came with 50mm lenses and the cover fit over it. Nowadays, cameras are body only or often with two lens bundles. Try putting a hard leather cover over a 50-210mm kit zoom.

True enough.

I don't know how thick this protective cover is. But, it could be a problem with a "L Bracket."

I tried one once to see how it worked out and I didn't much like it. It was difficult to get it on the body and it interfered with some of the controls and it looked like I had a bloated rubber camera. Lens skins, on the other hand, I use all the time.

I bought one last fall and it was ok but you'd better know your camera controls without looking at them because you won't be able to see them. In time I will know my controls by instinct and then it should be fine.
